Music and lyrics

Musically, the song is based on Madonna's 1983 hit "Holiday". DJ Martin van der Schagt had a home studio where he recorded the demo version of "Holiday Rap" using the original tape loops of Madonna's "Holiday". Not possible for a commercial release, producer Ben Liebrand figured out which instruments were used in the original and re-recorded the music from scratch as opposed to sampling the original, with different lyrics and new melodies.[1] In the lyrics, both singers tell of their summer vacations in various towns, such as London and New York.[2] The song also features an interpolation of the chorus of Cliff Richard's "Summer Holiday". The music video for the song was named by MuchMusic as the worst video of 1986.

In 1987, Russian Sergey Minaev, a Soviet DJ and pop singer of the mid-1980s, who specialized in humorous songs and musical parodies, performed his version called "DJ's Rap (Рэп дискжокея)" with new lyrics about Soviet censorship in satirical key.[3] It gained strong popularity throughout the USSR in 1987, when music video was released.[4] It reached 4th place in "Videos of the Year" by "Smena" and 12th place in January 1988's "Top 30 Hits" by ZD Awards.[5][6]
