Yes, that's the point. Even though he sounds mediocre in live, the studio recordings are not subject for artificial tuning of the vocalist's voice either
He doesnt use many vocal effects in the studio, thats apparent, but have you ever heard of Chris Cornell or Layne Stayley? Ann Wilson? These are singers far above him, who also sound just like the record. Weezer is honestly a thing all their own in my opinion. He has a Kurt Cobain thing going on, where he really isn't the best singer or guitarist, but he can write some amazing songs.
I don't know why people hate on the other version of the song. At the end where Brian and Scott sing "Perfect situation..." while Rivers is singing the "Oh" parts makes the song a whole lot better, in my opinion.
Right now this is my favorite song ever. I love Weezer and I'm waiting for them to play either in Milwaukee or somewhere close to me. Hint hint....come and play more in Wisconsin guys!!!
What's the deal with my brain? Why am I so obviously insane? In a perfect situation I let love down the drain. There's the pitch, slow and straight. All I have to do is swing and I'm the hero, but I'm the zero. Hungry nights, once again Now it's getting unbelievable. 'Cause I could not have it better, But I just can't get no play From the girls, all around As they search the night for someone to hold onto. I just pass through... singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Get your hands off the girl, Can't you see that she belongs to me? And I don't appreciate this excess company. Though I can't satisfy all the needs she has And so she starts to wander... Can you blame her? singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Tell me there's a logic out there. Leading me to better prepare For the day that something really special might come. Tell me there's some hope for me. I don't wanna be lonely For the rest of my days on the earth. [solo] Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Singing... Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh. Singing... Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
by far one of my favorite bands... i love them live...always on with the vocals and what not. they wont record what they cant reproduce live. Rivers is always spot on.
this song will never get old 2 me...honestly i hopeu guys believe me but I'm going through so much drama and heartbreak and when i listenend 2 this song he just spoke 2 me and made me smile again 2 the point where i want 2 move 4ward and not feel bad any longer...rivers cuomo is one human being i wana meet one day! weezer and foo fighters and hoobastank are my idols (and nirvana and incubus of course) lol
It’s hilarious how Pat messes up right at the start lol but good recovery. This original version is 100x better than the newer one they replaced it with too
To be fair (and I'm a huge Weezer fan), a lot of Weezer songs are very easy to play (mainly power chords) and aren't hard to pick up. However, I think that's why he's so greatly underrated... he can really shred (as seen in concerts), but he just seems not to as much on the albums.
@ATLB505 I know how you feel dude, I'm in Band and six months ago we marched the parade in my hometown of San Antonio, TX. The cutest girl ever who's in Color Guard talks to me and I completely freeze up like every nerd does. Then I begin making conversation, and to this day we are an ever so happy couple. :) So don't worry. your time will come. I'm sure of it.
ฝรั่ง spell like 'Fa-rang'. It is a thai word to call white caucasian people who have different looks from asian and this word was from when Portuguese step inside the country and thai people just couldn't pronounce "Foreigner". So it went from foreigner to fa-rang.
That opening solo is flat out amazing. So sick.
And the solo in the middle of the song after the rushed lines!! Two amazing guitar solos!
He's such a clean soloist...
Since this song came out while i was in high school back in 2005/2006 this has been one of my favorite songs by W.
This song used to be one of my favorite Weezer songs .. until i saw this .. then it became THE best Weezer song for me! 3
I feel like this is one of those songs I'll still relate to years down the line.
Still relate?
Rivers is one of the few artist that can sing well live.
+Jinx Torres Yeah, he sounds pretty much exactly like if he was in the studio. It's great
Exactly what I was thinking. He's the real deal.
Jinx Torres
Exactly. He sounds just really good live!
Yes, that's the point.
Even though he sounds mediocre in live, the studio recordings are not subject for artificial tuning of the vocalist's voice either
He doesnt use many vocal effects in the studio, thats apparent, but have you ever heard of Chris Cornell or Layne Stayley? Ann Wilson?

