You were right

[@Jackie25637488857657]

Weezer are at their best when they write what comes natural without trying to replicate modern pop sounds. This is true Weezer song writing at its best.

[@JustSeb825825_p4ssw0rd]

not really, weezer themselves hate it when people say “this is true weezer” because everything else is weezer, wether you like it or not.

[@niceparker8401]

I agree. I think when ALL rock bands do their own thing instead of following whatever is popular it really turns out better. This is great sound

[@segasonic23]

@@JustSeb825825_p4ssw0rd Rivers himself is the one who wanted to do all the pop stuff, thats as close to the source as it gets lol. living in la and high as a kite (as well as the entirety of ok human) prove that rivers has always been able to write bangers even if they stray away from the guitar stuff

[@JustSeb825825_p4ssw0rd]

@@segasonic23 yeah exactly.

[@ZyxthePest]

I love the Brian's little "oooo!" after the "she touched my ankle" lyric. Perfection.

[@fraigy]

+ZyxthePest and also the "doo doo doo doo doo" after "sweet piano melodies play" at 2:04

[@lolimaducky]

1:02 after the upbeat OH! you hear him in the left headphone o-o-o-ohhh love it every time

[@wrraf]

yeah it's like the "bye" in Undone at the "the go, bye bye" lyric

[@alphalax7747]

Also the entire song

[@jimmelius]

everytime i see the word perfection, i read it as pinkerton. i dont think pinkerton is that good

[@doriekirk7164]

My dad loved Weezer and told me the sweater song reminded him of me. He just passed away 3 years ago- my name is Dorie. I fucking hope he heard this song before he passed. 💕💕🥺

[@The-SparkedHearts-Sean]

Sadly for you its Dori not Dorie so sucks to suck

[@OpinionMan100]

This has been a staple summer album since release

[@legitimatelemons]

This is one of those Weezer songs that I could've sworn I've heard on the radio before, but it only just came out. Super catchy. A hit for sure.

[@StrangerTxj]

Oh, she left me there She left me all alone Oh, but I don't care No I don't mind at all What really happened? I got distracted I suck at getting off the phone Boy in the bubble, saying "I love ya" I should have written her a note Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori When I'm feelin' lonely, I don't want to go (oh oh, oh oh) Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori Wish that they would show me, I can't let them go (oh oh, oh oh) Oh, she swam away And flexed her mermaid tail She was out too deep When lightning struck the bay Good witch or bad witch God is a woman I wish I hadn't played the prude She touched my ankle Paranoid Android I felt it in my molecules Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori When I'm feelin' lonely, I don't want to go (oh oh, oh oh) Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori Wish that they would show me, I can't let them go (oh oh, oh oh) Slender and tall They whisked my worries away Sweet piano melodies play Feet crushing Sauvignon grapes I hear them whispering, whispering, out at the pool Remember when we were only sixteen You made me believe in God But when I finally wake Both girls are gone Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori When I'm feelin' lonely, I don't want to go (oh oh, oh oh) Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori Wish that they would show me, I can't let them go (oh oh, oh oh) Thank me later :)

[@johnsison4260]

That crunchy guitar at the start instantly made this song one of their best.

[@RaphaelAaronRed]

The key changes and Brian's Backup make this the Pinkerton one, obviously.

[@BlastBoxer]

This may be my favourite weezer song. And that is saying something.

[@fs-g4z1n]

i love this song sm

[@BedroomScenesMovie]

I don't know why fans are complaining that the chorus's chord changes sound bad - it's just a variant on the Pachelbel 'Canon' (or "Basket Case" if you must) chords.

[@myles6917]

+King Andrew to listen to me whine

[@konjus]

+Myles Seber ABOUT NOTHING AND EVERYTHING

[@Matoochie]

+Man In Magenta Wig lol people are complaining? My Name Is Jonas and No One Else both follow the I V vi IV pattern.

[@eggbass]

It's from Walk Away Renee by The Left Bank

[@patriciofernandez2711]

I don't like the sudden modulation, I wish they'd kept that progression in the original key.

[@stealthsuit58]

One of the best Weezer songs ever made. 1:57 onwards is just bliss.

[@HeyGuy393]

I swear this album is the anthem for summer every year i love it

[@Bananaboatfloat123]

Found this song on Song Exploder! Weezer was explaining the process of writing this song. Very interesting

[@RyanFox]

Absolutely love this song. Great riffs, cheesy chorus- classic Weezer

[@monkeyjumbo48]

This song slaps so unbelievably hard

Its like if everything I loved about Green was put into a song.

[@gabrielmoreira7727]

and everything I hate was put out, hahaha :D

[@andresgiovanardi9362]

Such a great song!!! I like Weezer from their very beggining...I'm 40!! Greets and e-hugs from Argentina!! Hep Hep!!

[@gubba987]

i love the transition from this to L.A. Girlz! i wish they played it on tour 😭

[@JustSomeGuy496]

right??? the way the way the guitars feedback so beautifully, leading to LA Girlz is perfect. so good. That's one of the White Album's strengths, that you can start at California Kids and play it straight through to Endless Bummer.... then start it again lol.

[@funkychicken4509]

might be my favourite weezer song

[@notalleyna]

the bridge gives me chills every time. i love weezer.

[@thegrammarcrusader4085]

Ahhaa

[@smittywoo6492]

So this sing reminds me of a summer a few years ago. I had to two girl friends that I would pretty much go to the beach with, get lit and have fun with them every week. Of course life has separated all of us, but we would play this song and coming back to this song just takes me back to those days. I love it, amazing song

[@scenes_from_a_life]

cant believe they dont play this stuff live

[@robertgerow670]

They don’t? Like white in general?

[@SoniKast]

You can sing from "What really happened?" to "I should have written her a note" in the verse melody of Ain't Got Nobody

[@Rockesb888]

I think it’s cool Weezer repurposes song parts. Someone else pointed out that the El Scorcho main riff appears in the California Kids chorus.

[@theveronicasfan95]

I love this song so so much! Definitely my favorite off the White Album 💞

[@Rockesb888]

I live the solo. So melodic.

[@donnylemarq2737]

I had a dream about the most incredible girl. Her not existing brought me back to this song.

[@johnconner3395]

Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori was my immediate and overwhelmingly favorite song from the White Album. As I first listened to the album, a found a couple songs (#1 and #4) catchy, but not enough so that I took notice of their name, let alone feel compelled to immediately replay the song again. The fact that I wasn't being instantly hooked by any songs was making me feel increasingly disappointed. Then, I heard Summer Elaine. I was hooked, yanked, and thrown in a pot of euphonic bliss. With bopping head and unbridled smile, I replayed the song three or four times before listening to the rest of the album. I then listened to the whole album again with a new appreciation, and those other tracks that I had found catchy (California Kids and Girl We Got a Good Thing) sunk their hooks deeper into me...and a few others managed to penetrate and grab hold as well. HOWEVER....I am not completely happy with the structure of this song. I would have like to hear a shorter bridge, a 3rd verse and another round of the chorus. I think that the melody of the verse and chorus is far superior to that of the bridge.

The first 8 seconds seems like it would have hope to be a Pinkerton type of song (not including lyrics but definitely including ROCK AND ROLL BITCHES) nevermind it could be ok but still the terrible raditude vibes are still there a little
