"Barbados" is the debut single by British band Typically Tropical, released in May 1975.[1]
"Barbados" entered the
Barbados Sky
.
Follow-up singles "Rocket Now" and "The Ghost Song" failed to chart,[4] 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.[4]
