0:00:00let me get up my notes here you have
0:00:02notes what yeah so I actually took notes
0:00:05for this one the top four worst Weezer
0:00:09singles and the reason why I decided to
0:00:13go at this I was a Weezer fan for most
0:00:17of my teenage years from roughly age
0:00:22what 12 yeah when it wouldn't bloom when
0:00:25they blew up and came out I was 12 so
0:00:28roughly from that point through you know
0:00:31most of college and then I kind of fell
0:00:34out a Weezer for a while because their
0:00:36albums I think they took a turn that was
0:00:38not aligned with good so yeah I didn't I
0:00:44didn't care for the much for a while and
0:00:46then they actually came out with what I
0:00:47consider a pretty good album last year
0:00:49after a string of other albums they they
0:00:54came out with a good one wants to hear
0:00:55and I like it a lot so I kind of got
0:00:57back into them and one thing I always
0:01:00thought about Weezer as as a Weezer nerd
0:01:02and we might want to mention that this
0:01:04is kind of how we met I was gonna say I
0:01:05was waiting for an in gonna I was gonna
0:01:07say that Weezer is special to both of us
0:01:09because we kind of met over a
0:01:11conversation about Weezer
0:01:13and it brought us together and it got me
0:01:17into Markos room and he burned a black
0:01:21black CDR yeah of all of his Weezer
0:01:25music and so we started talking about
0:01:27first it the icebreaker was I had an
0:01:30accent in the middle of nowhere
0:01:31Pennsylvania where we went to school and
0:01:33a New Yorker a New York accent so he was
0:01:36intrigued and mystified and then we
0:01:40started talking Weezer so it brought us
0:01:43together and I still have that disc to
0:01:44this day of course well it's like our
0:01:46very first little love note so the
0:01:49problem that we xur has always had for
0:01:51me was that they they always would
0:01:54release what I consider to be the worst
0:01:57song on the album or close to it as the
0:02:01radio single and especially like the the
0:02:03first single they would release off of
0:02:05many of their albums was just some
0:02:07terrible song and I'd be enough of a
0:02:10nerd that I would for many of the
0:02:12album's as they
0:02:13would come out like before they were out
0:02:15I would be I would be getting them off
0:02:16the internet you know getting advanced
0:02:18copies are here in previews so I would
0:02:20already know most of the songs in the
0:02:21album or all them both time they came
0:02:23out and then when I would hear what they
0:02:25picked is the single I'd be like what
0:02:26why that's the worst song that someone I
0:02:28skip every time why why would you do
0:02:30that it's so troll it's it's the
0:02:34original trolling it might be I don't
0:02:36know so that's that's certainly the best
0:02:38explanation well hey mr. deejay you
0:02:39should start playing one of our set one
0:02:41of the songs yes so just get him I'm
0:02:43gonna go in chronological order here I
0:02:44think what what gives Huizar the ability
0:02:47to have a top four worst Weezer singles
0:02:50episode made about them is just they
0:02:52have so many albums I think I have
0:02:54something like eight or nine albums here
0:02:56and really I mean I mean the singles are
0:02:59all rough so we'll start out with the
0:03:01blue album the blue album was a very
0:03:04good overall album this was the one that
0:03:06most people have heard and the but come
0:03:11on who you is was not the single right
0:03:14Buddy Holly you mean ya know well it was
0:03:16the second single see and it wasn't the
0:03:18first thing go right and many of these
0:03:20albums have pretty good songs or great
0:03:23songs as their second or third singles
0:03:24but so they started out with undone the
0:03:28sweater song
0:03:31[Music]
0:03:35and this is under the sweater song is
0:03:39not a bad song I like it in the context
0:03:42of the album but if it's the first thing
0:03:44you hear
0:03:52I mean I guess it made sense like in the
0:03:55context of the 90s like it this is this
0:03:58was this was 1994 later bro hey man how
0:04:03you do ya know this you know it doped
0:04:06take it easy pal this kind of like
0:04:09grungy I don't care about anything was
0:04:11still parked very much part of like the
0:04:13mainstream grunge culture it was a
0:04:15little late for a like Nirvana everybody
0:04:16but this was still there as like the
0:04:19mainstream like this is what people want
0:04:21was like just not caring being real
0:04:23laid-back everything sucks like that was
0:04:26that was grunge culture in the early 90s
0:04:27so I think that this was not a great
0:04:31song to open up Weezer to everybody to
0:04:33but it wasn't a bad song like III would
