Haha, amy. They actually expanded their horizons and proved further they have a grasp of complicated harmony etc. Its a great song, while a few parts are eh. I found it impressive. |

harmonies dont make up for an intro that doesnt suit weezer. it sounds like nonsense. what kind of song changes genres every eight bars? its annoying like fall of troy |

this song.. really sucks. i understand it's supposed to be a parody, but the lyrics are really cliche and just painful to listen to. it seems like they were trying to go for a bohemian rhapsody kind of feel, but just ended up with an epic failure that's choppy and plain annoying |

guys, guys... are parodies ever cliche free? the point is that people make a career of being cliche. is rivers trying to tell us he's the "greatest man?" unlikely |

It's a cool song. I'm sure the music majors out there can find plenty of ways to pick it apart (as you can with just about any track), but it's a good listen... |

A song that changes between different styles/moods/etc. is called a Rhapsody... |

I loved this song too! I don't know if anyone else would agree but it kinda reminded me of Green Day's style of how they made some of their songs on the "American Idiot" album. Like, how "Jesus of Suburbia" sounded like 5 different songs on 1 track. I don't know. That's my opinion! But nonetheless, it's another GREAT song by WEEZER! |

I love it, don't know why fans or listeners are always against change. Sometimes change is good.. and this is one of those examples. |

3.0 out of 10
I'm actually not sure exactly how i feel about this track.. kinda off from the norm & trying something new isn't bad, but i think ill learn to extremely love this one or completely hate it idk my excitement isn't too high on this one |

Not too fond of the intro after the piano part is over, but great song once you get into it |

This is a great tune that really took me by surprise. I heard on the radio while driving and at first, I turned the song down like it was a peice of crap; but then I noticed that the song changed like, every eight bars and then I began to appreciate what this song did. Weezer can Rap, Harmonize, Musical Narrative and write some pretty cool licks. But I have one problem with this song. They stole the tune (the piano tune which the whole song is based on) from an old folk song called, "Tis a Gift to be Simple." I can't help but feel that declaring, "I'm the greatest man that ever lived" using the music from, "Tis a gift to be simple" was a smart idea; actually its kind of ironic. |

This is by far the best song off the red album. i hate it when people say that it doesnt have a weezer intro or doesnt sound like weezer. thats bulls--t, people need to realize weezer is expanding their style of music. this is an awesome song and its great to see weezer trying new things. so stop picking the song apart and just enjoy it. s--t! |

this song has been stuck in my head for a while now.....its a good song and its also at the same time very creative the way it feels like a whole bunch of different songs put in to one. WEEZER ROCKS MY SOCKS >:D lol |
this song sucks.
it's like they took every horrible, cliche part about music and threw it into one song.
>.<
