The song is about a homosexual, transgender sex worker. The song is written like an inside talk and related to inner issues. The song was quite successful when it was released, and it quickly became very popular. It brings a chill and laid back mood when you listen, like a feeling of a holiday. The song is one of the softest songs of the group. Make Belive and Pork N Beans have a few decents, but I have a hard time listening to them still.A-Ha cover was included in their album “The Teal Album” in 2019. Blue should be the standard of the band showcasing at least glimpses of everything we’d like about them in all their other albums and B-Sides. Green is a solid album by itself to play just straight through and enjoy the whole thing. Although at work we would bust out spontaneous a capella rounds of El Scorcho from time to time. As much as I like it I still wouldn’t listen to it around my wife or parents or my kids and is best enjoyed in the loneliness of a dark room with the rain on the window. Pinkerton is emotional and rocks hard but not the standard of the band by any means. Seriously? Make Believe was a 90% turn away from what I knew of as Weezer and seemed like a sell-out. It drove me insane to see Make Believe marketed as “Weezer’s most raw album since Pinkerton”. Def more experimental but raw and catchy. Like comparable to “Pet Sounds” or “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” good. The released singles from the album are ok, at least as good as anything on the Green Album, but all the rest of Maladroit is amazing. Sure, Maladroit never became a cultural touchstone the way the band’s first two albums did, but it deserves more credit than it ever got. With numbers like “Keep Fishin’,” “Space Rock” and “Possibilities,” Maladroit is catchier than the Green Album and less melodramatic than Pinkerton. Pitched somewhere between the lightness of the Blue Album and the riffs on Pinkerton, Maladroit has charm and hooks to spare. Maladroit, the band’s fourth album, is actually really good: not exactly deep, but it has some really stellar pop songs. Luckily, these disparate groups managed to put aside their differences and come together over a shared principle: that Maladroit sucked. Each record only managed to divide the band’s fans into separate camps: the early pop lovers, the emo kids, the casual listeners. With the Blue Album and 1996’s Pinkerton already established in pop history and the Green Album released to polite indifference, it seemed like Weezer had gone as far as it could go. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned from Weezer’s career, it’s that “soothing” is not a phrase that belongs in its vocabulary. Maybe the song’s appeal was due to that video with all the cute animals after all, music soothes the savage beast.

Maybe the Green Album wasn’t amazing, but it had a half-dozen single-ready tracks better than “Island In The Sun.” After a lifetime of exposure thanks to commercials and radio play, it’s officially time to retire this tired number. So laid back it’s practically catatonic, “Island In The Sun” somehow managed to become one of Weezer’s biggest hits. With Cuomo and crew about to launch their own online radio station courtesy of Clear Channel, what better time to examine the most overrated and underrated Weezer songs?

While some of Weezer’s songs have passed into our collective memory (“Buddy Holly,” “Beverly Hills”) and have no intention of leaving anytime soon, others should never have been released in the first place (we’re looking at you, “Heart Songs”).

And even if the band’s recent efforts haven’t lived up to its classic debut and history of hits, this is still a band with the power to surprise us.

Tucked beneath its Cheap Trick riffs and nerd-friendly lyrics, Weezer managed to record some of the best power-pop anthems of the past 15 years. We come not to bury Rivers Cuomo, but to praise him. Weezer has always gotten more than its fair share of contempt.