0:04:36classify undone the sweater song as
0:04:38decent I don't know if I would put it
0:04:40although I don't think I would put it on
0:04:42my list as the worst for songs I think
0:04:45they have far worse singles yeah girls
0:04:49but it in terms of singles they've had
0:04:52better ones than this one so but I don't
0:04:56think it makes the the four or list yet
0:04:58right and then there was Buddy Holly was
0:05:00the second single and I think that was
0:05:01great I think that might have been maybe
0:05:03their best single ever
0:05:05[Music]
0:05:10yeah what do you mean I mean come on
0:05:13that I mean everyone knows that's the
0:05:15thought because everyone knows exactly
0:05:16it was even on the windows 95 plus pack
0:05:18cd-rom well alright anyway so what's the
0:05:21next song alright so after the blue
0:05:23album that they took a couple years off
0:05:25and then Pinkerton came out and I don't
0:05:27wanna get too much into the details of
0:05:29like their personal histories and
0:05:30everything because it doesn't matter
0:05:31Pinkerton was looking back on it it's
0:05:34it's really a fan favorite the fans of
0:05:36Weezer loved Pinkerton now back then it
0:05:40was really a flop it was a massive
0:05:42commercial flop and I I can't help but
0:05:45wonder how much of that is because of
0:05:49their first single that they chose to
0:05:50release off of this which I consider
0:05:53easily the worst song on the on the
0:05:55album and that is El Scorcho I mean it
0:06:00starts with a gargle
0:06:03[Music]
0:06:09it's so bad it's really bad I mean it's
0:06:12not even music really offensive also
0:06:14yeah
0:06:16[Music]
0:06:22every time this is awful like in so many
0:06:25ways the the lyrics are awful the music
0:06:28is awful
0:06:29the production is awful the singing is
0:06:31awful everything about it is awful and
0:06:37can you imagine turning on a radio and
0:06:40like after hearing but it's like after
0:06:45you know the blue album was kind of like
0:06:47it was like a like a modern Beach Boys
0:06:49record almost it was very like kind of
0:06:50happy surf rock for the most part you
0:06:53know even you know at least musically
0:06:54and then so they had this massive hit
0:06:58blue album debut and then two years
0:07:00later the first thing you hear on the
0:07:02radio from them is that I think El
0:07:09Scorcho might be on the list for the top
0:07:11four worst top four worse yeah I think
0:07:12it's my number one really because it's
0:07:15we'll go through the rest and we'll see
0:07:17but I think what makes it probably my
0:07:20number one is that this was before we
0:07:22knew that we sure could make terrible
0:07:24albums so like we we had the greatest
0:07:26vacations from blue and Pinkerton by
0:07:29modern by modern evaluation is actually
0:07:32a good album but to have this come out I
0:07:36think this I think
0:07:37else work show being released as the
0:07:38first single was critical to the failure
0:07:43of Pinkerton I think it contributed
0:07:45heavily to the failure of Pinkerton and
0:07:47that contributed heavily to the Weezer
0:07:50we have the reason we got from from then
0:07:53for the next like ten years of making
0:07:55really shallow quick production albums
0:07:58because I think I think you know Rivers
0:08:00is a complicated person the lead singer
0:08:02and songwriter he's a complicated person
0:08:04and he took the failure of Pinkerton
0:08:07pretty hard by most accounts and because
0:08:09he like he thought he was getting really
0:08:11personal on it and then then you know it
0:08:14failed commercially and so he kind of
0:08:16withdrew for a long time after that so I
0:08:18would put all that on El Scorcho well
0:08:20what was the next single on El Scorcho
0:08:22well so that's every non Pinkerton
0:08:24ignorance so after El Scorcho was a
0:08:27really good song it was the good life
0:08:37oh I love this song right it's catchy
0:08:40it's upbeat it sounds the way you'd
0:08:42expect Weezer to sound after hearing the
0:08:44Blue Album like I would call this one of
0:08:47their best single releases ever but it
0:08:49wasn't the first release el Scorcho and
0:08:51this wasn't until I don't know a month
0:08:53or two later well let's get to some of
0:08:55the worst yeah and then oh and also I
0:08:57should point out after this is pink
0:08:59triangle that was the third single which
0:09:01is another great song this is a good
0:09:02song to you
0:09:11if they would have made the good life
0:09:13the first single and Pinkerton the
0:09:15second and just never really tusks work
0:09:17Joe that would have been so much better
0:09:19than what actually happened I think I
0:09:21think the album would have done way
