Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture marc Professional	#1 by marc at Feb 23, 1971 at 5:50 PM EST
	Rivers said about Holiday and In the Garage: "Written in a sudden burst of confidence and optimism right after we got a record deal. Those positive emotions have since dissipated - along with our cash advances - but I still like the songs."

No Picture Reece Wanna Be	#2 by Reece Brown at May 11, 1971 at 5:44 PM EST
	wasn't this one in the mary-kate and asley movie???

No Picture Ryan Sutherland Rhythm Player	#3 by Ryan Sutherland at Jul 22, 1977 at 9:47 AM EST
	This is obviously about Rivers wanting to spend time w/ his chick. Somewhere where they could be alone and have fun.

No Picture wrath Average	#4 by wrath child at Apr 30, 1979 at 3:32 AM EST
	this is my favorite favorite favorite song! on blue anyway, ahem. i LOVE the part about writing a postcard to our friends and family! it sounds like the slow part in one slowdance by rufio don't you think? i love this song!

No Picture dylan Average	#5 by dylan pesino at Apr 13, 1981 at 3:48 AM EST
	haha guidosrevenge, i thought they were kind of obvious, so i didn't say anything before ("clever lyrics"...). i didn't notice the "heartbeat" part, though. and i am pretty sure it's "beatnik".

No Picture Brennan Wanna Be	#6 by Brennan unknown at Oct 21, 1990 at 11:25 PM EST
	I'm a dude. And I fully understand being attracted to Rivers Cuomo. But don't pick on the poor girl, she was probably joking. Anyhoo, this song is about something, leaving. More and more I find I love songs about running away together. And also that this song sounds really good

No Picture KISS is the gre Average	#7 by KISS is the greatest at Mar 8, 1991 at 12:29 AM EST
	Yeah i agree with Title track.. and yes i am girl that LOVES weezer..you can't forget about the other members of the band. and this song is just wacky like all the other weezer songs and thats what they are going for

No Picture quinn almann ' Wanna Be	#8 by quinn almann ' jk carson at Mar 13, 1994 at 11:59 AM EST
	dude no it was island in the sun that was in the mary kate video and the greatest funniest thing was when after rivers played it at the show i went to he was like "mary kate and ashley yeah"... and lord knows only like 500 million girls think they are going to marry rivers---poor guy, having to deal with a teenybopper craze while trying to be a rock star. =w= kicks ass and i wsih i could meet them---just to see what kind of people they are... anybody that can play and sing that well would be interesting to meet

No Picture Taylor Lead Player	#9 by Taylor Dutton at Mar 2, 1995 at 9:32 AM EST
	holiday isn't about anything

No Picture NIK Average	#10 by NIK blaszczyszyn at Apr 9, 1996 at 10:29 AM EST
	this is a great song, it seems a little melancholy, but at the same time it's got a little optimism in it. kind of a dreamy hopefullness. i like.

No Picture david Average	#11 by david maynard at Jan 19, 2001 at 1:06 PM EST
	this is such a sweet song. about dreaming about running away with her, having the time of your life.

No Picture rockman Average	#12 by rockman the sequel at Feb 22, 2003 at 3:17 PM EST
	This is a boom bangin' beat yo. Rivers and his gang banger pals can drop it like its hot.

No Picture health risk Average	#13 by health risk at Jul 18, 2003 at 8:30 PM EST
	They start the song off exactly like She Said She Said by The Beatles
