Weezer, una de las bandas más icónicas del rock alternativo, se formó en Los Ángeles, California, en 1992. El grupo surgió de la unión de cuatro talentosos músicos: Rivers Cuomo (vocalista y guitarrista), Patrick Wilson (baterista), Matt Sharp (bajista) y Jason Cropper (guitarrista). Esta formación inicial sentó las bases de lo que sería una carrera larga y llena de éxitos.
Rivers Cuomo, el motor creativo del grupo, había pasado por diversas experiencias musicales antes de fundar Weezer. Influenciado por bandas como The Pixies y The Beach Boys, Rivers comenzó a componer canciones que combinaban letras introspectivas con melodías pegajosas. La visión de Cuomo y la química entre los miembros de la banda rápidamente captaron la atención de las discográficas.
En 1994, Weezer lanzó su primer álbum de estudio, comúnmente conocido como “The Blue Album” debido a su distintiva carátula azul. Producido por Ric Ocasek de The Cars, el álbum fue un éxito inmediato tanto comercial como críticamente. Canciones como "Buddy Holly", "Say It Ain't So" y "Undone – The Sweater Song" se convirtieron en himnos generacionales.
El éxito de "The Blue Album" catapultó a Weezer al estrellato. Sus vídeos musicales innovadores y llenos de humor también ayudaron a establecer su imagen pública. El vídeo de "Buddy Holly", que homenajeaba a la serie de televisión “Happy Days”, ganó varios premios y se convirtió en un clásico de la era de MTV.

Summer time, I press rewind
And go back to a simple place
When I was just a little punk
Daydreaming of my escape
Listening to Aerosmith
Later on I will call my mom
Now I'm pluggin' in to a Marshall stack
I can be anything I want
I need some of that
It's just what I need
I need some of that
We'll be riding our ten-speeds
I need some of that
Even if we blow up, we're never gonna grow up
This is where it's at
I've been around, around the world
And I've seen all kinds of hoods
But this is mine, it's dear to me
'Cause here I'm understood
'Cause I need some of that
Don't ever leave me
I need some of that
There's nothing on TV
I need some of that
Even if we blow, we're never gonna grow up
This is where it's at
Even when the sun was fading
I was in my hatchback raging
Riding up and down this block
'Cause I own this block
I need some of that
It's just what I need
I need some of that
We'll be riding our ten-speeds
Even if we blow up, we're never gonna grow up
'Cause this is where it's at
I need some of that
Shake it up baby
I need some of that
You're driving me crazy
I need some of that
Even if we blow up, we're never gonna grow up
'Cause I need some of that
