Songs where the singer tells you exactly two things they have… no more, no less.
He literally has a spreadsheet of neat phrases categorized by rhythm and syllable count so that he can word salad a song together. I love Weezer songs, but the lyrics have no meaning beyond what the listener brings with them.
So, when I first saw your comment I was pretty sure I’d heard this on a podcast, and yep, it was the episode from your edit! I’d have to listen again to see if Rivers got specific about when he started with the spreadsheet system, but I don’t think it’s something he’s always been doing.
But back when I listened to the episode, finding out about the spreadsheet made a ton of sense, because I’d low-key suspected Weezer lyrics to be jumbles of random ideas… though I don’t get that feeling from the first two albums, at least.
That’s just the Riversest thing I’ve ever heard.
I know, right? It is a pretty great interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5TW0FHEC94
