See, Virginia? Sometimes Christmas wishes do come true. As you may recall, Weezer front-bro Rivers Cuomo suggested earlier this week that the band had recorded new renditions of yuletide classics for iPhone gaming app Tap Tap Revenge. Turns out he wasn't just elfing around: today Tap Tap producers Tapulous unveiled Christmas With Weezer, a new app all set to stuff e-stockings this holiday season.

Rejoice in hearing Rivers and the gang rollick through perennial favorites "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "Silent Night", "O Holy Night", "The First Noel", "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", and "O Come, All Ye Faithful" as you compete to see how fast you can come down with carpal tunnel syndrome while pecking away at your iPhone screen.

All six carols were recorded specifically for this game, though Weezer fans in a non-festive mood will be pleased to know Christmas With Weezer also includes Red Album singles "Pork and Beans" and "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn)" as bonus tap-alongs.

Or, for the more discotheque-oriented iPhone user in your life, it's Tap Tap Dance, another new app from Tapulous that beefs up the bpms. Jams from Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx, Moby, the Chemical Brothers, and Digitalism help make up the tracklist, along with an epic Soulwax remix of Justice that serves as a final level, complete with custom visuals inspired by the ending of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Ahhh, so that's what the creepy black monolith thing was supposed to be: an iPhone prototype.

Tap Tap Dance tracklist:

Basement Jaxx: "Where's Your Head At"
The Chemical Brothers: "Midnight Madness (Edit)"
Daft Punk: "Technologic"
Digitalism: "Zdarlight"
