(Apropos of nothing, we’re big fans of going on holiday around here, and coincidentally our staff picks features have a Holliday as a fan. We like tunes with our MMA coverage, so here are our top five “holiday” songs, in tribute: (1) “Holiday” by Green Day (2) “Holiday” by Madonna (3) “Holiday in Cambodia” by Dead Kennedys (4) “Holiday Road” by Lindsey Buckingham (5) “Holidays in the Sun” by Sex Pistols (HM) “Deadbeat Holiday” by Green Day.)
