Weezer

Weezer - Beverly Hills

It sounds like a B-side from the blue album crossed with Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar on Me". Actually, this song is "Pour Some Sugar on Me". whatever.

10 ways this song could work and be really awesome:

1. Non-boring chord progression
2. Matt Sharp
3. Losing the stupid girls saying "Gimme Gimme" in the chorus and entering Matt Sharp being goofy
4. Matt Sharp
5. That embarrassing cringe worthy guitar solo in the middle of the song
6. Matt Sharp
7. Singing something more interesting than "Beverly Hills That's Where I Want to Be"
8. Matt Sharp
9. Losing the embarrassing guitar noodle at the end of the song.
10. Matt Sharp

Rivers, I give you credit for writing a song that addresses class differences and American idealism. The lyrics are decent. Not great, not bad, but decent. Musically, this is mediocre and boring. Maybe I'll give you a hint of credit for doing that on purpose. But only a hint. You really were missing you old partner in crime on this song.
