AFoR Advent, day 6: Weezer
Yes, I’m aware that today is the 7th and I’m posting the sixth day of the advent calender. This is because I didn’t have the chance to get one written up yesterday what with the gig and all. Which didn’t quite go to plan, but I’ll write about that in more detail soon enough.
Today we have a song from Weezer. It’s not the greatest Christmas song, but how can I turn down an excuse to post that picture? It’s not even mocked up, it’s the actual cover from the two track CD this comes from. I think it was a fan club exclusive or something dating from somewhere around 2000. Both of the festive songs on it aren’t classics, but they are decent enough.
‘Christmas Celebration’ is the rockier of the two, taking a rather sarcastic tone toward the whole thing. Rivers seems to look down upon the whole event, laying into everything from the “pagentry”, to the carollers, all the way down to the egg nog. What the hell is egg nog anyway? My awareness of it pretty much entirely comes from this song and an episode of the Simpsons, neither of which are particularly helpful. Anyway, it’s fun enough, particularly if you’re someone who doesn’t happen to really like Christmas very much like myself.
MP3 Weezer – Christmas Celebration (expired)
I’ll be posting a second Christmas song to get up back on track with the advent calender later on this evening.

You should post Weezer’s “The Christmas Song” too. It might even be better than “Christmas Celebration.”
