Good Day at the Races

"Good Day at the Races" is the first single from Canadian band Hollerado's LP, Margaritaville 2: The Reckoning.

Hollerado frontman Menno Versteeg has stated that Good Day at the Races is "a song about Freddie Mercury,"[1] lead singer of the British rock band Queen.

It finishes with "way down low, but I got somebody to..." being sung while the guitar is sustained, and eventually turns into an a capella, with all instruments returning briefly at the end to play just a few more notes.

The music video, directed by Michael Maxxis was Filmed at The Abbyville Rodeo Grounds in Abbyville, Kansas and Hedrick's Exotic Animal Farm in Nickerson, KS, features the bands riding on and racing ostriches.

It also shows the band banging on buckets with sticks of wood, women dancing while looking totally uninterested, shots of a small crowd in the bleachers eating and drinking soda while seeming bored, and stop motion animation of fruits in sand.