The ending is cool, but the chorus on the other version just doesn't sound as good.
these guys are artists! this song is awesome and they preform like gods.
i thought it was in my head that he sang the chorus a bit different. the updated version is equally as good but i miss this version lmao
I had so much fun singing this song when I saw them last year
Miss those 240p days...
Right now this is my favorite song ever. I love Weezer and I'm waiting for them to play either in Milwaukee or somewhere close to me. Hint hint....come and play more in Wisconsin guys!!!
It's the coolest thing ever to hear the crowd singing this live in person.
The story of my life
What's the deal with my brain?
Why am I so obviously insane?
In a perfect situation
I let love down the drain.
There's the pitch, slow and straight.
All I have to do is swing
and I'm the hero, but I'm the zero.
Hungry nights, once again
Now it's getting unbelievable.
'Cause I could not have it better,
But I just can't get no play
From the girls, all around
As they search the night for someone to hold onto.
I just pass through...
singing...
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Singing...
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Get your hands off the girl,
Can't you see that she belongs to me?
And I don't appreciate this excess company.
Though I can't satisfy all the needs she has
And so she starts to wander...
Can you blame her?
singing...
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Singing...
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Tell me there's a logic out there.
Leading me to better prepare
For the day that something really special might come.
Tell me there's some hope for me.
I don't wanna be lonely
For the rest of my days on the earth.
[solo]
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Singing...
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Singing...
Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

xtremely great...
by far one of my favorite bands...
i love them live...always on with the vocals and what not. they wont record what they cant reproduce live. Rivers is always spot on.
hes one of the best live singers
this song will never get old 2 me...honestly i hopeu guys believe me but I'm going through so much drama and heartbreak and when i listenend 2 this song he just spoke 2 me and made me smile again 2 the point where i want 2 move 4ward and not feel bad any longer...rivers cuomo is one human being i wana meet one day! weezer and foo fighters and hoobastank are my idols (and nirvana and incubus of course) lol
Their best song in my humble opinion!!!
I love Rivers' incredibly nerdy yet badass style...it's so intriguing and the perfect combination. the man is a genius.
It’s hilarious how Pat messes up right at the start lol but good recovery. This original version is 100x better than the newer one they replaced it with too
great live and a great song, this is my favourite version of it.
my favorite song frommm Weeezer!!!
To be fair (and I'm a huge Weezer fan), a lot of Weezer songs are very easy to play (mainly power chords) and aren't hard to pick up. However, I think that's why he's so greatly underrated... he can really shred (as seen in concerts), but he just seems not to as much on the albums.
IM goin to see them in two weeks!!! WEEZER ROCKS!!!
2021 and still rocks 🤘🤘
i feel like im listening to this for the first time again
Fuckin good! one of my favorite band's of the 90's
they sound great live
such good vibes
That's the greatest thing I've ever read in my entire life.
The original version's "ooh"s are so much better. Very glad I found this.
Gotta love the intro, so good.
i am so happy that i saw them when i did.
ooh nice save, pat. at :02. good to see the pros mess up arrangement sometimes too. that's a scary moment for a drummer.
this is so good live wowowohw;oahw
i love what rivers is wearing btw
Gotta love a song that starts with a guitar solo.
that was a good show in all. weezer was awesome and im a big blink fan
I kept singing ohh~ when she's out. If i get her back i'll have to play this song at my wedding
the video is the radio edit..i think you can tell by the length of the intro
that is the best solo of all mankind. 2nd best is say it aint so. its easy but passionate
that was really really good. it's awesome that brian was playing keyboards too.
The Weezer logo is quite similar to Wonder Woman's logo. :)
its a Van Halen rip.
:)
Perfect situation. Very nice.
Now also our perfect situation or moment is coming to us.
great solos!!!
awesome guitar solo
ปรัง mean in a literal sense" a white foreigner." it's a Thai word if anyone's wondering
PERFECT SITUATION!!!!!!!
I always like the dude's style.
what looks nolmal for you jkbauer1991. its not just normal, its amazing!!!
great solo of all time. short but complicated. well besides the solo from say it aint so

The cutest girl ever who's in Color Guard talks to me and I completely freeze up like every nerd does. Then I begin making conversation, and to this day we are an ever so happy couple. :) So don't worry. your time will come. I'm sure of it.

WEEEZERRRRRRRRR
just went to the blink/weezer where blink was headlining... weezer definitly outshone them :D

ฝรั่ง spell like 'Fa-rang'. It is a thai word to call white caucasian people who have different looks from asian and this word was from when Portuguese step inside the country and thai people just couldn't pronounce "Foreigner". So it went from foreigner to fa-rang.
me too a lot of times :(
nerds rules baaaabeeee
Rivers is the man.
i like this chorus better!!
i went last night and weezer was really really good, but blink defenitley outplayed them. Blink was just amazing!
He needs the session guitarist to play the chords when he does his solos.
his jaw is freaking me out lol
awesome! :D:D:D:D
this song gets me high
@3939allen how?!?!? blink and weezer are 2 great bands!
