Track 7: Yes I Do - The Go-Devils

Track 8: Ari-Bri - The Bakans
Ari-Bri is a girl group in the same vein as the Raincoats – off-key and basically strange pop music.
Lyrics:
I want to go on a vacation
In a scarlet swimsuit
Taking a nap in the shade
Whoo-hoo
I want to go on a vacation
Going for a drive in a convertible
Macadamia Nuts
Whoo-hoo
I want to go on a vacation
