Holiday - Weezer This song contains references to a couple of things Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo was interested in at the time he wrote it in 1993. In 2006, Cuomo mentioned that beat poet Jack Kerouac was one of his favorite philosophers at the time. In the notable breakdown of the song, which the band often refers to as Beach Boys Breakdowns, Cuomo sings the line, On the road with Kerouac, a reference to Kerouacs seminal work On the Road. The opening line in this song, Lets go away for a while, is likely a reference to the Beach Boys track Lets Go Away for a While from the album Pet Sounds. Cuomo has mentioned in the past that the Beach Boys (and the Pet Sounds album in particular) are a huge influence on him.
