Weezer - Pig

[zppbonzo]

@KingElectricity You missed the point...

[1imesub]

I promise to never eat any more pigs for the rest of my life.

[kamikrazi123]

@1imesub I bet from the time you posted that comment, you already ate pork or bacon, right?

[1imesub]

@kamikrazi123 Nope. No meat at all actually, and I'm sticking with it.

[kamikrazi123]

@1imesub Mhm, right... So what about cows? You stop eating meat altogether? Cuz you know... Weezer's made a b-side to this song. It's an exact carbon copy except the they replace the word "pig" with "cow" and "chicken" and "fish" also...

[1imesub]

@kamikrazi123 No meat, period. I'm a big believer in karma; what goes around comes around; you reap what you sow; treat others the way you want to be treated, etc. So be compassionate and you will be rewarded. I can't explain how or why it happens, it just does.

Furthermore, I don't miss it. It actually disgusts me to see or smell it, so it's pretty easy to not eat it.

[hungrymormon]

BACON <3

[1imesub]

@hungrymormon You are evil.

[Jackimole]

I think the reason that this wasn't on the album was because you couldn't have this song and "Pork and Beans" on the same album.

[nhonho23]

@Jackimole

hahahaha

good one

[JBHutto]

@Jackimole heh

[rissajoy623]

i wonder if the fact that two of the kids' names he lists are the names of his half brothers (gabe and shannon) has anything to do with his dad??? I dont know how that'd fit with the rest of it, though

[xoFrecklesxo]

I don't think this song is depressing. In fact, I think it's the opposite. It's about someone living a seemingly average life, but being happy any having no regrets. It's beautiful and poetic.

[sh61288]

I bet this song has saved a few pigs

GO VEG

[Missmunkiify]

@sh61288 Already have!!

[987657654321]

@sh61288 you know hitler was a vegetarian? vegetarians agree with hitler.

[beelz666kaas]

@987657654321 Hitler wasn't a vegetarian, in fact, he had a very normal diet. bit. ly/9W9Ik1

I still think vegetarians are idiots, but I also love them very much, more vegetarians means more meat for me and Hitler.

[1imesub]

@beelz666kaas You think people with morals and a healthy diet are idiots... I can tell you've put a lot of thought into this.

[jeffersonstarship23]

Why do 6 people unlike this?

[joiish]

Somewhere inside that brain of his, Cuomo's still got it. Finally, some genuine-sounding emotion from the guy.

[GalaxyDuster]

I love his voice... there is just nothing else like it.

[frootlooprox628]

I cut to Weezer. So beautiful.

[TurrianAgent]

Might just be the most depressing song I've ever heard in my life.

[Twisted4000]

@TurrianAgent i never thought of this song as depressing, just kinda bluesy, know what i mean?

[TurrianAgent]

@Twisted4000 I think it's both. A bluesy type beat, but the lyrics are pretty damn depressing.

[PaperfaceMusic]

@TurrianAgent Ever hear the song Permanent by David Cook?

[TurrianAgent]

@PaperfaceMusic No.

[cheeserules5419]

Does the "But now I've got to die...." part remind anyone else of Bohemian Rhapsody?

[heety9]

@cheeserules5419 yeah

[manilaboy1vic]

@cheeserules5419 Very similar to Bohemian Rhapsody... love this song.

[jakemandujano1414]

@cheeserules5419 Yup and he also sings very similar notes when he talks about Farmer Keep just like when Freddie Mercury sings "I've got to go"

[ChristarpFP]

weezer is the worst band ever created in the history of music, you should all be ashamed of yourselves

[OswaldsThe]

in a strange way the first part of the song makes me feel kinda like happy.

bw.this song ist just awesome.

[JBHutto]

Pig + Miss Sweeney >>>> Pretty much everything else actually on the Red Album. I can sort of understand why they weren't on the album though, sort of hard to fit this one in.

[PaperfaceMusic]

@JBHutto It doesn't fit in with the sound of the album as a whole. Which is why their bonus tracks, so you can still have them.

[EmileaLiebe]

I looove this version of this song.

[ethan775]

has any one noticed that pig and the spider are charlottes web and are the most depressing songs by weezer?

[HVF12]

Quite possibly the most depressing song ever.

[sm00thie311]

I'm gonna make a video to this song. I hope they don't silence it.....

[danielsfortman]

this is actually rivers' home demo, not the band version

[TheAmazingBojack]

I'd go gay for Rivers.

[keithokyddmann1]

it sounds alot like bohemian rhapsosy

[Dynaty20]

thought the same at the beginning

[LilBlanards]

omg same

[gazzahynes]

Lovely song. Love Weezer.!

