First you hear boots marching, a drum, an electric guitar, and then all of a sudden everything shoots down like an avalanche of rubble: who built the Berlin Wall 60 years ago is well known. But whoever brought it down 44 years ago, at least acoustically, is on a different sheet – namely the British charts from October 1977, where “Holidays in the Sun” by the Sex pistols lands in 8th place, which can be considered to be somewhat remarkable for a song with the message “Gotta go over the Berlin Wall”, in the middle of the peak of the disco wave (5th place was something from Degradation, Held number 1 Baccarat with “Yes Sir, I Can Boogie”).
