"Vacation" is a 1982 single released by the all-female rock band, the Go-Go's. The song was the first single from the album Vacation. The song became one of the Go-Go's highest-charting singles, reaching No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1982, being the band's second and final US top-10 hit. The song was released on 7" vinyl format, with the surf rock song "Beatnik Beach" as the single's B-side. "Vacation" carries the distinction of being the first known cassette single released in the United States or "cassingle" as trademarked by I.R.S. Records. Billboard called it a "perfect summer record" saying it is "uptempo, optimistic and the aural companion for lazy days at the beach." Cash Box called it "propulsive power pop." An earlier version of "Vacation", written solely by Kathy Valentine, was released by The Textones, of which Valentine was a member, in 1980. It was released on Chiswick Records in the United Kingdom as an EP and later a 45.
