(1) Wizzard was Roy Wood’s post- ELO project. Formed in Wood's hometown of Birmingham, Warwickshire in 1972, they made catchy, jazzy glam-rock hit singles like "Angel Fingers" and "See My Baby Jive" with a retro, Phil Spector-style "wall of sound" production. At the same time, they produced decidedly odd, almost avant-garde albums like Wizzard Brew. They remained active until around 1975.
(2) One of them is a 'blackened' heavy metal band from Finland. It enjoyed some success in Finland and Germany though even some fans wondered why they had taken the name of Roy Wood's famous band – the other z was actually added because the band didn't want to be confused with the German band Wizard. The band was founded by Teemu Kautonen as his solo-project in August 1995, and he handled all the instruments on the first demo, Teemu moved the band to Germany in April 1997 adding new local musicians CY and Daniel to the line-up. In August Teemu returned to Finland, but moved back to Germany in January 2001, and CY and Daniel came along again. Also a new guitarist Johnny joined the band.
Last known lineup:
Teemu Kautonen aka Hexenmeister - Vocals, originally also Bass & Guitars
CY aka Grobi - Drums
Daniel - Lead Guitars, Bass
Johnny - Rhythm Guitars

Everyday I Wonder
Wizzard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, when the snowman brings the snow
Oh, well he just might like to know
He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
If you jump into your bed
Quickly cover up your head
Don't you lock the doorsYou know that sweet Santa Claus is on the way
Oh, well I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Oh, when the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas (Christmas)
Oh, when we're skating in the park
If the snow cloud makes it dark
Then your rosy cheeks are gonna light my merry way
Now the frosty paws appear
And they've frozen up my ear
So we'll lie by the fire
'Til the sleet simply knocks 'em all away
Well I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas every day
So let the bells ring out for Christmas
Oh, when the snowman brings the snow (when the snowman brings the snow)
Oh, well he just might like to know (well he just might like to know)
He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
So if Santa brings that sleigh (Santa brings that sleigh)
All along the milky way (along the milky way)I'll sign my name on the rooftop in the snow
Then he may decide to stay
Oh, well I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
So let the bells ring out for Christmas
Under your arms, check it
Oh, well I wish it could be Christmas everyday (Christmas everyday)
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play (oh)
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
Why don't you give your love for Christmas
(When the snowman brings the snow)
(When the snowman brings the snow)
(When the snowman brings the snow)
(When the snowman brings the snow)
(When the snowman brings the snow)

Wizzard's song "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" is a joyful celebration of the holiday season that dreams of it lasting all year round. The song begins with the invocation of the snowman, a symbol of winter, and points out the joy it brings to people's faces. The song then describes the anticipation of Santa Claus coming to town and the excitement of children singing and dancing to the sound of festive music. The refrain "I wish it could be Christmas everyday" captures the sentiment of wanting to extend the holiday's warmth and cheer beyond its traditional length and shows how the holiday can unite even the grumpiest of souls by giving them a smile.
The verse about skating in the park highlights the idea of celebrating Christmas with one's loved ones, finding warmness in companionship despite the cold outside. The songs' bridge brings in the notion of signing one's name on the rooftop to invite Santa Claus to stay a little longer and keep the festivities going. The song ends with a call to share love and give to others for the holiday season.

Let's get ready to enjoy Christmas!
Oh, when the snowman brings the snow
When the snow falls beautifully on the ground,
Oh, well he just might like to know
The snowman might just want to know that he has made someone happy,
He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
His presence has brought great joy to someone,

If you quickly lie down in your bed,
Quickly cover up your head

When we're ice-skating in the park,
If the snow cloud makes it dark
If the snowcloud makes the sky dark,
Then your rosy cheeks are gonna light my merry way
Your happy and rosiness filled face gives me the direction to enjoy the Christmas day,
Now the frosty paws appear
Now the frost is visible on the ground,
And they've frozen up my ear
And it has made my ear freeze,
So we'll lie by the fire
So we will lie by the fire,
'Til the sleet simply knocks 'em all away
Until the sleet wipes away all the frost.
So if Santa brings that sleigh (Santa brings that sleigh)
If Santa brings that iconic sled,
All along the milky way (along the milky way)
Across the cosmic Milky Way,
I'll sign my name on the rooftop in the snow
I will write my name on the snow-covered rooftop,
Then he may decide to stay
And Santa may decide to stay longer.
Under your arms, check it!
Check how happy and warm you feel by embracing yourself with your arms,
Why don't you give your love for Christmas
Why not give your love to your loved ones as the best present,

mi humilde aporte a este hermoso tema de mi adolecencia ...... tahos rock desde argentina
Wizzard - Everyday I Wonder
Everyday I wonder
Ooooh wonder why
How it is I could leave her
But she only makes me cry
Everyday
Now this town, Feels so lonely
Ooooh, Cold and grey
Though you say, I'm your only
Your sweet face fades away
Everyday
Her heaven was so near
Oh why why why
Did she go and give her love away
Now the rain turns into tears
I'll cry, cry, cry
Though I know she'll be on her way
Still so young
She'll come wander
Ooooh so they say
Though I try
How she hurts me
Ooooh everyday, everyday
[Interlude]
Her heaven was so near
Oh why why why
Did she go and give her love away
Now the rain turns into tears
I'll cry, cry, cry
Though I know she'll be on her way
Still so young
She'll come wander
Ooooh so they say
Though I try
How she hurts me
Ooooh everyday, everyday
everyday
everyday

A kinda cross between Del Shannon's "Runaway" and "Hats Off To Larry", Roy Wood is one of the UK's unsung musical geniuses, he deserves a lot more credit than Jeff Lynne as Wood is the more creative songwriter of the two. Jeff Lynne always stayed in his own comfort zone when writing songs, Roy Wood on the other hand was experimental and threw in everything including the kitchen sink into his song writing. Roy Wood is a brilliant multi-instrumentalist too, if you can pluck it, bash it or blow it, Woody can play it.
@wroot1
It's a total rip-off, let's face it, especially that intro
@benedictus88able
Roy Wood is the Sparks of England...a great musician poorly recognized - dwarfs Jeff Lynne
