"Holiday" belies strong influences from the things [[Weezer]] front man [[Rivers Cuomo]] was interested in at the time of [[1993]]. Cuomo expressed in a [[Rivers Cuomo Fan Interview 2006|fan interview in 2006]] that the famed beat poet Jack Kerouac was one of his favorite philosophers at the time. In the notable breakdown of the song (the band often refers to these as "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beach_Boys Beach Boys] Breakdowns"), Cuomo sings the line, "On the road with Kerouac", a reference to Kerouac's seminal work ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Road On The Road]''. The opening line, "Let's go away for a while," is also likely inspired by the Beach Boys track "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%27s_Go_Away_for_Awhile Let's Go Away For Awhile]" from the Beach Boys album ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_Sounds Pet Sounds]'', by which Cuomo was also influenced. | "Holiday" belies strong influences from the things [[Weezer]] front man [[Rivers Cuomo]] was interested in at the time of [[1993]].
