KXLU, a college station in L.A., played _Everyday’s a Holiday_ back in the early-'80s. I have the album, but it’s packed away in the storage unit. Who did it? \*Went down to the beach and smoked some ‘sense’ They all laughed 'cause I knew what it meant Everyday’s a holiday! (Everyday’s a holiday!) Everyday’s a holiday! (Everyday’s a holiday!) Everyday’s a holiday! And night time’s a party, too.\* ---

As the pirate said about the steering wheel in his trousers, ‘Arrr! It’s drivin’ me nuts!’ I know it wasn’t The Jazz Butch Conspiracy. It certainly wasn’t Seventeen Pygmies. (Those are a couple of albums I bought at the same time.) Seems to me the band that did _Every Day’s a Holiday_ had a sort of offbeat name. Or maybe I’m (not-) remembering wrong. I tried googling the title and the few lyrics I remember, but I’m not finding anything. Of course if someone comes up with it I’ll :smack: myself when I read the name. ---

Well, I looked on [ubl.com](http://ubl.com), which is awesome for stuff like this, and all I found was a Delaney Bramlett song from 77, which probably wouldn’t have made college radio, and something by the Dave Rave Group, from the late 80’s, which is outside the time parameters. [ubl.com](http://ubl.com), though, is the balls. ---

No, that’s not the name. Maybe what I heard was a cover? I’ve e-mailed the music director at KXLU, but I’m not hopeful since it’s been so long since they played it a lot. Being a college station, the DJs are long-graduated. ---

No reply from KXLU. I still don’t know who did this song.