[weezerpotter]

♥WEEZER I LOVE YOUUUU!!!!♥

[q0rkie]

yeah, weezer's freakin awesome i bet they'll go on like the rolling stones

[faeustie]

all guys who giving minus points, don't understand the lyrics

[regularperson46]

Are you kidding? This song is hilarious!!

[BiscuitsJoe]

this song is absolutely heartbreaking...

[vagranttheory]

WOW! was tht a cover?? it sounds AMAZING!! i love it!

[Freestuff9er]

No, this is the demo of the song that Rivers recorded before they got into the studio.

[mustanggracielou]

this song is kinda sad... :(

[nollix]

Weezer is for pussy-ass liberal hipster college kids.

[badtown88]

You're a retard.

[Cunctando]

Yeah, damn right, hop aboard and hear the nervous paean and be grateful only the stupid hate, and that Frankenstein's dead. People who bluster and attempt to eclipse others with their careless expositions usually end up finding out they're sterile (nice comment, though). Love pussy-ass, love liberal, love hipster-everybodies. Keep ruling, lil' nation.

[jumboshrimp42]

wooo!

[tsandtss]

This demo is much better than the actual album version.

[usamericanz]

saddest song ever.

[STKisCOOLIO]

omg so sad

damn u farmer pete!!!

[footballmad0501]

i cant believe this song wasnt in the album its a gr8 song can some1 tell me where can i download it (for free)?

[redmnms8080]

it is on the album

[weezerbh]

this is the demo, but yes, its on the deluxe version of The Red Album

[VaultMusic105]

Its a bonus track

[InsaneShayne13]

limewire

[benjaminpepe1]

this song is amazing. I have to say i was really dissipointed in the new albumn though : ( im glad they put this on it though but ive heard it like a hundred times before it came out

[JibbyKills]

I am pleased with the album. I heart "Heart Songs".

[weezer40oz]

it's sad isn't it? poor wilburrr! makes me cry.

[Aleckzweight1]

oh wait nevermind i get it. its about a pig gorwing up untill he gets slautered. good job again guys lol

[Aleckzweight1]

i never know if he is talking about his life or just making up a story like in my name is jonas and perfect situation. If this is about his life, sad.

[Drtano]

ya hes talking about his life... oh wait hes a pig

[ItalianMafia36]

i lvoe this song its so great and stuff but if u think of the name of the song its called pig so its about pig thats what makes me mad so any weezer fan which i am one dont get mad at me its just my thinking opinon sorta deal

[LaaLiPop]

the song's a metaphor. it's not rly about a pig.

[AWSKAR]

Charlette's Web?

[mojacherox]

Yes :)

[Sangoluver7]

I love this song ^_^

[ItalianMafia36]

whats this song all about

[Blakeley324]

Listen to the words!

[miraclegro130]

are you stupid?

[x0FakeX0SmilesXo]

OH wow. That was 7 months ago. You're the one whose stupid. You had ot have looked through the comments..you must have a boring life.

[dossjuan]

This Live Version is awesome! Can't wait for the tour!

[chessycube13]

this isnt live. this song was recorded last released last summer.

[lazrpo1nt3r]

Actually, that's a bit wrong too. This is the demo that was leaked onto the internet in 2007. It's a bit faster and doesn't have a lot of the studio trickery that came with the album release, not to mention that Rivers is doing all of the parts here.

[television758]

Damn! This song brings a tear to my eye...

[TheBaNdHYM101]

most of the songs on the red album sound the same

[BileChunk]

I dare you to even try to compare Everybody Get Dangerous to this song.

[rohiogerv22]

"Everybody Get Dangerous" was generic pop though. It's like if Nirvana would have sang "Don't Bring Me Down"

[lazrpo1nt3r]

No, they just sang Molly's Lips...

[KingMachina]

This song is one of the best he's written in years!

[qwerty31194]

Great song

[Dramaa247]

Aww its so sad. . . And im a Vegetarian to.. So Cute.. Love it LOVE! it

[DesecrationSmile2012]

this is on the delux edition of the red album. i love it.

am i the only one that thinks that parts of it sound a lot like bo rap??? (like, the middle)

or maybe im as crazy as they say

[DesecrationSmile2012]

*deluxe

haha im soooo smart

[KingMachina]

Rivers loves rap!This is his neo-funk phase.have you heard him doing Ice Cube's The Bomb?Its from 93 if I remember.

[DesecrationSmile2012]

ill have to look for that.

and yeah i know he's a fan of rap. he even raps a little on the new album. lolz

i meant bo rap as in bohemian rhapsody by queen.

