@njlwag It was written with Jermaine Dupri and put on Rivers's demo album "Alone 2" as a "4 or 5 star demo". Rivers considered it to be one of his favorite songs that he's written and has performed it on multiple occasions under different circustances... Heck, there's 3 different versions of the album version.
Obviously, Rivers does not see this song as a joke, he's very proud of it and wants it to be perfect, but the fact is that it never will be.
I love the acoustic version, but this song is just kick ass the way they sing like they're the shit it's awesome. (It's a satire. I've read comments where people think Rivers is taking the theme of this song seriously. Well, he's not!)
i've been a fan of weezer since 1994 when i was 11.... bought the first four albums. but nothing from the next two interested me at all. but this song and album (Raditude) is great. i think it's their best stuff since pinkerton. this is good music. yeah it's different from anything they've done. but it's brilliant. and then their first one on epitaph is also good called Hurley, which just came out. not sure yet if it's better than Raditude, but Weezer is back for me. i love it.
@100spurs yes!!! i didn't think that i'd like this song... but it's actually unexpectedly good! :D and with a nerd like rivers singing about having a big posse and needing to have pretty girls around him, it gives the song a different vibe! haha! :D (didn't think he can pull off singing these lyrics) :)
fuck lil wayne, shit rapper! we need more of them rappers like eminem, tupac, and chamillionaire, who rap about everything, especially life's shits!!!!
No offense to weezer but what were they thinking when the let lil wayne be on the album! They should of went with chamillionaire(or any other rapper) in the first place!
@youcancallmejenn yeah he's wrong, freeways are free, tollways you pay tolls, but I think he said it instead of sounding redundent with tolls and tollways. Oh well, sounds better than lil wayne imo.
Dont usually like rap or anything like that but i love this song. Atleast you can never say weezer are going stale, they always try new things, some dont work but some, like this do
amazing , fucking amazing.... awesome song wether it be sad or sarcastic idc this is a great song...i like the techno feel of it mixed with the guitars\drums good choice with chamillionaire too thumbs up
@iheartkidholden i know! i was seriously laughing when i saw it. its hilarious for him to at least TRY to show his gangster side like chamillionaire lol
well although many people hate this cuz its not the true weezer, many people should love this cuz its alot better than alot of other pop artists' songs.
I love raditude. I song is awesome. Weezer is still amazing. I dont understand why people hate raditude. If weezer played the same things everytime, they would get boring. Im glad they changed some of their music in raditude! ITS AWESOME MUSIC!
i like this song but it isnt really weezer they really steped out of their box, i really like it but the other people are like on the side make them face the crowd they have a part in the song
I dont think they've sold out. Rivers is doing what he likes and it happens to vary at different periods in his career. Some people like some stuff, other people like other stuff.
They probably just enjoy performing. And, it is a catchy song. You cant say its bad, coz all that stuff depeneds on the person, and their opinion :/ Just coz its different to their other stuff doesnt mean they've sold out! They're trying something different! :D
what you don't seem to understand is that on Raditude they spoof all kinds of music, so they haven't sold out they're just caricaturing different kinds of music .... think a little !
stfu weezer always kicks ass the fact that they can go from writing old school to hip hop and pop and rock and anything htey want is proof they just kick ass
@FakeFlourescentSkies "I wish they didn't shit on Pinkerton. Maybe Rivers wouldn't have totally changed his music for the shittier." what are you trying to say with this?
I don't know why everyone hates the Red Album so much. It's amazing compared to Make Believe. I thought Raditude was AWFUL when it came out but I kept listening out of humour and it became one of my favourite albums of recent times.
FUCK YOU, dont listen then. i think blue album was the best but this album was a HUGE improvement over the AMAZINGLY disappointing red album. if you dont like then fuck off
No offence but, when I first heard this song, I never suspected it was sung by Weezer. But it has a catchy tune. <3 Weezer always no matter what the change. xDD
dont have on Rivers/Weezer for trying new things.artists need to be able to do that, i meanwould you want to produce thesame typeof music your whole life?
Weezer is one of the greats. I dont belive this song was their idea but i bet they enjoyed doing it and sometimes its not about everyone else. Then again if it was their idea its not great but the rest of this album was good enough to make up for it.

Yeah lil waynes version killed chamillionaires, "party like tomorrow is my funeral, gotta stop mixin alcohol with pharmaceuticals " and thats wanyes first line? and its actually on count and sounds right? chamillionaire starts off "im a rock star not a pop star, paid my toll now im on my freeway" elementary with that. lol
