Clark's "Anuther Sunny Hulliday" achieves precisely this transformation with the kind of unashamed populist vigour that would make Tony Blackburn weep with joy. Here is a songwriter who has grasped the fundamental truth that the best holiday songs aren't about holidays at all - they're about the desperate human need to believe that escape is possible, even if only for three minutes and twenty-seven seconds.
