Holiday in Spain (song)
"Holiday in Spain" is a song originally performed by Counting Crows on the album Hard Candy and later recorded as a duet with Dutch pop-rock group BLØF. A notable aspect of this version is the parts performed by BLØF are sung in Dutch, whereas the parts performed by Counting Crows are sung in English. Regardless of language changes, the lyrics remain consistent throughout the song. It became a Platinum-selling hit in the Netherlands, reaching number one on both the Dutch Top 40 and the Single Top 100 charts, and it briefly charted in the Flanders region of Belgium.
