I hate when I have to do this, but yes, the music video is there. Apparently what is arguably the most well-known music video by The Go-Go’s is otherwise not on YouTube.

Anyways, seeing as this video is really known for one thing and one thing only, I will let Jane Wiedlin explain shooting that part. Here it is from the book I Want My MTV:

Jane Wiedlin:

“We’d already had a number one album and we were seasoned rock stars by the time our second album came out. There was a big budget to make ‘Vacation’–$50,000 or something. We still saw videos as an annoying waste of time. After seven or eight hours we sent somebody out to sneak in booze. When I look at that video now and see the parts we filmed at the end of the day–we’re smiling and waving our hands, but if you look at our eyes, we’re all so drunk. We didn’t try to make it look like we were really water-skiing.”

The music video was directed by Mick Haggerty & C.D. Taylor who mostly stuck with Hall & Oates music videos. Yes, that does include the ridiculous video for Jingle Bell Rock.

Enjoy!
