The new tune is a Christmas rock banger, the likes of which are rarely heard nowadays.

While there is no notable compositional or lyrically similarity between “Take Me Home” and “Christmas Wrapping,” the new song has much the same loose, spry and irreverently romantic spirit about it, and some fans of Christmas music were quick to sense Rodrigo’s song being in the spiritual lineage of the Waitresses’, if nothing else. Butler stepped up to say he was happy to pass on the torch, and in fact, had done so long before anyone in the general public was aware of the track.

“The vibe is there, but no plagiarism — and this is from the guy who wrote ‘CW.’ LOVE O.R., too. Happy holidays.” It may be amusing to some to learn that Butler, 77, had not heard of Rodrigo before getting her note, and, once apprised of who it was, remained in disbelief that it really came from her.

Butler’s original Facebook message: BACKSTORY: About two months ago, I received a weird email from someone claiming to be “Olivia Rodrigo”. It was filled w/ Waitresses gush, and just had to be fake.

Said she’d written a Christmas song, and invited me to hear it. I didn’t know who OR was, so I did a deep dig.

So, I wrote back: “Um… Er… Well. If you really are you, thanks for contacting me.
