“Pork and Beans” was inspired by a meeting with Geffen in which Weezer was told to try to make more commercial music. The song is Weezer’s response, which ironically became pretty famous (although maybe that was the plan).
It also earned much fame from its music video, showcasing plenty of internet...
[Verse 1]
They say I need some Rogaine to put in my hair
Working out at the gym to fit my underwear
Oakley makes the shades that transform a tool
You'd hate for the kids to think that you lost your cool
[Chorus]
I'ma do the things that I wanna do
I ain't got a thing to prove to you
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans
Excuse my manners if I make a scene
[Post-Chorus]
I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like
I'm fine and dandy with the me inside
One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink
I don't give a hoot about what you think
[Verse 2]
Everyone likes to dance to a happy song, hey, hey
With a catchy chorus and beat so they can sing along, hey, hey
Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts, hey!
Maybe if I work with him, I can perfect the art
[Chorus]
I'ma do the things that I wanna do
I ain't got a thing to prove to you
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans
Excuse my manners if I make a scene
[Post-Chorus]
I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like
I'm fine and dandy with the me inside
One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink
I don't give a hoot about what you think
[Bridge]
No, I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
[Chorus]
I'ma do the things that I wanna do
I ain't got a thing to prove to you
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans
Excuse my manners if I make a scene
[Post-Chorus]
I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like
I'm fine and dandy with the me inside
One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink
I don't give a hoot about what you think
Pork and Beans was written by Rivers Cuomo.
Pork and Beans was produced by Jacknife Lee.
Weezer released Pork and Beans on Mon Jun 16 2008.
According to Rivers Cuomo in the Red Album deluxe edition liner notes:
It’s actually me saying, “Hey,” and then I sped it up an octave. It actually sounds like a Timbaland kind of production; he has little baby crying types of sounds.
