Subject: National Lampoon Vacation background song....WHAT IS IT???????

Written By: Patrick on 08/16/05 at 11:01 pm

Does anyone know the name of the song that is playing in the background when Clark and Rusty race to Wally World in "National Lampoon's Vacation".  I have searched high and low all over the internet and can't find it, I need it for a video that I am making and can't finish the video until I find this song!!  If anyone knows it, please let me know, it would absolutely make my day if I could find it and would be very grateful to whomever knows what it is.  Thanks.

It's been years since I've seen it, but wasn't it the "Chariots of Fire" theme from the movie of the same name? I could be way off, though.

I believe that was the theme for "Vacation", but I'm not sure it was the music during the scene Patrick was talking about.

Yep..the scene where Clark and Rusty are running in slow motion towards Wally World, is the Vangelis song, "Chariots of Fire".   The opening theme song to that movie is Lindsey Buckingham's "Holiday Road"....
