"Hello" "My" "Dear" "Students", "We chose the name Weezer because we thought the word sounded cool" "And we named the album Hurley because we thought that word was cool as well!" "That was horrible.. it's detention for all of you" "Naming the band and album after words that you thought we cool? Right! On the other hand... "Hey guys, I have a great idea..." |
