In 2010, Weezer released a new album, titled ‘Hurley’, based upon a character from American TV show, ‘Lost’.The actor who plays Hurley, Jorge Garcia is even featured on the band’s album cover.The band used internet site, YouTube, in order to advertise the new album, taking an unconventional way to do so as it is usually done through TV advertisements and posters etc. Pissing in plastic cups before we went on stagePlaying hackey sack back when Audioslave was still RageWatching all the freaky Dutch kids vomit then have sexListening to techno music on the bus while we earned our checksMemories make me want to go back there, back thereAll the memories make me want to go back there, back thereAll the memories, how can we make it back there, back thereI want be there againMessing with the journalists and telling stupid liesThey had a feeling that something was upBecause of the look in our eyesIn fact we didn't know what we were doing half of the timeWe were so sure of ourselves and sure of our way through lifeMemories make me want to go back there, back thereAll the memories make me want to go back there, back thereAll the memories, how can we make it back there, back thereI want be there againNow I got so many people that I got to look out forNever know when I'll become awake and buy some food at the store can hear them babies crying and the lawn needs to be mowedI gotta get my groove on because I'm freakin bored!Memories make me want to go back there, back thereAll the memories make me want to go back there, back thereAll the memories, how can we make it back there, back thereI want be there againThe lyrics to Weezer’s song ‘Memories’ are a reference to themselves and based upon the bands own experiences, a postmodern element to their music.The song is used in the film ‘Jackass 3D’ and the cast of the film are in the music video with the band themselves, something commonly used within Weezer’s videos. Weezer is an American band made up of four members Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Brian Bell and Scott Shriner, formed in 1992, in Los Angeles, California.The band are most commonly classed as ‘alternative rock’ due to their incorporation of several different genres within their music.‘What made them special was their uncanny ability to put a harmony-filled power-pop spin on hard rock.’
