MU330
MU330 are a ska punk band from St. Louis, Missouri.
Formed by students of St. Louis University High School in 1988, MU330 played a self-described brand of music called "Psycho Ska", high energy ska punk marked by manic performances and humorous, often strange lyricism. Since 1997, however, the band's musical direction has shifted towards a more melodic and lyric-driven ska/indie rock sound, a combination that's been described as "Weezer meets The Specials".
Dan Potthast (guitar/vocals), Ted Moll (drums), Chris Diebold (bass) and Robert Bell (trombone) have remained with MU330 since the band's inception, while trombonist Gerry Lundquist has been a member for over a decade. Though several different frontmen have been featured in the past, Potthast has always acted as the band's principal songwriter and lyricist.

Everyday Christmas
It's like everyday every day's Christmas its like everyday
I think I could tell you I think I gotta tell you
You've set up permanent camp in my brain
She's holding out for someone
But she's holding on to someone
I don't know why it's like it's like everyday every day's Christmas
I spend time thinking about your hair
The way you brush it away from your eyes
I waste my time stealing your stares
I know they're meant for other guys
I think I should tell you how much I think about you
Didn't mean to but you made a mess of me
I'm holding out for someone
Are you holding out for someone?
I need to know
It's like its like everyday every day's
