Weezer have teamed with the makers of Tap Tap Revenge for a new, Christmas-inspired game for the iPhone. The band have recorded new versions of six classic holiday songs for the game, which “takes full advantage of the innovative Multi-Touch capabilities and accelerometer as players tap and shake their phones.” Get your thumbs ready for Weezerfied versions of “We Wish You A Merry Christmas,” “Silent Night,” “O Holy Night,” “First Noel,” “Hark The Herald Angels Sing,” “O Come, All Ye Faithful” and two unspecified bonus tracks. “I agreed to do these special recordings for the game because I am a fan of each of the songs. The melody and vocal lines are incredible and it was fun to sing them,” said Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo. The Christmas recordings will be exclusive to the game and won’t be available anywhere else. “I love that our band is the first to actually record songs specifically for an app and Tap Tap Revenge seemed like the perfect one,” added drummer Pat Wilson. Christmas With Weezer will be available for $4.99 via the Apple App Store within the next few days.
