It makes my ears bleed :(. Seriously, I've enjoyed every Weezer release, even the less popular Green Album and Maladroit, but this song is just bad. Hopefully the rest of the album is better.

[LPMagic]

That's not really Weezer is it??? Say it ain't so!!!

i'm in love with this song. i've had it on repeat for a day now. if any other band did this song, it wouldn't be good. but somehow, weezer pulled it off.

perfect song for the first day of summer when you're driving around naked and yelling at people.

[smalltownsburn]

I like it.

[derricklc22]

I like it.
When I first heard it, I didnt believe it, but by the time the 2nd verse came on I was hooked. Its catchy to me, I like it a lot but not what I was expecting, but good nevertheless.

[Justan]

this is grand!

[thebestkylever]

hooray for porn solos!

[smalltownsburn]

If you're someone who this is a shock to I don't understand you, it's sooo Weezer haha.

Couldn't agree any more..I don't think anybody expected it to sound like this..but i love and havent stopped listening to it since I heard it last night.

[Burnout2888]

What the fuck?

This song makes me laugh, and not because it isn't good, it's alright... but I dunno, something about it.

[splitsecond]

Hmmmm

I love this song. The verses are like a subdued El Scorcho, and the beat reminds me of Blast Off, even if the song sounds nothing like it.

[staticpain]

Given the name of the cd, and given the name of the song, it works very well. The song is titled Beverly Hills for christ sake, its very californiaish. Its like a movie star song eh? Haha I dunno. I love it,

[Drew Beringer]

I like it, it just takes a couple listens to get into it. but it's good.

[PaperclipAnemia]

I like it, it just takes a couple listens to get into it. but it's good.
i expect them to start singing "If You Want To Destroy This Sweater....." at any moment.

[blink621]

I'm not exactly sure what to think quite yet... I'll have to hear more to form an opinion...

[PostRoman]

if any other band in the world created this song, no one would like it. it's the same thing over and over again.. how is it good? i dont understand.

[nfggc10]

i believe i heard they only recorded this bc their label wanted them to have "radio single" on the record and that they don't even like this song.......i hope that's the case so i only have to skip one song on the cd........i hope this grows on me more though

[EvilButters]

This is really weird. It's definitely Weezer and I expected the unexpected since it's Weezer...but it's still a little weird to me. I can definitely see this growing on me though.

[oxfordqueef]

it's weezer baby.

[musicpunk7]

im liking this alot

[captiveCLOWN]

I'd have to hear the rest of the album...This could be like "In The Garage"...and as long as there is a "Say It Ain't So" on Make Believe, I'm set.

[Cocky Caucasion]

Here's my thought... This song is a good radio song. It sounds like classic blue album weezer mixed with a little pinkerton. You have to remember that this is the radio single that they made for Geffen. To me, this already sounds better then the green album and maladroit. If this is the worst song on the cd then I'm even more excited for this release.

[poppa Q]

Weezer fans, unite!

I'm in complete agreement with you.

[beefhung]

i'm waiting for someone to do a mash up: undone vs. beverly hills

[ajackwithoneeye]

The song's good, if only for the fact that they clap through the whole thing...

[I Miss Weezer]

:soapbox: I'm bummed, I wanted to hear more rock then that.

[reav]

my fashion sense is a little whack as well.

[Nate_RAWKS]

I'm down

[The Silencer]

I'm down
nate: you rawk, and I completely agree, BAMBOOZLE SOON BABY! :animateds

[Nate_RAWKS]

nate: you rawk, and I completely agree, BAMBOOZLE SOON BABY! :animateds

I cannot wait 6 more weeks (damn that seems longer said like that)

Bamboozle soon baby!!!!

[thesego211]

This song is good. Fun Weezer, can't complain. I can't wait for this cd, I've been listening to the Blue album and Pinkerton non-stop preparing for it. Go Rivers!

