@JFullerUCSB Something can be great but not fit. I don't think this song really fits with the rest of the songs, not even in a "but it brings a parallel to the rest of the songs" sort of way, either.
At first I thought "Not bad for new Weezer. They Rivers can still put out some great songs. Then I realized the entire death part is too similar to the death part in "Bohemian Rhapsody".
One of Weezer's most emotionally effective songs (for me anyway). The video captures well the moods expressed in it. Great job! What motivated you to do it?
i luv this song so much!!!! :D this is the best song ever made! (sad ending :'( but atleast im doin sumthin by goin vegitarian, and i hope i impact the people i meet and tell them about all this stuff)
okay....my two cents on this album.....i think it was good but could of been great....i personally think if they got rid of "Thought I Knew" and replaced it with "Miss Sweeney. Then get rid of "Cold Dark World" and replaced it with "Pig". Then get rid of "Automatic" and replaced it with "The Spider"...Then I think it would of been a great great album....but still good overall....this song's amazing
Unfortunately most pigs don't live on a farm where they can play in the mud with their friends, or interact normally with other animals... and there's certainly no kind farmer pete :(
I cried to this song, I know it's a song about a pig, but I can really relate to it, if that makes sense... :')
But I had to laugh though, becuase the pig's girlfriend's name is Tina, and there's a girl that I love with every inch of my heart with the same name lol. :D
i'm pretty sure they didnt name one of their babies shitty.. lol

@Jackimole Blue Album - Weezer was young, innocent, and new
Pinkerton - Weezer was hurt and confused
Green Album - Weezer got over the confusion of pinkerton
Maladroit - Weezer fans started to dislike the "new weezer" (Space Rock)
Make Believe - The height of weezer mainstream popularity with "Beverly Hills" also the highlight of the pigs life with his marriage
Red Album - Weezer just wants to do fun things, the other band members take more of an important role.

I noticed, but that doesn't make it a bad song. He was obviously hinting that I think, seeing as the Red Album hints a lot of influences.
