''American Holiday'', whose title is seemingly an amalgam between the Weezer songs "[[Surf Wax America]]" and "[[Holiday]]", was produced in Taiwan by the record label Tornado. Its exact release date is unknown, however it is known to have been created sometime in mid-to-late [[1995]], after the release of ''[[Geezer]]'' in Spring.<ref name="TodayInWeezerHist" /> Its art is derivative of the cover of ''Weezer (The Blue Album)'', with the four band members overlayed over a green-tinted American flag. Most songs are referred to by incorrect or fabricated titles on the track listing.<ref name="weezine6" /> An additional track, "Conclusion", is present only as part of the track listing printed on the release's disc. It is unknown how many copies were produced or how broadly it was distributed. The CD is coveted by some as a rare collector's item.<ref name="TodayInWeezerHist" /> | ''American Holiday'', whose title is seemingly an amalgam between the Weezer songs "[[Surf Wax America]]" and "[[Holiday]]", was produced in Taiwan by the record label Tornado.