[earthvsralph]

for some reason i kept expecting him to say he was a teenager dirtbag...baby

[IAPAI]

They did exactly what they said they'd do: go back to the old Weezer days. I think people must not have actualy believed that's what they would do when they say it's repetitive and that if any other band came out with it no one would like it.. This is classic Weezer, and I'm into it.

[waggy]

i like it a lot. i've only listened to it once so far, and i've been singing it nonstop ever since. sounds more like a weezer song than anything on maladroit. to me it sounds somwhere in between blue and green.

[Basketcase]

i like this song. sounds very Pinkertonish. the guitar effects are pretty sweet :D

[RJ Proof]

i dont see how any of u think this song sounds like "old weezer"(blue, pinkerton)...this song is garbage comparitively to any songs off those albums....it sounds more like a green album track or maldriot....

[Cocky Caucasion]

not really but good try.

[yanggoh]

after a few listens, i really really like this song.

i'm calling it right now: the weezer we all love is back, album of the year hands down.

[CIMA]

The song is excellent.

[fgevilmonkey]

I agree with your first thought, disagree with your last two- I really like this song, but let's allow this possibility into our heads here: this song sounds like a track off of Make Believe... follow? People are trying so hard to place it into a past Weezer album, when all signs point to this being an album with a slightly different sound from any of them. Haven't we learned this already from Weezer, who has released four really, really different albums?

[Kid Defender]

Ha ha, yeah this song makes me laugh but I dig it a lot. I just wish there wasnt that chick talking in the background during the chorus. I am really really looking forward to the new cd.

[ihatethekids]

this sounds exactly like a chunky version of Steve Miller Band's "The Joker".

minus the pot.

soo. yeah.

Weezer?
hello?


Matt Sharp?


You got some bro's to call.

Homeboy can't write a record without a certain mans falsetto vocals involved.

[mediocrgreenday]

sounds like beck..

[Signals Corrupted]

this is a little bland... im just a bit worried..

[poppa Q]

everyone just keep in mind, this is their radio single for geffen, and their least favorite song on the album. i think the key word for beverly hills is this: fun.

[earthvsralph]

that wasn't even remotely close to being clever.


.........this song is going to get some heavy play time over here. i've been waiting on the edge of my seat since the video shoot. hearing it so much that day and then not being able to have any until now was tough but worth it. i can't wait for this cd.

about as clever as "my automobile is crap/my fashion sens is wack". this is disapointing. the music is completely repetetive and it seems like they're trying to be bad. but you're right this deserves heavy play on the radio for being completely digestable.

[GAD_guy]

when this song started off i couldn't believe how terrible it was. awful lyrics, overly simple music, and rivers' voice sounded like the dude from cake or beck or soemthing. but i guess it redeems itself eventually and ends up being just barely decent. really hope this is the worst song on the album.

[Albi549]

This song pretty good i think , its something new (sort of) and this song will grow on all of us so lets just hope for the record to be amazing

[In-This-Moment]

Haha, this song is so funky! Totally not what I expected, but definetly neat. I know that weezer will bring greater things on the album, but for a first single, I'm content.

[IPS Josh]

This song fucking sucks. Bring on the negative scene points for me simply being honest! lol'dxorz.

dfhds

[NoseOverTail]

It's a fun song. And it fits with the whole album theme of "Make Believe"... I've still got 100% faith that this will be their best since Pinkerton.

[Robb]

Terrible.

[tsrshorty]

is the girl in the chorus saying do me, do me? cause thats totally what it sounds like.

[straylightfun87]

shes saying " gimme gimme"

[thewk]

this song is great. regardless of it being weezer, it's a great song.

