National Lampoon's Vacation, sometimes referred to as Vacation, is a 1983 American comedy film directed by Harold Ramis and starring Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Randy Quaid, Dana Barron, and Anthony Michael Hall. John Candy, Imogene Coca, Christie Brinkley, and a young Jane Krakowski appear in supporting roles. The screenplay was written by John Hughes, based on his short story "Vacation '58" which appeared in National Lampoon.
The film was a box-office hit, earning more than $60 million in the US with an estimated budget of $15 million, and received widespread acclaim from critics. In 2000, readers of Total Film voted it the 46th greatest comedy film of all time. It is widely regarded as the best National Lampoon film, and in August 2015 was listed as the best film in the Vacation film series by Daniel Cohen. It continues to be a cult film and a staple on cable television.
Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), wanting to spend more time with his wife Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo) and children Rusty (Anthony Michael Hall) and Audrey (Dana Barron), decides to lead the family on a cross-country expedition from the Chicago area to the Los Angeles amusement park Walley World, billed as "America's Favorite Family Fun Park." Ellen wants to fly, but Clark insists on driving, so he can bond with his family. He has ordered a new car in preparation for the trip, but the dealer (Eugene Levy) claims that it will not be ready for six weeks. Clark is forced to accept a Wagon Queen Family Truckster, an ugly, out-sized station wagon, as the car he brought to trade in (a 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser) has already been hauled away and crushed.
Love let me know, let me know

Penthouse dreams, basement realities for the point to cash
Should I pace myself gradually
Goddamn love give me a sign
Give me your words, give me your sight, give me your mind
'Cause I'm feeling blind death and dumb

I sleep better with my life it's been awaken
Then I might leave the light soon
So you could see I'm focused
This game has a play so all I see is logos
Then most of you but I just hope the world can see what I see
Hear what I hear, breathe what I breathe
It's so far fresh idea, but at least I have a year
At least I have it, at least I have it
Maybe I can work a little imagine where are the rabbit
Maybe I can turn a little passion to a palace
'Cause after all I'm standing on the three point line wide open
Pass the palm mother fuckers
Let me know, let me know, let me know
Is that alright again
Yeah yeah
Before the sun comes up I gotta love love love
I started when I pray like... got
Please don't take it personal I just feel out of place
My mind is just a vehicle I'm running out of faith
But please I believe I see the reason that I
Keep on breathing in my freedom that's why, that's why
I'm gratefully dead to the life of the impossible
I never thought I guess so high of the obstacles
I know it's gonna pay off and it's... it's gonna be the comical
And when I put my mom someone tropical
These other allusions keep on moving tryin to fuck me up
Where's the forty glover when you need it in this lucky cut
And I wonder if they party up and having screaming lucky us