:P

[Didgeman80]

Just when I was worried that Weezer lost all emotion in their music they go ahead and release songs like this one and Miss Sweeney and I feel a little bit better again. Yeah, should have left the harmonica in.

[JJKId93]

There is a new version to this song it sounds awsome

[degawdawee]

i think this version ounds a lot better. the new version sounds overproduced and they took out the harmonicas

[Boxerman55]

Its a very sad song.

[nat21paris]

i love this song!!!

[Mizunomx23]

thisisyimscott

good joke

[christofski54321]

the full band version has been leaked, its really cool. Stays pretty true to the demo. Can't complain really. It should have been on the album though rather than just the delux edition. Also look out for Ms. Sweeney, its an awesome song.

[MrBranProductions]

omg who heard this on amazon as a 30 second clip? like the studio version. its a bit different but i want to hear all of it!!! omg this song is great!

[csculley27]

I love this song!

[porterrrrrrrr]

not at all man. think about that. make believe was commercialized bs that was targeted to people with low attention spans and needed hooks to listen to a song. this atleast tells a story. not their best, but comparing it to make believe is realy stretching it

[TOexp]

well i like the personality in the song and ur right it is better than make believe but still nowhere near pinkerton or blue album

[jcrist]

been said endless times, shut up.

[vvgolfer]

ur a idiot

[MrBranProductions]

make believe was friggin awesome, and this song is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thisisyimscott]

maladroit and make believe were not mediocre, and what they're puttin out now is just as good as blue... if not better

[chrispollock]

wow an emotional weezer song. thought i'd never hear one again after the green album and the two mediocre albums that followed. head back to blue, guys! let out your feelings! and don't overproduce!

[Thompson1337]

lol tomataso "Pat wilson is a good singer, but rivers is more good" more good. hahah! sorry i agree. I just thought i had to make you feel shitty

[cuseorange15]

What a songwriter! Rivers still has some genius left in the tank.

[singaporiancrimelord]

this sounds like rivers with scott dude.

[sarikaye]

No, that's definitely Rivers singing. Come on, guys.

[chellemic]

Definitely.

[fitzpatrickjm]

It's Rivers double tracking himself, singing each part in different registers. It's a demo he did whilst in Japan if I'm correct.

[drummerbraves]

On second listen, it is Patrick singing.

[drummerbraves]

I believe that's Scott singing lead and playing bass guitar with Rivers, Patrick and Brian singing backup. Brian is playing harmonica as well.

[drummerbraves]

Is that Patrick singing with Scott?

[tomataso]

Pat wilson is good singer, but rivers is more good, i love this simple song. Brian Bell, Rivers Cuomo, Pat Wilson and Scott Schriner, are the bes combination

[0jonas1]

screw business talk.

this is a beautiful song.

[guru151115]

wow this is a good song

[Filmthemovie77]

1 Troublemaker 2 The Greatest Man That Ever Lived 3 Pork and Beans 4 Heart Songs 5 Everybody Get Dangerous 6 Dreamin' 7 Thought I Knew 8 Cold Dark World 9 Automatic 10 The Angel and the One Bonus tracks 11 Ms. Sweeney 12 Pig 13 The Spider 14 King

[an4rew]

sounds like queen

[Megamacdeth]

Sounds like "Bobby Brown" by Zappa. Good stuff though.

[tomataso]

this is the voice of matt?

[weezerbh]

lol you clods...you guys are all gay for matt sharp.

[redsith]

Is this about how since he's getting married his old self has to die?

[Didgeman80]

Yeah, we need Matt back in the band and for these guys to march in to the studio, record sftbh once and for all and do a god damn sftbh tour!!!!!!!!!! =W=

PS: this song was good!!

[davevexer]

shit. this is good.

[amontmexicano]

weezer rocks.  the rentals always sound exactly the same, and that's shitty

[monkkeyz8mylunch]

Dude rentals are good,you guy sare in denial.

And for some strange reason weezer starting sucking after Matt left,how'd that happen?

[jpreber]

Weezer does not suck, period. But yes, the Rentals are good.

[PatCourtney]

yeah weezer sucked after matt left.this new one better be good.

[Foundation4life]

Ok, The Rentals are terrible, the first album was ok and that was it. As for this song, it's not on the new Cuomo cd, which from what I've heard so far is not very good.

[websiteusername]

theres no way you could know that the new album is good or not and the rentals are awsome

[Foundation4life]

well, it came out about a month ago.. so clearly I can form an opinion on it. This isn't a Weezer song as it's labeled, its a Rivers song... and it's not on his new album, which is what I was referring to.

