Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday

"Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday" is a song by German Euro disco band Boney M., released in 1979 as an adaptation of the song, "Polly Wolly Doodle". Despite breaking their row of seven consecutive German number-one singles, peaking at number four, the single was a hit all over Europe, peaking at number three in the United Kingdom. The song and its B-side, "Ribbons of Blue", were taken from the movie Disco Fever. "Ribbons of Blue" has a strong country feel with the addition of a pedal steel guitar. Even though the single cover announced the arrival of the next Boney M. album, Oceans of Fantasy, it would still be another six months before the album was released, and of the two songs, only "Ribbons of Blue" (penned by the group's drummer, Keith Forsey) was included and just in a one- or two-minute edit, depending on the pressing.
