Weezer - Mr. Blue Sky

My favorite song from my favorite band. I love the original. It had a sitting in a park feel. This has more of a biking home from school on a Friday evening feel.

I admit that when I was young, and weezer first came along, I was simply a metalhead and didn't really like this band too much until I saw the video for buddy holly in the happy days setting , but remained with the self given label of a metalhead who just liked stuff like slayer , motorhead, sepultura, and heavy bands like them. now a bit older, and I still refer to Lemmy as God , but I have definitely found this band to be one of the better bands to be around in the music world because this is a band with extraordinary talent/ability and a band that transcends beyond any labels , and they have certainly evolved and displayed true staying power. much respect to weezer

Wow!I love Weezer too but just wanna say you have great taste in music.period!!

[@bradpavlicek5337]

weird al , the guy that still has not aged . that dude is more talented than most people will ever realize. so many people will never see the beyond the gimmick to appreciate his actual level of talent . I remember the 90s as a teenager , the 90210 days of everybody trying to be all GQ . trends really dominated & restricted what a lot of the youth of that era were "allowed" to like or do. even I was guilty of that sort of thing a few times back then ; but then again , maybe that era had nothing to do with it and I say that because I work for a school district Maint Dept and today's generation of teenagers are just as bad about image and trends as the 90s generation was .

[@metvelle]

yes totally agree, was into heavier stuff when I was younger but the Buddy Holly video turned me onto them, and as I have gotten older I appreciate them more and more, Weird al is another one, and so is Jonathan Coulton, which is soon releasing a cover album himself of 70's soft rock songs

[@dmarshall5148]