[VeloriumCamper]

this song is great. regardless of it being weezer, it's a great song.
its alright...it grew on me......

ps : is it just me or is there so many NEW people on this site the last couple days

[derricklc22]

There are a lot of new ppl....oh well I like people so I guess I dont got a problem with it

actually, another band basically already did this song. listen to "teenage dirtbag" and then listen to "beverly hills" again. the music is almost exactly the same, just in a different key. if the rest of this album isn't infinitely better, i'm just going to pretend as if weezer stopped making music after pinkerton.

they did didnt they? they just have a few gems like photograph and island in the sun right?

[letschorock]

The drum roll intro is classic Pat Wilson-excellent
The song is not the weezer that everyone wants to here, the weezer that I want to here. That's not important to Rivers, though. He's always wanted to do some pseudo rapping in a song and do the cheese stadium rock thing like Kiss; he got that here. If that guy (Rivers) wasn't so weird we might actually get some monumental stuff again from these guys. After this single I'm scared for the album. I loved maladroit, not so much the green album, but this make believe seems like Rivers threw away the 200 songs we would have loved to hear and saved the ten songs he liked. Pat needs to take control of that band and start making stuff rock like the Special Goodness and powepop weezer from '94-'97. The only totally great thing about this song is the peter frampton solo in the middle, that's great. Has anyone seen recover do that live-it's sick. Anyway, let's cross our fingers that this is "THE" fun song on the record and the rest is more stiff rock. Let's get rockin'.

good first post buddy

You'd have to be looking really hard to compare those two songs. Teenage Dirtbag is possibly the most awful song I've ever heard.

[Nate_RAWKS]

good first post buddy


yeah no shit!!!! This guy knows what he's talking about.

i know, i've heard the song. the band is wheatus. the music is the same or similar, but it doesnt have that weezer edge to it. i love this song. fun as hell a-la buddy holly

i love that song.

[JimmyIymmiJ]

for better or for worse, it's pretty much what i've come to expect from weezer....

[jones160]

absolute boring crap. it better get better than this. XXXjones160XXX

[irthesteve]

hmmm... fist listen its alright, but it will probably grow on me, especially when theres the godo quality version. it seems all together a bit too subdued thou...

[slim reaper]

no, all you have to do is hear the music. i put it on and two of my roommates (without even knowing what it was) turned around and made a "teenage dirtbag" comment and i just laughed because i was thinking the same thing.

[slim reaper]

i know, i've heard the song. the band is wheatus. the music is the same or similar, but it doesnt have that weezer edge to it. i love this song. fun as hell a-la buddy holly
i contend that this is neither as fun nor as good as buddy holly. also, what do you know about the blue album? you were like 6 when it came out.

[slim reaper]

they did didnt they? they just have a few gems like photograph and island in the sun right?
well, that's true, but up until now i've just been telling myself that they hit a slump. who knows, maybe this song will grow on me or will sound better in the context of the album, but i don't dig it and i don't know if i can keep believing they'll be good again.

[Mitch]

The download isn't up anymore UGHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhh if someone saved it, can u send it to me on instant message: sn is : Im A Jew 07

thanx

edit: nvm, im an idiot and just didnt see the download links...

[Cocky Caucasion]

I'm usually very picky about my music but I think this is good. The lyrics are cheesy as hell but so are a lot of weezer lyrics.
Weezer probably didnt put much effort into this song because geffen was making them make it.

[bostonHxC]

weak

[DenverHarbor22]

i contend that this is neither as fun nor as good as buddy holly. also, what do you know about the blue album? you were like 6 when it came out.

Because younger people can't appreciate classic albums. You cant tell me you dont like records from before you were born. Yes so the age factor is null and void.

no, all you have to do is hear the music. i put it on and two of my roommates (without even knowing what it was) turned around and made a "teenage dirtbag" comment and i just laughed because i was thinking the same thing.

We really care what your stupid roommates think. For all we know they may actually like the Wheetus bullshit.

[MidniteVulture]

HEY GUYS, THE BAND HAS ALREADY SAID THAT THEY WROTE THIS SO THAT IT WOULD BE ON THE RADIO, SO I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT THIS IS THEIR ATTEMPT TO BE SERIOUS.

