I'd rather listen to Toto covering 'Teenage Dirtbag.'

Last time i seen Weezer they covered Teenage Dirtbag an said something along the lines of "This is our biggest hit".

This shortly after explaining to some girls with us that Weezer wouldn't be playing Teenage Dirtbag because it was a Wheatus song. Made me look a right muppet.

You're not wrong - and now I realise I've been doing it for years. Similar names, geeky singers wearing black gegs... Turns out I'm not alone:

Ok, I'll bite!

Have to take exception here, The Only Ones original cannot be bettered, it may not be the best song they ever wrote but as a three minute slice of powerful, driving pop it is nothing short of wonderful and still sounds as brilliant today as it did 40, yes i can't believe it either, 40 years ago. Saw them loads of times, brilliant live, musically superb and had time to talk to us, such a shame Mike Kellie died a couple of years ago, met John Perry a couple of times, would have to go a long way to find a better guitarist. In short I won't hear a word said against them!!

Pointless cover version by Weezer......just sounds like Toto's !
Check out this horrific live version by Toto's original lead singer....he should retire.

That's a Furniture Detectives Song.

Clever boy.

Can I change anything you say or is just for the privileged few?

Let me help you. W-okay so far? e-go steady now. a-ok? r.

Wear. All the cool kids WEAR black gegs.

See, then people won't think you're an uneducated crunt.

Oh, and you're far too old to be a cool kid, or any kind of kid.

Although you act like one. Nobody's fooled.
