The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Christmas Memories of Weird Al Yankovic" by the artist ""Weird Al" Yankovic"

Contents

Hi! This is Weird Al Yankovic.

This text is a humorous story told from the perspective of Alfred Matthew "Weird Al" Yankovic, a famous American musician and parodist. The humor of the text is built on absurd, incompatible details that turn the usual idea of Christmas upside down.

Yankovic ironically describes his childhood "memories" of the holiday: cooking strange dishes (raspberry jam and tuna burritos), decorating the Christmas tree with lumps of sausage stuffing, torturing Santa Claus with a waffle iron. All these details create a comic effect and make fun of the stereotypical ideas about a perfect, sentimental Christmas.

As a result, the text is a satirical look at holiday traditions that makes you laugh at clichés and look at familiar things from a new, unexpected angle.

Hello, this is Weird Al Yankovic.

You know, some of my favorite memories are those of Christmas time.

I still remember when I was a little boy, just waiting for the big day.

Mom would be cooking up a mess of boysenberry and tunafish burritos

For our big Christmas dinner,

And dad would be decorating the tree with little bits of Spam.

And then, the big day would finally arrive

I'd stay up all night and wait for Santa,

And when he finally showed up,

We'd all hold his hands down in the waffle maker until he promised

To give us everything we wanted! Ah, yeah, those were the days...

Well, Merry Christmas everybody, and, let's do lunch.