0:09:22better I think they would have been
0:09:24rivers would have been more encouraged
0:09:26to keep writing songs that way by
0:09:28putting more emotion and instead else
0:09:30cork sure ruined the entire universe and
0:09:33then they also gored showed it oh my god
0:09:37my number one so then then they took
0:09:42because of the discouragement from this
0:09:43he was drew for a few years and he wrote
0:09:46it he brought some pretty good songs in
0:09:48in the meantime between that and the
0:09:49next album and then he threw them all
0:09:51away like a couple months before the
0:09:54album was to be released rewrote a whole
0:09:56new album basically from nothing and
0:09:59seemed to put very little into it and
0:10:01that became the green album and and
0:10:03that's where I like the green album to
0:10:04me it's like a collection of like almost
0:10:07like two minute demos like it's a very
0:10:08short album they I think there were a
0:10:10couple good songs on there that would
0:10:13have been better debut singles than what
0:10:17we got which was hash pipe
0:10:20[Music]
0:10:22I mean this
0:10:28[Music]
0:10:34don't they say like wipe in the song
0:10:39I thought it was at wife and then I
0:10:42don't think it's wipe I mean maybe you
0:10:44could be like ash something that makes a
0:10:46lot more sense I'm gonna lick this
0:10:47sucker up I hold I think this is wipe
0:10:52this site says it's wide I don't think
0:10:56that's correct I got my app wide that's
0:10:58awful
0:10:59what what what is that so I'm not a
0:11:03lyrics person but I don't think that
0:11:05makes a lot of sense either I got my
0:11:07eyes wide eyes wide I got my eyes wide
0:11:12you got go back and play that that
0:11:14doesn't sound like eyes wide eyes whoa I
0:11:19hear it now I guess I all these years I
0:11:23thought it was a boy and I was wondering
0:11:25how they could not bleep it uh well it
0:11:27cuz maybe that's why I said I thought it
0:11:29was ash white yeah that that is the most
0:11:32plausible eyes wide cuz you would wipe
0:11:34your ash from your hash pipe would you I
0:11:36don't know enough about pot to know well
0:11:38you would want to you know or maybe ash
0:11:41white I don't really know if that's a
0:11:43thing I don't know anyway so hash pipe
0:11:49and the funny thing is hash pipe
0:11:51actually did really well commercially so
0:11:54it served the purpose I still think it's
0:11:56one of the worst songs on the album I
0:11:58like El Scorcho better than hash pipe
0:12:00yeah of course there's kind of a deeper
0:12:02I mean because the problem with the
0:12:03green album is like all the songs are
0:12:04just completely forgettable I think I
0:12:06like El Scorcho because it's really
0:12:07funny and it's fun to sing it stupid
0:12:10lyrics oh it's so bad so alright so then
0:12:13after hash pipe they released island in
0:12:15the Sun
0:12:20see they're so good at picking the
0:12:22second single on the album so bad at
0:12:24picking the first so all seconds the
0:12:27'single is good yeah all first singles
0:12:29bad mostly yeah like in my list here I
0:12:31that's mostly the case so then so this
0:12:33is a pretty decent song and then the
0:12:35third one they released was photograph
0:12:36and I don't know how much it matters
0:12:37like how what singly released third I
0:12:40think at that point the album's fade is
0:12:41pretty much decided
0:12:43[Music]
0:12:46I think photograph is a very typical
0:12:48song on this album which is like a short
0:12:50fluffy song that's completely
0:12:52forgettable I like it yeah it's not bad
0:12:54it's just completely forgettable it's
0:12:56better than hash pipe but I don't know
0:12:58so maladroit was it was one of those
0:13:01albums where like they released kind of
0:13:04on the internet ahead of time and so and
0:13:06I was following this very closely at the
0:13:07time so this was pretty good I would say
0:13:09malodor it was one of their better
0:13:11releases during their like medium median
0:13:15years they're like it was it was a
0:13:17pretty good album it wasn't great it
0:13:19didn't set the world on fire there
0:13:20weren't a ton of amazing song tonight
0:13:22but it was pretty good overall however
0:13:24the song they chose to be the first
0:13:26single was dope knows
0:13:32[Music]
0:13:39I ranked it as good not great good it's
0:13:44a keeper yeah it's a keeper and then the
0:13:46second single was keep fishing which i
0:13:48think is a much better song
0:13:51[Music]
0:13:56I would say keep fishin is actually a
0:13:59great song for that for them and they
0:14:02should have made this the first single
0:14:03but in this case in the case of
0:14:05maladroit dope nose wasn't that bad
0:14:07keep fishin I think is better but oh
