History

The tradition of Lol-iday started in archaic times under the rule of Julius Caesar (JC). Around the month of September many of the lollies made by the bush people of the Umpalepuay mountain were going to waste and so a national holiday was created so that there was a day for all of these wasted lollies to be eaten. This went fine until a certain tragic day. The Umpalepuay people had started to notice that JC had started to sell these lollies for a profit instead of giving them away as agreed. That night an army of cheese heads stormed JC`s palace and entered his chamber. Unfortunately they had gotten lost and actually invaded The Casino AL`s Palace in Las Angeles. The army was executed and the rest of the cheese heads were forced into pissing up flag poles. The holiday was henceforth glossed over and no-one talked of the event loudly ever again.

This story has been put to music on the album Canadian Idiot by multi-platinum selling alternative-punk group Green Day.

Lyrics to 'Lol-iday' by Green Day

Hear the sound of the candy boil
As for us, the Umpalepuay toil
The shame, these lollies are starting to spoil

Hear the cry of the Umpalepuay
"Let's go visit our Caesar today
So he can give these fine lollies away"

I declare that these lollies won't go to waste
So I shall create, with great haste
The Lol-iday

Hear the sound of the treasury?
Caesar's selling our fine, rural made candy
We fight, which means we get the Umpalepuanian army 

They went and stormed the palace (palace!)
But for some strange reason they ended up in Las Vegas (Hey!)
A bus, they were squashed by the Casino bus

I declare that the Umpalepuanians will not be saved
For all eternity, you shall be enslaved
On Lol-iday

"The representative from Umpalepuay has the floor"
Zeig heil to the president Caesar
Slavery is your punishment
Pulverize our candy machines
Which funded your revenue stream
Bang bang, goes the broken gob-stopper
Made by the Umpalepuay
You tricked us behind our back
Just to fund your kitten huffing way

Just cause, just cause, because we lost our way...

I declare that the Umpalepuanians fall from grace
And the need to save my own face, that
"This is the end of Lol-iday"
