| Weezer – Pork and Beans Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Initially, I was unimpressed with this song. I thought it was nice and catchy but it just didn't really do it for me and Im a big Weezer fan, have been since Blue. I felt like it was really lacking the personal touch that Ive always enjoyed about Rivers' lyrics. After listening to it more, and paying better attention to what he's saying, as well as looking at it from his perspective, I think its a lot more personal than I originally thought. This song seems like a song of Rivers personal triumph over the self-loathing, frustrated Rivers you hear in Pinkerton songs. "I’m finally dandy with the me inside One look in the mirror and I’m tickled pink" is a big step from The Good Life. All in all, Im happy with this song. The part of the verse where the bass comes in is solid gold. Im excited for the new album. |

Rivers has said stuff about how he likes music to be written strait foward and to the point. I think this song is a perfect example. |

| Weezer – Haunt You Every Day Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
from the official street team website Straint from the band: HAUNT YOU EVERY DAY Rivers: Rick said, write a song like Billy Joel or Elton John, so… Brian: But no pressure! [laughter] Rivers: So, I didn’t really accomplish that at all, but I did write a song on the piano. So that’s about as close as I could come. Brian: I think it’s a beautiful chord progression. It’s deceptively simple too. It sounds a little more complex than it is, and it’s great fun to play live - I wish we would’ve tracked it more, and played it - approached it more how we do now. But I think it came across pretty well. But I think - any regrets, I wish we could re-record that song how we do it right now. Scott: It’s another one of those songs where the less bass notes I play on it, the better it works. I remember switching back and forth from trying to do it on piano, or Rivers playing it on guitar, and then going back and back and back, and it turned out to be just right. Rivers: It’s the first song I wrote entirely on piano. |

| Weezer – We Are All on Drugs Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I got this from the official Weezer steet Team page (www.weezerjonas.com) Strait From the band: WE ARE ALL ON DRUGS Rivers: I was living in an apartment above the Sunset Strip, and every Friday and Saturday night I’d hear people cruising and partying, and hooting and hollering. And I went to sleep one night and I heard those sounds all through the night, in my dreams. I had this dream about a kid on the Metro bus, blasting hip hop into his brain through his headphones. And the music sounded so decadent and overstimulating, and I woke up in the midst of that dream, in a haze, and immediately said to myself, “Man, we’re all on drugs!” And I instantly knew that would be a cool song. Brian: I remember the first time Rivers played it for me, and just felt this, like, ‘can we do this?’ You know, I mean, this is a hit song, without a doubt. Just singing that chorus the first time, when we played these songs acoustically in the office, it was just a riot because it was just so much—it was like I felt like we were doing something illegal by saying that. And there were thoughts like, how are parents going to like this? Or you know, are we going to be banned from kids, you know, listening, whatever, their album collections? I think it’s a great song because it’s not saying anything positive or negative about drugs. It’s one of those ambivalent songs. I’m just glad that my guitar intro got used. [laughs] Pat: Yeah, I had to fight for that, man! You guys had this other thing going on, where you wanted it to be all mellow, when it was so obvious to me that it should be the big rock track. I love that intro. Rivers [to Brian]: Yeah, I loved your intro from the first time you brought it in. On this album you’ve come up with so many great intros and musical interludes. Brian: Well, that’s what great about our music, too, is there’s different ways to interpret it., and I think all of them should be explored, because I actually liked—Rivers had a different version of it that worked equally as well. I think everything should be explored, or else we’re cheating ourselves. Rivers: And also, it’s interesting that we’ve found that sometimes one of the other guys will start singing a line that I came up with, and it sounds a million times better. Like on this song, when Scott sings “never get enough” in the chorus, it’s just, it’s so right, it’s obvious that he has to sing that. Scott: Right on! It’s funny, and I remember you talking about - when you were living in that apartment—it’s like, ‘I always hear these people going, ‘WHOOO! WHOO! All night long, a whole car full of girls are like, ‘WHOO!’’ and that’s exactly what we sing in that song. [laughter] It’s really cool. After the first chorus at these shows, even though nobody knows the song yet, people are so into it. Out of all the new songs, that song seems to hit people the fastest, to me. Pat: Yeah, Kevin and Bean talk about that song all the time, I guess. They’re like, ‘that’s the best title ever!’ |