0:14:09well alright so then after maladroit
0:14:12they went to make-believe and
0:14:15make-believe has all the winners on here
0:14:19this this is something this one these
0:14:21are my favorite this is something so my
0:14:23least favorite favorites make-believe
0:14:25starts with Beverly Hills
0:14:28[Music]
0:14:32I love that his rapping doesn't even
0:14:37rhyme no it's not even good rapping but
0:14:39maybe that's why it's really funny and
0:14:42[Music]
0:14:52this was another song where it
0:14:54commercially it was a success I think
0:14:56but it's so bad this might be my
0:15:00favorite best worst single it's so bad I
0:15:04know because I like the wrapping is so
0:15:06bad right alright so after this they the
0:15:10second single was we are all on drugs
0:15:14[Music]
0:15:18I mean this is this is a really really
0:15:25terrible song they wanted people to play
0:15:27this on the radio there's really not
0:15:29much you can say about it except for
0:15:30like just your mouth of Gabe with aw
0:15:36[Music]
0:15:41okay this one's my number one worst
0:15:44number we are all on drugs yep this is
0:15:47my number one number one we are all on
0:15:49drugs
0:15:50number two Beverly Hills and really I'm
0:15:54still deciding el Scorcho because I just
0:15:56find that so funny okay
0:15:59but it's up there they also again I
0:16:01don't know how much the third and fourth
0:16:02singles matter but they also released
0:16:04perfect situation which again this is
0:16:08like this is like a green album song
0:16:09there's not much content it's it's a
0:16:13pretty shallow song it has rivers going
0:16:14whoa a lot like that's like the chorus
0:16:17is rivers going whoa like it there's no
0:16:21words right there's not much again
0:16:22there's not much content here
0:16:34[Music]
0:16:36and again this was on the radio yeah
0:16:39this was a third single add this if at
0:16:40least is a little more catchy I mean
0:16:42there it's at least musical you know
0:16:44they like it's not a great song I don't
0:16:47think they should have released that as
0:16:48a single but I mean it's better than the
0:16:50first two right and then this is such a
0:16:53pity was that was the last one again
0:16:55fourth single how much does it matter
0:16:56but this again is also not a good song
0:17:03but not a terrible stuff but now
0:17:05compared to the rest of the album are
0:17:06these songs equal and the rest of the
0:17:09album or is the rest of the album better
0:17:18oh this is pretty bad yeah this is
0:17:21pretty bro this is really bad yeah I
0:17:23mean for me I think perfect situation
0:17:24with the chorus of woe is the most
0:17:28accurate representation of this album
0:17:29because it's an album of no content like
0:17:31it's like they made an album with
0:17:33nothing to say and so that's why rivers
0:17:36just going whoa for so many of the songs
0:17:38like that's in a lot of the songs on
0:17:40this it's like you need to fill time
0:17:42yeah I didn't like this album at all
0:17:44really I thought this was the album that
0:17:46made me stop buying Weezer albums for
0:17:47like ten years alright so next up is the
0:17:50red album this was 2008 this album
0:17:53begins the first single here is a song
0:17:56entitled the greatest man that ever
0:17:59lived in parentheses variations on a
0:18:02shaker him so it's a pretty long awkward
0:18:06title that does not make me want to play
0:18:08it at all so this song begins in I think
0:18:13the least compelling way for what's
0:18:16supposed to be a radio single
0:18:30so the point of a single is I think to
0:18:32be catchy to to get in people's head and
0:18:36to make them want to hear the rest of
0:18:37the album so if you heard this like
0:18:41would you even pay attention would you
0:18:42even like would you know if you're on a
0:18:44stream you should probably skip it if
0:18:45you're in the radio you probably change
0:18:46the station or zone out like
0:18:48[Music]
0:18:53now you think you're getting pulled over
0:18:55if you're listening to it in the car
0:18:56again there's no this isn't even musical
0:19:02[Music]
0:19:08maybe this is my number one it's really
0:19:11bad
0:19:17how is this a variation on a hymn I
0:19:19don't know the back story but I don't
0:19:22think I want some of the back story
0:19:23sounds like he's in pain I think he's
0:19:26always in pain what is this okay this is
0:19:35my worst one this is number one I think
0:19:36it maybe not my number one well I
0:19:38thought I'll score show with my number
0:19:39one but this is no this is my number one
0:19:41if there's drums like that like little
0:19:44drummer boy drums
0:19:45number one out for me it is just who can
