Barbados (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Barbados" was a UK number one single in August 1975 by Typically Tropical. "Barbados" entered the UK Singles Chart on 5 July 1975, and five weeks later was at No.1 for one week. In total, "Barbados" spent eleven weeks in the chart. The track also reached number one in the Irish Singles Chart.

Follow-up singles "Rocket Now" and "Ghost Story" failed to chart. However, in 1999 a reworked version of the song, renamed "We're Going To Ibiza!", also reached the UK #1 spot for The Vengaboys.
