fuck...I love rivers strangely exaggerated confidence during the red album era, I think it's because of the mustache. It can do that to people. Now he is without a satche, and he is back to his normal self. the power of the mustache temporarily altered him.

This song is risk taking at it's finest, an homage perhaps, but a classic in it's own right. It might not go down as one of the "greatest" Weezer songs but it certainly presents a good argument for why Weezer will go down as the greatest and longest lasting bands of this generation.