0:19:49you imagine you can you read back that
0:19:51tremendous title well with a greatest
0:19:53man that ever lived and then in
0:19:55parentheses variations on a shaker him
0:19:57I'm just making a big scribble I bet he
0:20:00and I scribbled next to it just the red
0:20:02album I mean this that's my number I I'm
0:20:05stunned at how incredibly inappropriate
0:20:09this song is to be released as the first
0:20:11single of an album
0:20:14[Music]
0:20:16[Applause]
0:20:19oh stop playing it I'm kind of want to
0:20:22hear the rest of it which maybe it's
0:20:23serving its purpose I want to know how
0:20:24bad it gets I mean I think I've heard
0:20:26how bad it gets but it keeps changing
0:20:28there's all these different variations
0:20:30on different songs in the same there's a
0:20:33lot of variations on this hymn
0:20:40now what are we listening to this is
0:20:42still the same trick oh my god
0:20:44too many variations
0:20:52nope this is number one there's no
0:20:54contest
0:21:02God is there more there's still another
0:21:05two minutes I think it's a six minute
0:21:08long song pretty long for a radio single
0:21:09this is their first single from this
0:21:11album yes this is blowing my mind this
0:21:15is a stage in each of us is a play stop
0:21:22it stop the music I thought the only
0:21:24fair that we have to hear the whole
0:21:25thing if we're declaring it our number
0:21:26one I think we have to hear the whole
0:21:27song I mean but are people really gonna
0:21:30be able to listen to us listening to the
0:21:31whole song and complaining about it
0:21:33somebody has to but they can't hear the
0:21:35song themselves not the whole thing I'll
0:21:37put in clips if you don't like it if you
0:21:42don't like it you can shut it this is
0:21:44terrible
0:21:48[Music]
0:21:51what
0:21:56oh my god that's all I can say it's
0:21:59still going
0:22:04we have to make michaelis no those no no
0:22:07one should have to listen to this
0:22:10[Music]
0:22:14oh my god
0:22:18it's finally over that was horrendous
0:22:21i I'm shocked at how bad that song is oh
0:22:28my god Ida there's just so much
0:22:35happening there Wow there were so much
0:22:38happening that was supposed to be sick I
0:22:42mean yeah I understand if it's like a
0:22:44song kind of like shoved in the album
0:22:46because they wanted to be like a little
0:22:47artsy or you know throw in something
0:22:50different or try something new but not a
0:22:52single no no no no that's exactly my
0:22:55point like who picks these things you
0:22:56know what I mean like do the producers
0:22:58pick these things or do they pick them
0:22:59it seems I get some kind of like
0:23:01collaboration between the record label
0:23:02in the band I mean you know Weezer has
0:23:04enough clout that I think they can
0:23:05pretty much can dictate them I don't
0:23:07know it's from their record singles but
0:23:10it's I mean this is a it's the best
0:23:13example I think of like an album that
0:23:14like well I think it well and maybe it
0:23:17doesn't have better song so the same the
0:23:18second here's the second thing we called
0:23:20dreamin I'm bored well after the first
0:23:27one of me I'm bored already
0:23:31[Music]
0:23:41this is really rough there's not enough
0:23:44slots in top four for all the worst
0:23:46songs
0:23:48[Music]
0:23:50this whole album just needs to be set on
0:23:52fire yeah else is on here well the next
0:23:55single was pork and beans
0:23:58[Music]
0:24:08I like that it has got a like back to
0:24:11their quirky weird roots it's like the
0:24:13modern sweater song and this was
0:24:15actually a hit
0:24:17[Music]
0:24:24oh I know this song yeah you've heard
0:24:26this before yeah this isn't as bad as I
0:24:29remember this this is actually in the
0:24:31list all right so this is actually a
0:24:32decent song I'll put that that is decent
0:24:34then they had a fourth single called
0:24:37troublemaker I'm bored I'm doodling it's
0:24:46not as bad as the other ones I wouldn't
0:24:48put it on the list alright so now we go
0:24:51to rata tube
0:24:53which I'm not even sure I've heard this
0:24:55album all the way through can we really
0:24:57talk about it then well let's hear the
0:24:59single this has what might be the second
0:25:03worst title of the single which is
0:25:06called in parentheses if you're
0:25:09wondering if I want you to and
0:25:11parentheses I want you to know starts
0:25:14with the parentheses yeah and it's
0:25:17called if you're wondering if I want you
0:25:18to I want you to which is weird really
0:25:21creepy and probably should not be a
0:25:24message that we are telling people so
0:25:26here's what that song sounds like
0:25:30[Music]
0:25:38I don't read it I don't hate I don't
