Riff: Weezer – “Ain’t Got Nobody”

Oct 7, 2014

I’ve been so patient/All around the nation/There ain’t no one in all creation

from Ain't Got Nobody lyrics by Weezer

So far, not great. Cuomo laments having no one to “kiss and hug” him with thrown together rhymes over stadium rock, after some radio-staticky “samples” of “where are they now” segments, along with explicit mentions of “rock [being] dead.” The strange metal guitar solos are pretty sweet, though.
