"Holiday in Spain" is a song by American rock band Counting Crows from their fourth studio album, Hard Candy (2002), and later recorded as a duet with Dutch pop-rock group BLØF in 2004. This version features BLØF singing parts of the song in Dutch, whereas the parts performed by Counting Crows are sung in English. Regardless of language changes, the lyrics remain consistent throughout the song. The duet version is included on BLØF's 2004 compilation album, Het eind van het begin. Released as a single in Europe on May 28, 2004, the duet became a platinum-selling hit in the Netherlands, reaching number one on both the Dutch Top 40 and Single Top 100 charts. The three CD singles released include additional Counting Crows songs that were recorded live at Rotterdam Ahoy on March 10, 2004, including "Mr. Jones", "Daylight Fading", and "Hanginaround". The original version of "Holiday in Spain" also appears on Counting Crows' compilation album Films About Ghosts (The Best Of...) (2003).