0:25:40hate it yeah it's not bad I kind of want
0:25:43to like jump and snap that's getting
0:25:56worse hmm yeah it's I wouldn't say this
0:25:59is an awful song it's not a good song
0:26:00but it's not a bad song so then the
0:26:03second song the second single off this
0:26:05within almost as bad title I'm your
0:26:08daddy
0:26:09[Music]
0:26:15I like this one too yeah this is
0:26:18actually a decent one I'll put the
0:26:19Senators decent what else we got
0:26:22this early the next album is Hurley
0:26:25which actually has the guy from lost the
0:26:27character Hurley on the cover so the
0:26:29first single off Hurley is memories
0:26:33[Music]
0:26:38well they're just really into lost I
0:26:40don't know maybe or maybe there is this
0:26:43album is about lost I think I think
0:26:45Hurley was the best part of lost you
0:26:46talk about lost some time no we have to
0:26:50re-watch it that would be unbearable I
0:26:51think yeah I don't think I could we
0:26:53watch it I can tree watch the first two
0:26:54seasons maybe until they find the others
0:26:56yeah even after they find the others
0:26:59until things start getting weird in time
0:27:00shifty well yeah that was yeah I think
0:27:02the hatch and everything that was good
0:27:04yeah I think the others were season 3
0:27:06maybe and then the time shift II wasn't
0:27:09until like what four or five I just got
0:27:11so bad yeah
0:27:16[Music]
0:27:20again don't hate it this is completely
0:27:23forgettable it's not bad but it's you
0:27:26know there's nothing really grabbing me
0:27:27I'm dancing it doesn't make the list
0:27:32you're not awful enough all right and
0:27:34then next is hang on
0:27:43yeah all right not bad yeah not in the
0:27:45list nope so it seems like they're
0:27:47getting better over time
0:27:48at choosing their singles so R attitude
0:27:51and Hurley both had decent singles yeah
0:27:54next all right so next was the most
0:27:57recent album everything will be all
0:27:59right in the end which i think is a very
0:28:00good album for them I like it a lot
0:28:02I like the art you have the big monster
0:28:05thing in the mountain mountains - pretty
0:28:06cool yeah so and this again I think this
0:28:08is a pretty good album like overall I
0:28:10think this is the best album they've
0:28:11made in years and I like it a lot and
0:28:14it's gotten me back into them so let me
0:28:17see the singles on this were back to the
0:28:21shack which is get you back get you back
0:28:24to the Weezer Shack yeah that was the
0:28:26worst that was a horrible joke cut that
0:28:29out
0:28:37[Music]
0:28:39[Applause]
0:28:41I like this song I don't think it's
0:28:43great but it's decent
0:28:45it's Rocking see now you like Weezer and
0:28:49I like Weezer but they're pretty lyrical
0:28:51and I'm surprised you like them usually
0:28:54you like much more musical than lyrical
0:28:57people like I don't really care that
0:28:59much about their lyrics but they know
0:29:01how to make catchy music also and that's
0:29:03what I think that's why I think they're
0:29:05so popular and they were so popular you
0:29:07know for so long because they do know
0:29:09how to make catchy songs even when
0:29:10they're bad they're often catchy like
0:29:13this is this is a decent song this is
0:29:15again I don't think this is a bad choice
0:29:16I think that's decent not amazing well
0:29:19cuz it seems like that the lyrics and
0:29:21every in the music it's much deeper it's
0:29:23more personal to rivers like he's
0:29:24actually writing stuff again well he's
0:29:27not writing like his throw away garbage
0:29:29songs right and I think lyrically this
0:29:31song holds up pretty well to that yeah
0:29:34tells a nice little story it's all about
0:29:35like how much cheese is gonna do what he
0:29:36wants and doesn't care anymore right
0:29:38yeah it's about which is great because
0:29:42that's kind of like the coming home of
0:29:44this album and being good yeah exactly
0:29:47exactly
0:29:49alright so second single was Cleopatra
0:29:52[Music]
0:29:56I like the way it starts we've heard
0:30:01this album a couple times around the
0:30:02house now you can tell me no more
0:30:06[Music]
0:30:07[Applause]
0:30:11I like it it's building it's good it's
0:30:14too good for our list yeah this is a
0:30:16good song I still don't think that shows
0:30:18the best singles but this is I can't
0:30:21complain about these choices really like
0:30:22they're not that they're not bad they're
0:30:23decent choices yeah it shouldn't be a
0:30:26single yeah especially that like it's
0:30:28the second single so that the second
0:30:30single I think is pretty important to
0:30:31kind of like like it's it's supposed to
0:30:34hook anyone who didn't get hooked by the
