Too bad they never made an album where I was like those two riding songs. I probably could’ve made one hell of a one off record, even if it lasted for that long..
It’s good to hear the demos finally of the album that made me start writing my own songs way back when. Am I getting my weezer lore wrong here or was Jamie Young their lawyer?
She was. "the song was written for my old attorney and all the new found sense of confidence and security she instilled in me and the lads." - Matt Sharp
The backing vocals on this are Petra from thatdog and Cherilynn Westrich, once the host of Overhaulin' on Motor Trend TV and now an Iowa State Representative.
Shows how essential the sing-song "ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh" refrain and better vocal harmonies are to one of the greatest Indie songs of all time. To say nothing of the violin (in a mélange with Moog and fuzz bass) that would become integral to The Rentals' unique and perfect sound.
