Which punk band had a hit with “Holiday in Cambodia”? The Dead Kennedys had a hit with “Holiday in Cambodia.”

The American punk band released the song as its second single in May 1980, with “Police Truck” on the B-side. It became one of the group’s best-known songs and was later re-recorded for their debut album, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, released in 1980.

Written by vocalist Jello Biafra, guitarist East Bay Ray, bassist Klaus Flouride, and drummer Ted, the song attacks Western privilege and complacency. Its title and lyrics refer to Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, whose rule from 1975 to 1979 caused mass death and suffering. The song contrasts comfortable Western student life with life under a genocidal regime.

Listeners sometimes confuse it with songs by The Clash, Black Flag, or The Misfits because all were influential punk acts. However, “Holiday in Cambodia” is specifically associated with the Dead Kennedys. The original single and album recording also differ in length and arrangement.