0:30:35first single I think see it's you know
0:30:37alright the second single gives you a
0:30:39reason to buy the album I feel like the
0:30:41first single gives you a reason to buy
0:30:43the single the second single gives you
0:30:45more of a reason to buy the album and
0:30:47then the third single if that one's with
0:30:49clinch or two and you have three good
0:30:50songs then you're gonna buy the whole
0:30:52album as opposed to just the three songs
0:30:53right alright so the third single off
0:30:56this was da Vinci which I think might be
0:30:57my favorite song on the album yeah too
0:31:07good for the list yeah this I would say
0:31:09this is a very good choice and maybe
0:31:11should have been the first single on
0:31:13this album maybe he was the pickup I
0:31:15could feel it coming
0:31:16feel the wave
0:31:19[Music]
0:31:21[Applause]
0:31:28[Music]
0:31:33yeah I like this see this sounds like
0:31:35classic Weezer right it does this sell
0:31:38albums good yeah this is this this is a
0:31:40solid revival like I really did not like
0:31:42where they went for the last couple and
0:31:44then this I think was a solid revival of
0:31:46like kind of getting back on track okay
0:31:49let's go to the next album all right
0:31:51this is it that's it well there's no
0:31:52more singles go away
0:32:03yeah it's not right song for a single
0:32:05it's a good song overall but they're
0:32:07getting better yeah
0:32:08alright so that's it now that's all that
0:32:11that's that's all they're official
0:32:12albums I'm not gonna count like singles
0:32:14and compilation that everything that's
0:32:15okay so we're going back here my number
0:32:18one is the gentleman the variations on
0:32:22shit the greatest man that ever lived
0:32:24shake your hand that is also my number
0:32:30one it is so so bad Alan just so weird
0:32:34it's like weird as a single like okay if
0:32:36you like it as a song awesome but as a
0:32:38single on the radio that is just if you
0:32:42don't like it it's what's a what's a
0:32:46nice radio word for ballsy I wouldn't
0:32:49even say it's ballsy I would say it's
0:32:51dumb like to put that as your radio
0:32:53single because it doesn't really
0:32:55represent the album very well and it's a
0:32:58terrible song and it's a terrible radio
0:32:59single like it it is I can't imagine
0:33:02anybody any program director or anybody
0:33:06programming a streaming station anybody
0:33:08anywhere
0:33:09looking at that listening to that song
0:33:10and saying I would like to play this for
0:33:12our audience or anybody hearing that
0:33:14song if somebody somehow played it
0:33:17anybody hearing that song and saying I
0:33:19want to buy that album yeah no okay
0:33:22so on the same album my number two is
0:33:24dreamin
0:33:29Jim it was pretty bad to see I think
0:33:31though for me like it just kills this
0:33:34album it's seriously it just digs its
0:33:36hole and just drops it in it and it
0:33:38forgets about it forever it's so
0:33:39terrible it just sets it doesn't make
0:33:42you want to buy any song on this album
0:33:43based on those two which is sad because
0:33:46we like real either we do right well and
0:33:48the third single pork and beans was very
0:33:50successful that should have been the
0:33:52first I think I still think it's a
0:33:54terrible song overall it's pretty funny
0:33:57but it's yeah but I mean they didn't
0:33:59have a lot of great choices on the album
0:34:00you know what's your number two my
0:34:03number two I think has to be El Scorcho
0:34:09just because of the impact it had at the
0:34:12time like it was so it was so costly to
0:34:17them and in the end that was their first
0:34:20truly awful single like I'm done the
0:34:23sweater song was not a bad single it's
0:34:25not a great single but it's it's decent
0:34:26you know but then to launch your second
0:34:30album with such high expectations to
0:34:32launch that without score show I think
0:34:33is fatal it's that's almost my number
0:34:35one it was my number one before I gave
0:34:37this crazy long titled song and listen
0:34:39now that I've heard that it has to be
0:34:41number one but well if we're talking
0:34:42just the first singles off of the album
0:34:45I think I would have to go with Beverly
0:34:47Hills as my number - yeah Beverly Hills
0:34:53is really really bad now that being said
0:34:56because we're on drugs which is was my
0:35:00number three but if we're not gonna do
0:35:01second singles well I think we can do
0:35:04second singles but it's not as powerful
0:35:06no it's not as fast like if your first
0:35:08Mila comes out and just sucks that I
0:35:10think is is more what this what this
0:35:12episode is about right yeah yeah okay so
