Happy holidays, you bastard

I chose this blink 182 song in particular because of the way it makes people feel when they hear it, especially for the first time, This song will take the listener by surprise as it is a humour song, with a meaning which people can relate to around christmas time which is stress.

It seemed an appropriate choice because of it being November and relevant to the season.

Mark Hoppus refers to his grandfather in these lyrics to being old whereas in the song Stockholm syndrome he sees his grandfather in a heroic different light:

"The beginning of this song has letters that my grandfather wrote to my grandmother in World War II. Joanne Thalley came into the studio and read them. The song itself is about paranoia. Being afraid of the outside world convinced that people can hear your thoughts." (thanks, Tim - Pittsburgh, PA)

Below are a few lines wrote about the song and peoples opinions on them, this is the reason I am choosing Blink 182 and this song.
