| River actually let Brian sing "Getchoo" when I saw them on 5/8 in Boston. It was pretty damn cool. I wonder what Brian had to do to be able to have lead vocals. Brian: What must I do to sing this song? Rivers: Bring me a Japanese woman's fetus so I may raise it into a super hot chick. Brian: Um, anything a little more realistic? Rivers: Ok, Ok. Bring me the toenail clipping of a teradactyle. Kidding. I love those guys, whether or not they love each other. =w= bitches. | |

| I personally think the Blue Album is the best album, But Pinkerton is running close with it. Pinkerton had such a great and unique sound. This song would still be great if there were no vocals b/c musically it's awesome. | |

| this is definitive weezer. i know Rivers doesn't like it anymore but i think its one of the best songs they've done. i think it's about a guy that is immature and his girlfriend has had enough of his behaviour, and he wants her to stay with him. this song rules! | |

| I LOVE the way Rivers sings the line 'Cuz you don't wanna play around no more". The way he stretches out the "more" is absolultely one of my 2 or 3 favorite Weezer moments ever. | |

| Word, sane. Girls have told me that I do this...even though I think I'm just being guy, they think I'm falling in love with them. Most guys don't try to tease, but a lot of girls take it that way. Rivers is right with us on this one. | |

| The deal with pinkerton was that it was an extremely bad time for Rivers, not just the lack of popularity toward the album. Basically he doesnt like to play much off pinkerton because it reminds him of all of his bad memories from that time. The idea of the green album was to write a cd devoid of emotions. | |
