"One Big Holiday" is a song by American rock band My Morning Jacket and is featured on their 2003 album It Still Moves. It is also featured on the band's 2006 live concert CD and DVD Okonokos. It is their most well-known song, behind "I'm Amazed".

Overview

Despite a lack of radio airplay the track has achieved some notability, which could be the result of several live performances, most notably on Late Night with Conan O'Brien as well as several performances at the Bonnaroo Music Festival. Its signature guitar riff and the lyrics, telling the story of the band being "discovered", continue to make it a staple of live performances.

The song has made appearances on several soundtracks, most notably the 2007 film The Lookout and the 2006 film Stick It. The song also was featured in episode 6, season 4 of the Fox medical drama House.

The song is a playable track in Guitar Hero 5 and a downloadable track in Rock Band 4.

A remixed and remastered version of the song was released in 2016 in promotion of the deluxe edition of It Still Moves.
