Anderson .Paak - What is a Holiday

Copied!

{Intro: Anderson .Paak, Elmo, & Cookie Monster}
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh
Holiday Holiday
What is a holiday?
Holiday Holiday What is a holiday
You asking me?
No idea, sorry
Hi Cookie Monster
Hi Elmo
Hi Anderson
Cookie Monster, you know what a holiday is
Me do?
Yes

{Verse 1: Anderson .Paak, Elmo, Cookie Monster, & Both Anderson .Paak and Elmo}
A holiday is a special day
A day that we all celebrate
Cooking together with family and friends
And eat, now that sounds great
Sure there's food, but Cookie Monster
Holidays are so much more
They celebrate those special times
Or things that happened once before
You got holidays that honor people
Like Mother's Day and Fathеr's
Martin Luther King and Presidents
And Indigеnous People, and St. Patrick's, and Grandparents, and neighbors, and siblings, and many others

{Chorus: Anderson .Paak & All}
Holiday Holiday (Hey)
What is a holiday?
Holiday Holiday (Hey)
What is a holiday? (Let me tell you)
Let's dance, let's sing
Make a grand old day hooray
Or simply be with friends and family
Holidays we celebrate, (hey)

{Verse 2: Anderson .Paak, Elmo, Cookie Monster, & Both Anderson .Paak and Elmo}
Holidays remind us of an event that we remember
Like Memorial Day, Juneteenth
Not to mention Veterans Day
And (?...), and 4th of July, and sometimes things that happen every year
Like Kwanza, Groundhog Day, Lunar New Year, and Chinese New Year
And New Year's Eve which is the last day of December
There's Easter and Three Kings
Hanukkah, Ramadan, Diwali
There's Passover, Dia de Los Muertos
And Christmas, ooh that makes me jolly
There are holidays for Valentine
And holidays for flags
There's Halloween, there's Earth Day
Even holidays for gags
Wait, hold up
The world is out of cookies
Wait what?
No I'm serious, ain't no more cookies in the world fam
Oh no!
April Fools!
Oh, that's a good joke

{Chorus: Anderson .Paak & All}
Holiday Holiday (Hey)
What is a holiday?
Holiday Holiday (Hey)
What is a holiday?
Let's dance, let's sing
Make a grand old day hooray
Or simply be with friends and family
Holidays we celebrate (Oh)
Holidays we celebrate
(H is for Holiday)

edit bio

Brandon Paak Anderson, a.k.a. Anderson .Paak, is a singer, songwriter, producer, and drummer from Oxnard, California. He released his debut EP, Violets Are Blue, under his original moniker, Breezy Lovejoy, in 2010. He eventually began using his new stage name and released O.B.E. Vol. 1 in June 2012 and Lovejoy in October 2012.

Before his 2014 album Venice, .Paak officially changed his name to Anderson .Paak. When asked if his name change was symbolic of a turning point in his career by Consequence of Sound, he stated:

Yeah, that was the case. […] and I felt like it was time to transition to a different name.

With his name change, .Paak was reborn. Venice, released a full two years after his last project showcased .Paak’s incredible versatility. “Milk n' Honey” showed .Paak’s storytelling ability. In “The City,” .Paak shows he can create a West Coast anthem. “Drugs,” the single that got .Paak noticed by Dre, is perhaps .Paak’s most telling song of his sound, with powerful vocals and progressive production on full display.

2015 was a standout year for .Paak, thanks to his guest features. Appearing on six songs from Dr. Dre’s Compton project, as well as two songs on The Game’s The Documentary 2.5, his popularity began to skyrocket. In late 2015, .Paak released two EP’s: The Anderson .Paak EP in collaboration with The Blended Babies and Link Up & Suede as one half of NxWorries with producer Knxwledge.

Riding the success of 2015, 2016 saw .Paak collaborate with many big name artists. Anderson was featured on Macklemore’s “Dance Off”, Domo Genesis' “Dapper”, KAYTRANDA’s “Glowed Up,” Snakehips “Money On Me”, ScHoolboy Q’s “Blank Face”, and Mac Miller’s “Dang!”.

In January of 2016, .Paak released his second album, Malibu. The album, sixteen tracks in length, is .Paak’s strongest work to date, showing the growth he’s made since his Breezy Lovejoy days. The album was met with incredible praise, receiving an 85 on Metacritic, making it one of the most well-received albums of the year.

After the release of Malibu, .Paak announced that he signed to Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment. Paak was also a member of 2016’s XXL Freshman Issue.

He released his third studio album, Oxnard, on November 16, 2018. He would release two singles prior to the project: “Tints”, featuring Kendrick Lamar, and “Who R U?”, produced in part by Dr. Dre. The album was received well by critics, and debuted at #11 on the Billboard 200. The song “Bubblin” won “Best Rap Performance” at the 61st Grammy Awards on May 17, 2019.

On April 12, 2019, he released his fourth studio album, Ventura. The star-studded project features such artists as André 3000, Smokey Robinson, Lalah Hathaway, and more. Ventura would become Paak’s first US Top Ten hit, debuting at #4 on the Billboard 200.
