@onlyeyesabove Well, look at Elvis. He made many versions of some of the most well-known Christmas carols to the christian population at the time. Yet the man was never a christian. The media's filled with "artists" that make versions of these songs, but they don't make them to worship Jesus. Instead, they do it to make more money. Now, I don't know for sure if this group is even partly christian, so if I'm wrong I will stand corrected. Until then, I still highly doubt they believe the words.
Oh man... this song gives me chills every time. I love the lyrics. You can tell that it was not originally written in English, based on the cadence of the song. Great version by Weezer.
Look, i=i've always loved Weezer. I've always loved christmas/christmas music. Now they're covering songs for the holidays. BEAST! Also, Jesus DID exist and he taught us that our love of our peers, family, and love of God would get us to heaven. He also taught us to respect all human life and to perform good deeds. People should tink before they comment...
This song represents why I don't understand why people hate Jesus. All He said was to love everyone and be a good person. Whether you want to follow Christianity or not, I don't think doing what He said would have us in the situation we currently are in.
@joshie4330 i don't hate the dude, i just don't believe he ever actually existed. well, maybe he did, but when a kid is born to a cheating wife in a barn i guess you gotta glorify it or accept it for the white trash activity that it is. either way, i love this song, and this version is awesome. to each his own.
Hey I love Weezer, and that's just one reason why. Other Christmas Rock songs to check out are "All I want for Christmas is you" by My Chemical Romance "Christmas Baby Please Come Home" by Anberlin "Little Drummy Boy" by the Almost. I'm legit posting only awesome Christmas songs on my facebook everyday til Christmas.
A few minutes later, the babysitter called. She asked if she could cover the clown statue in the kids room. The parents told the babysitter to take the kids out and call the police. The clown statue was actually a murderer who escaped out of jail and goes around killing ppl.real story.

What a "sweet hymn of joy" -- I'm glad that Weezer "raised" it!
And what a powerful second verse: "Truely he taught us to love one another, his law is love and his gospel is peace; chains shall he break for the slave is our brother, and in his name all oppression shall cease!" Now *that* is what we all need to work for this Christmas and year round--whether we're Christian or not. This world needs peace and social justice.
@bluesharp78 "Forever proclaim". Granted, not a lot of people would say 'evermore proclaim' now, but I wouldn't question it's grammatical integrity. Language changes with time. Just look at Olde English!
I actually like how they played most of the songs as written, and didn't "spice" them up too much. They sound wonderfully traditional, but still identifiably Weezer.
I highly doubt these band members believe what they sing.

You're just living in the wrong country then, here in Sweden we respect the Christian views of the world.. Or any religion for that matter.

I see what you're saying.. I don't know... maybe they just let the song speak for itself. It's pretty powerful in it's own right.
Hehe.. more to my point, it's definitely Weezer doing an amazing song. Nuff said. :)
