What is the name of weezer’s big hit, the one that’s kinda slow and every now and then they go “do do”, can’t explain it anyother way.
Island in the Sun?
Is that the one that’s getting airplay now? The one that sounds like the harmonies were ripped off from They Might Be Giants?
Weezer actually had a hit?
Luna’s right. It’s “Island in th Sun”
Weezer has had several hit songs. I would consider Buddy Holly, Undone, Island in the Sun, and Hash Pipe hits for sure, and there are a couple others that got pretty big airplay, but I can’t remember their titles.
And yes, that song is “Island in the Sun”
Their biggest hit, and the one that put them on the map, is Sweater Song from their first album.
I love Weezer.
DaLovin’ Dj
Undone = The Sweater Song

I always thought it sounded more like “hep hep.”
I rolled down the windows in my car and blasted it when it came on the radio today. Oh yeah!
I went to a Weezer concert last week, even though I only know their big hits (the ones Ooner mentioned). It was kind of weird, going to a concert to determine whether or not I like the band. Not the way most people do it, I suppose.
Actually, I’ve recently found myself going to concerts of bands I’m just sort of familiar with (incl. Weezer) to see if I like them or not. It’s probably more accurate than making that determination based on a CD, and usually not much more expensive either.
And I hear “hep hep” in that song too.
They are saying “hep hep/hip hip.”
And bernse, them’s fightin’ words. I’ll meet you outside by the bike racks at 3:30pm.
For my money, “Buddy Holly” is one of the best sing-along-in -your-car songs around. The video was a hoot, too.
The Buddy Holly video is on the Windows 95 CD if anyone wants to check it out and still has it hanging around.
Weezer is THE most under-rated badn of the 90’s. I am a hardcore kid at heart, but I have always had a special place in my heart for weezer. They are fantastic writers. THey are by far the softest albumn in my collection, but I listen to them all the time. My little 2 year old girl loves the new CD. Pinkerton was so under-rated. The thing that sunk them is that they got grouped in with the grunge scene in the early 90’s and died with it. They are not even grunge.
I cant say enough about this band. Awsome. Buddy Holly has my favorite guitar solo of any song ever.
El Scorcho!!