[kmd29]

Actually it WILL be on the new Weezer album. Get your facts straight.

[somebodysheine]

NOBODY has confirmed that yet.

[PatCourtney]

this was confirmed that pig will be on weezer the red album but only the deluxe edition. check their website. you probably already knew this anyway.

[paulmako]

They have now :)

[Foundation4life]

Yea, and now it's confirmed that you're wrong and should get YOUR facts straight before you flap at the gums. It will not be on the official release, only as a bonus on deluxe editions.

[paulmako]

So therefore it will be on the official release. Even if it's only on the deluxe, it's still confirmed. And I did know, I check the Weezer site almsot every day, so don't be so presumtious. I didn't feel it necessary to mention because PatCourtney already had.

WEEZER!

[kmd29]

if i buy the new weezer album and its on the album, how is it NOT an official release? Are you saying that it really isnt on my copy of the cd when i buy it? what a tool.

[cosmokramer54]

THis song is only on the deluxe version of their cd.

[ElGriesbo123]

It's safe to say Rivers has not touched any of these type of issues in the past three albums. The only songs that I can think of that he uses obtuse metaphors to blatantly describe his emotions are Butterfly, Undone -Sweater Song, and Only in Dreams. Hopefully getting himself a woman was what he needed in order to turn over a new leaf and get out of his shell that he's been in for the past ten years.

[ElGriesbo123]

If you read the lyrics, it's literally about the life cycle of a pig. Is the song a metaphor of the different of phases of Life in which the next phase that comes after Marriage is inevitable Death. And does that make Farmer Pete God?

[savesheastadium]

if there is a god, this song will be on the new album

[prodigylover]

does it feel like its goin nowhere at times,kinda..but my good..is it a good tune!!HELL YES!!! TOUT ENSEMBLE APR 22woooooottt!!

[XweezerXrulesX]

actually, it isnt called tout ensemble, and theres no official release date yet... check out weezer(dot)com and itll let you know. go to albumsix(dot)com and itll also explain what im talking about. it was all just a joke.

[prodigylover]

ya i found out that a while back,tis a pity..ah well at least theres still an album due sometime,

[XweezerXrulesX]

yeah. i heard somewhere that they were touring with the strokes and placebo. im pretty sure it isnt true but thatd be absolutely fucking awesome.

nice screenname, by the way. i wanted to go with something like that to make only real weezer fans know, maybe 'sheilacandoit' but i decided to go straightup and let people know with which band my heart lies :P

[langerian1991]

agreed

[closetemo32]

i was really hoping this song would be better... honestly, i don't see what all the fuss is about besides the fact that it's proof of rivers' continuing interest in making music

[TheScribbler]

It is an excellent song! What'chu talkin' about Willis?

[closetemo32]

it's really not... it's not bad, but it's pretty generic, and overall not very distinctive for a weezer song.

[htdjose]

its just because its acoustic....i mean...falling for you sounds kind of plain just as an acoustic soung...but as we all know as weezer fans...falling for you really rocks...."holy sweet goddamn"

=swoop=

[8Bitz]

Maybe instead of a rip-off it's a homage. I'm sure Rivers has heard that song and would realize that other people would notice. Besides Weezer + Queen = Awesomesauce.

[8Bitz]

Beautiful.

[Personamanx]

This song is AWESOME........... TO THE MAX!

[emohoodlum]

i actually really like this song, I'm surprised.. from how i had heard it described it was kinda dumb

[wargkiller1]

i have one thing to say, weezer rocks!!!!!!!!!!

[Sirham]

very rivers-like... i dig it.

[LSMUSER]

I knew as soon as Rivers found a chick he would get sappy. Totally Freddy Mercury... Rivers is human afterall...

[aquafinaman123]

pretty good for a year ago. the verses are corny like beverly hillz, but i can see a cute funny video. The chorus although is the best part "now i have to die" but too bad i hear the ripoff from Queen.

[gwicks]

yeah totally, it's totally from bohemian rhapsody. BOOOO!

[hadley12656]

Hopefully this is on "Alone"

[emohoodlum]

whats "alone"? is that gonna be the new album?

[ClydeFrog7]

The album of old demos and stuff that Rivers is releasing.

[Foundation4life]

Oh, and this isn't Weezer. It's a Rivers solo song that he was playing around with last year.

[Foundation4life]

I don't see how anyone can argue that the best creative period for Weezer came out of the Rivers/Matt era. Like Waters and Gilmour, they brought the best out in each other. It'd be great to see them do something together again.

[torrybruce]

both are pure genius!!!

[hadley12656]

that definitely makes no sense.