Jesus Christ.

It sounds like Weezer meets Rick Rubin, I like it, it is what it is and it accomplishes its goal.

they have these things now a days called record stores. maybe you've seen them. when albums are released, they go up for "sale" and you can "purchase them." it's a grand idea. even albums that have been out for 10+ years. so, the "blue album," is available for people to buy! no matter what their age is!

[FalloutGuy]

hooray for porn solos!
Man I was laughing pretty hard after hearing that part

[FalloutGuy]

Damn this is such a blast it full volume song. I can't wait do so. :animateds I'm so hooked. The album is gonna be amazing if this is the worst song.

[johnarc]

for the past ten years, weezer has been one of my all time favorite bands. I mean, hell, I even use weezer as my passwords for many things (not here though, har har). anyway, after hearing this single, I no longer want to listen to weezer. I will not buy this album. I will not endorse the tours. they really just need to stop. here's how we can get weezer back.

a. kick out scott shriner. he is the stupidest bassist weezer ever had. I hate him.

b. get matt sharp back in. matt held it down those first two albums. everyone gives rivers credit, but matt sharp had a lot of songwriting imput on the blue album and pinkerton.

c. get rivers some meds. get him back to earth. I don't know what he's doing. the lyrics in this song are awful. I'm pretty sure he no longer cares about music.

I don't know. I saw weezer on their last tour and they played mostly blue and pinkerton stuff. I thought that was a good sign. I was wrong. this is the worst weezer song I've ever heard.

this song is tragic

[LostInTheCrowd]

I like the chicks voice the most about this song.

[danielplaysbass]

it took a while to grow on me..but i'm really diggin this...can't wait to see them at the warfield!

[FalloutGuy]

I still got it playin :animateds

[richie]

beverly hiiiiiills! that's where i want to be!

it sounds soooo cool for a party :animateds

but it sounds sooo bad if i think it's a weezer song.
let's really hope it's their attempt to get radio airplay...

[ishotthepilot]

this song is absolutely no fun at all. none of that usual weezer boppiness that's even present in the depressing songs, and none of the thick/fullness of sound... weird.

i'm gonna pretend i never heard it.

[JimmyIymmiJ]

i love the fact that everyone on here either thinks this is the greatest song ever or the worst song ever...

[emergency&i]

i like the song. its pretty cool. lately ive been listening to pinkerton a lot. cool

[DroppedUrPocket]

Weezer...? Or CAKE?! You decide.

[ishotthepilot]

Weezer...? Or CAKE?! You decide.

ha youre completely right! it's a long lost Cake song.

[surfwaxsideshow]

I like it. The solos suck because of the effect but oh well. The rest of the album will be better.

This song sounds an awful lot like I Swear It's True, Blast Off, El Scorcho, etc. Which is a good thing. If you are going to take influence from past songs, take it from the best of the best.

Scott fucking rules, he may not have the falsetto that matt has but he is good at his instrument and is all that matters. Blame rivers for putting out two albums that don't live up to the first two; I honestly don't think Matt would have made either of them any better than they were. Although if he hadn't quit and the band never went on hiatus from 97-00, the early third album stuff (rivers cuomo band/homie songs) was fucking incredible.

can I get an amen brother. Those all sound like great ideas. Matt really did help the songwriting. we need to get good stuff out of these guys because they're capable of it. they just need to relax like back in "94

that early third album stuff is unbelievalbe. get a hold of it if you can, everyone

[CrimsonDawn]

i contend that this is neither as fun nor as good as buddy holly. also, what do you know about the blue album? you were like 6 when it came out.

And I contend that you're a dumbass. I'm sure there are all kinds of complex things you can appreciate about an album at 11 that you can't at 6, but you know what? I'm older than either of you and I agree with him. I saw your post and I had to get this account just to tell you how retarded you are.
