So, Weezer debuted two new songs last weekend…
They’re called “I’m Your Daddy” and “The Girl Got Hot” and let’s just say their names aren’t the only things laughable about them. Catchy? Sure. Lyrically? Um. Good? No comment. Excuse me while I go blast my ear with “Beverly Hills” trying to forget what I just heard… But don’t let us ruin it for you, discover for yourself below (via Pitchfork)…
“I’m Your Daddy”
“The Girl Got Hot”
weezer shouldn’t be anything other than what rivers and the boys want them to be. pinkerton is in my top 5 albums of all time but you can’t write el scorcho and the good life a million times.
Everyone do yourself a favor. Listen to Blue and Pinkerton. Then listen to Ozma. They are what weezer should have been after pinkerton. I recommend the album Rock and Roll Part Three.
well now that i got to listen to these songs i’m just gonna say you’re all just haters. i love weezer even when they’re songs aren’t so hot. i listened to the red album twice while i was at work too and was singing at my desk the whole time.
Andy, you are crazy. Go “… Blue …” or go home!
why does everyone hate on the red album? that album was far better than make believe. i can’t watch the video’s right now so i will have to judge the songs later but i would have to assume these songs are meant to be taken as jokes anyways since pat is playing guitar.
“besides that weezer is officialy gayer than bravo.”
Your opinion is only stronger and more relevant with each sentence, peaking with this one.
I’m off to go listen to Pinkerton and pretend Weezer broke up in 1996. Oh well!
pork and beans was a shit show at best. but after previewing these two disasters, im not sure what to think. besides that weezer is officialy gayer than bravo.
those two songs are the worst. ever.
“I’m Your Daddy” is a traditionally fun pop song. Oh no! It’s not angsty and cynical. So sue ‘em. The other song is meh at best. And Andy, this statement is not good: “Damn. After they made a step in the right direction with the red album too…”
What direction was good there? “Pork & Beans” is really the only saving grace on that album.
They used to be slightly cheesy. Now they just try and sing about being losers who go to parties all the time. Its this whole “woe is me” shtick that makes for crappy lyrics and songs you would expect to hear from Simple Plan or other shitty teeny bop rock bands.
Weezer used to make great songs like Only in Dreams.. Now it is like they are trying to get back at all those high school bullies by trying to make our collective ears bleed.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels they’ve jumped the share. Have they always been cheesy? Sure. But it’s like they aren’t even trying these days.
Weezer is turning into a pop rock band full of cheese. I cringe whenever I hear their latest stuff on the radio.
Damn. After they made a step in the right direction with the red album too…
