Pork and Beans

Awesome song. Its now the theme song of me. Its a big "fuck you" to people who want you to be like them.

I'm probably the only person who can relate to this song on a relationship. A week before we broke up, she joined a sorority and I joined a punk band. Comically polar opposites

I think the "I eat my candy with pork and beans" means that people might think he is strange for doing it, but what does he care, he's gonna eat his candy with pork and beans.

This song was orignally written by Weezer as a joke because their producer told them that most of their music wasn't "commercial" enough.

But it also has a vague meaning, I'm going to be who I am, do what I wanna do , and I don't care what you think.

Erm the version I have sounds like this:

They say I need some Rogaine to put in my hair Work it out at the gym to fit my underwear Oakley makes the shades that transform a tool You’d hate for the kids to think that you lost your cool

I’mma do the things that I wanna do I ain’t got a thing to prove to you I’ll eat my candy with the pork and beans Excuse my manners if I make a scene I ain’t gonna wear the clothes that you like I’m finally dandy with the me inside One look in the mirror and I’m tickled pink I don’t give a hoot about what you think

Everyone likes to dance to a happy song (Hey, hey) With a catchy chorus and beat so they can sing along (Hey, hey) Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts Maybe if I work with him I can perfect the art

I’mma do the things that I wanna do I ain’t got a thing to prove to you I’ll eat my candy with the pork and beans Excuse my manners if I make a scene I ain’t gonna wear the clothes that you like I’m finally dandy with the me inside One look in the mirror and I’m tickled pink I don’t give a hoot about what you think

No I don’t care, I don’t care

I’mma do the things that I wanna do I ain’t got a thing to prove to you I’ll eat my candy with the pork and beans Excuse my manners if I make a scene I ain’t gonna wear the clothes that you like I’m finally dandy with the me inside One look in the mirror and I’m tickled pink I don’t give a hoot about what you think

totally different???

The second version is the right one, the first was a prank off the forums

I like it and at the same I kind of don't. it does give me hope that the new CD is going to be better than I thought it was going to be, though.

yeah, the second one is the right lyrics. I hate when assholes don't look at the lyrics and just post lyrics to post lyrics.

lol yeah i think it's time to correct these.. ps love it :D

It's pretty obvious that bing_redboy posted the correct lyrics not erikj. Maybe erikj hasn't even listened to the song. At least it's not like the last sneak peak, Beverly Hills. Hopefully the Red Album is better than Make Believe.

So apparently, Geffen heard their first cut of the album and made them go in for another session because there wasn't enough "commercial material" on the record, and this song was written in response to that. Makes sense to me.
