Fountains of Wayne - "I Want An Alien for Christmas" (1997)

Fountains of Wayne are power pop geniuses. Every song they write is very clever and they always get stuck in your head. They’ve released four full length albums, most recently Traffic and Weather which came out earlier this year. Their biggest success was the hit “Stacy’s Mom” which was inescapable in the summer of 2003, and not without cause. It was a great tune and turned a lot of people onto the band. Today’s Christmas song was originally released as a single in 1997 and later resurfaced on the band’s 2005 rarities compilation Out of State Plates. Check it out and I think you’ll agree that an alien would indeed make a great Christmas present this year.