0:35:14number one is greatest worst song ever
0:35:16yeah number two for me is El Scorcho
0:35:18what's your number two again was it
0:35:20Beverly Hills Beverly Hills okay and
0:35:22then number three what do you think is
0:35:24your number three hash pipe
0:35:26[Music]
0:35:28I think I agree I think I have to go
0:35:33hash pipe on that as well because he
0:35:35Beverly Hills as much as I don't like it
0:35:38it did very well for them so I I can't
0:35:42put that as high on my list as you do
0:35:43yeah but it's silly it's just like but
0:35:49it's it's similar to pork and beans and
0:35:51that it did get a lot of radio time it
0:35:52was very popular it was very catchy and
0:35:54and it is not as bad but HAP I it could
0:35:58have it could they could have picked a
0:36:00better better song from that album on
0:36:03there it wasn't a great album I'm not
0:36:07sure they could have honestly it was it
0:36:09was pretty pretty rough out how they
0:36:13definitely could have picked a better
0:36:14yeah if they would have picked island in
0:36:16the Sun that would be a better choice
0:36:18and that was their second they can often
0:36:20pick good second singles yeah second
0:36:23single was fine but to put hash pipe up
0:36:25there so hash pipe is easily my number
0:36:27three and now my number four is El
0:36:29Scorcho because I do like it I like it
0:36:31in its awfulness so that's why I had to
0:36:34lower it down the list on worst awful to
0:36:37the least awful because I liked it I
0:36:39don't know it just it just tickles my
0:36:42heart see I think I'm gonna for my
0:36:45number four let's see it is a kind of
0:36:48terrible the lyrics are bad
0:36:51no saying else the court show mmm no I
0:36:55like it
0:36:56it's funny it makes me think of history
0:36:59in our lives so I like it you you
0:37:02associate of all the Weezer songs we've
0:37:04shared together you associate that one
0:37:06with the background of our life no not
0:37:08exclusively it's just there because I
0:37:10believe it was probably one of the songs
0:37:12you put on my CD it had to have LC work
0:37:15show yeah cuz it you didn't yeah yeah
0:37:17you gave me didn't even though I lied
0:37:19instead I had it maybe I out of mercy
0:37:22mitad that one yeah alright so my number
0:37:28four have you gone number four you el
0:37:30Scorcho yes oh your number my number
0:37:31four I think I'm gonna have to go with
0:37:33we are all on drugs
0:37:38no but we are doing number ones songs
0:37:41where all the drugs was number two
0:37:43but Beverly Hills wasn't that bad so my
0:37:46number one is the greatest song that
0:37:48ever bombed
0:37:49number two is El Scorcho number three is
0:37:52what did I say was number three hashtag
0:37:55and number four for me is we are on
0:37:58drugs okay well then if we're doing that
0:38:00then mine is the greatest song that was
0:38:02ever the worst and then number two its
0:38:05dreamin number three is we're on drugs
0:38:08and number four would be hash pipe or
0:38:12Beverly Hills oh you don't have a firm
0:38:15number four I'm thinking about it give
0:38:17me a second I have my little I have a
0:38:20solid list this time and I did research
0:38:22one had to be searched this is much more
0:38:24your show in your pics though I think at
0:38:26the fair I'm glad that you have now that
0:38:28it's your topic this is the first time
0:38:30it's been your topic so I think that
0:38:33that's right of you to have a list and
0:38:35for me to have a little bit of a Marco
0:38:37list very small little bit of a Marco
0:38:39list I am pretty personal sir yeah I'll
0:38:43give you credit you did pretty well not
0:38:45nearly as bad as my usual list quality
0:38:48yeah I think if we are adding the other
0:38:50songs in just general worst singles that
0:38:53came out at all Beverly Hills hash pipe
0:38:55in no Scorcho are probably tied for
0:38:57fourth so you have to read number four I
0:38:59do have three number fours but I have I
0:39:01have a one two and three and three
0:39:03number fours I don't have like 15 15 or
0:39:06whatever you had I win no you don't win
0:39:09I win so in closing I don't think Weezer
0:39:12is a bad bin I like a lot of their music
0:39:14and I hope this was actually not too
0:39:16negative about them as a band no it was
0:39:20just I just think it's amusing that they
0:39:21have such incredibly bad abilities
0:39:25especially you know recently it's it
0:39:27does seem like they've fixed that in the
0:39:29last couple releases but in all their
0:39:31earlier work they just seemed to pick
0:39:33the worst songs as their first singles
0:39:35for all their albums yep
0:39:47[Laughter]
0:39:49it's so bad I bring home the turkey and
0:39:53I bring home the bacon
