Jarrod Alonge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴On the first day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
A pair of skinny khakis
On the second day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Two snapback hats and a pair of skinny khakis
My true love gave to me
Three peach teas
Two snapback hats and a pair of skinny khakis
On the fourth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Four pairs of vans, three peach teas
Two snapback hats and a pair of skinny khakis
On the fifth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Five large pizzas
Four pairs of vans, three peach teas
Two snapback hats and a pair of skinny khakis
On the fifth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Six flannel shirts
Five large pizzas
Four pairs of vans, three peach teas
Two snapback hats and a pair of skinny khakis
On the seventh day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Seven vinyl records, six flannel shirts
Five large pizzas
Four pairs of vans, three peach teas
Two snapback hats and a pair of skinny khakis
On the eighth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Eight Tumblr notes
Seven vinyl records, six flannel shirts
Five large pizzas
Four pairs of vans, three peach teas
Two snapback hats and a pair of skinny khakis
On the ninth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Nine cardboard signs, eight Tumblr notes
Seven vinyl records, six flannel shirts
Five large pizzas
Four pairs of vans, three peach teas
Two snapback hats and my parents understanding
On the tenth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Ten pics of patty
Nine cardboard signs, eight Tumblr notes
Seven vinyl records, six flannel shirts
They forgot the pepperoni
Four pairs of vans, three peach teas
Two snapback hats and a merch guy we named Fappy
On the eleventh day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Eleven anchor tats, ten pics of patty
Nine cardboard signs, eight Tumblr notes
Seven vinyl records, six flannel shirts
This isn't what I ordered
(But seriously, call Domino's and demand a refund)
Four pairs of vans, three peach teas
Two snapback hats and an unnecessary breakdown
Blegh
On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Twelve broken hearts
Eleven anchor tats, ten pics of patty
Nine cardboard signs, eight Tumblr notes
Seven vinyl records, six flannel shirts
"No, this is unnacceptable, who forgets pepperoni?
Pepperoni is like the default topping
Like, if anything, people who ordered cheese
Would get the pepperoni on it accidentally!"
"C'mon man, finish the song"
"Fine!"
Four pairs of vans, three peach teas
Two snapback hats and a pair of skinny khakis
"Merry Christmas to each and every one of you"
Overall Meaning
The lyrics of Jarrod Alonge's "12 Days of a Pop Punk Christmas" satirize the pop punk subculture by listing various stereotypical pop punk accessories and interests that someone's "true love" might give them as Christmas gifts. The first day starts with "skinny khakis," which became a staple among the pop punk scene in the early 2010s. As the song progresses, the gifts become more varied, including Vans shoes, flannel shirts, vinyl records, Tumblr notes, and even a reference to the pop punk band Four Year Strong's song "Wasting Time (Eternal Summer)." The song ends with a humorous breakdown and a final gift of "broken hearts," poking fun at the angsty themes often present in pop punk music.
The song is a playful take on the holiday classic "The Twelve Days of Christmas," and its lyrics are meant to be humorous and entertaining. It serves as a commentary on the pop punk subculture and the various trends and accessories associated with it.
