Goddamn you half-Japanese girls
Do it to me every time
Oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
And I'm jello, baby
You won't talk, won't look, won't think of me
I'm the epitome of Public Enemy
Why you wanna go and do me like that?
Come down on the street and dance with me

I'm a lot like you so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me

I asked you to go to the Green Day concert
You said you never heard of them
How cool is that?
So I went to your room and read your diary:
"Watching Grunge leg-drop New-Jack through a press table..."
And then my heart stopped: "Listening to Cio-Cio San
Fall in love all over again."

I'm a lot like you so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me

How stupid is it? I can't talk about it
I gotta sing about it and make a record of my heart
How stupid is it? Won't you give me a minute
Just come up to me and say hello to my heart
How stupid is it?
For all I know you want me too
And maybe you just don't know what to do
Or maybe you're scared to say: "I'm falling for you"

I wish I could get my head out of the sand
'Cause I think we'd make a good team
And you would keep my fingernails clean
But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize
'Cause I can't even look in your eyes
Without shakin', and I ain't fakin'
I'll bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon.

I'm a lot like you so please
Hello, I'm here, I'm waiting
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me

I'm a lot like you.
I'm a lot like you, and I'm waitin.
I think I'd be good for you
And you'd be good for me.

why are you comparing which one's better? it's not a competition.... it's a cover.

[rockstarkay11]

my favorite weezer song..dashboard did it justice

[loveonglass]

Weezer's own is still way better (in my opinion), but they did pretty good job.

[KoolThing14]

Still think Weezer's is a million times better.

[KoolThing14]

So far it sounds like they did this song more justice then they did Jamie.

[handsXdown93]

One of my favorite covers EVER done by Dashboard<33333 Oh Chris. Love me. xoxo

@yourboytheroy i know! this is so well done!

[AStutteringLeftie]

This actually isn't bad. One of the first good Weezer covers I've ever heard.

[softlyspokensound]

very close

[yourboytheroy]

This guy seriously sounds like Rivers to me. I somehow got this version instead of the Weezer version, so I've been thinking this is the Weezer recording for like the past 3 year, haha. One of my favorite songs, to be honest.

@jessieedgil go die.

[IFUCKCHIPMUNKS]
