Two Tickets to Paradise is a song by American rock singer Eddie Money, from his album Eddie Money in 1977. It was released as a single and reached #22 on the Billboard Hot 100. Money wrote the song about his girlfriend at the time. His girlfriend's mother wanted her to marry a doctor or a lawyer, not a musician. Money wrote the song as plea to take her away. It was also used as one of the songs in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and on an episode of the TV show Unhitched. The song also appears on an episode (Season 5: Episode 6) of the television show, The Simpsons, in which Homer sings and plays the air guitar to the rock song. Micheal Scott of The Office (U.S. TV series) sings a short, parodied version of the song in the episode A Benihana Christmas.
