Barbados (Typically Tropical song)

"Barbados" is the debut single by British band Typically Tropical, released in May 1975.

"Barbados" entered the UK Singles Chart at number 37 in late June 1975, and five weeks later it hit number one for a week. In total, "Barbados" spent eleven weeks on the chart. The track also reached number one on the Irish Singles Chart, the South African Singles Chart, and number 20 on the Australian Singles Chart (Kent Music Report). The track was later released on an album in 1975 by Gull Records, named Barbados Sky.

Follow-up singles "Rocket Now" and "The Ghost Song" failed to chart, leaving Typically Tropical as a one-hit wonder.

In 1999, a reworked version of the song, renamed "We're Going to Ibiza", also reached the UK number one spot for the Vengaboys.
