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.

I want you to
The moon was shinin' on the lake that night.
The Slayer t-shirt fit the scene just right.
Through smeared mascara, I looked into your eyes and saw a light.
You told me stories about your chickadees
They didn't like BB guns or stupid archery.
You charmed the lifeguard, he let them use the pool all day for free.
Then the conversation stopped and I looked down at my feet.
I was next to you and you were right there next to me.
Then I said, 'Girl, if you're wondering if I want you to, I want you to.
So make the move. Cause I ain't got all night.
The rest of the summer was the best we ever had.
We watched Titanic and it didn't make us sad.
I took you to Best Buy, you took me home to meet your mom and dad.
Your mom cooked meatloaf even though I don't eat meat.
I dug you so much I took some fortity.
Your dad was silent. His eyes were fixed to what was on TV.
Then the conversation stopped and I looked down at the ring.
Your folks were next to you and you were right there next to me.
Then I said, 'Girl, if you're wondering if I want you to, I want you to.
I swear it's true. Without you, my heart is blue.
Ooohwhoa Girl, if you're wondering if I want you to, I want you to.
So make a move. Cause I ain't got all night.'
So much pain may come our way.
There may come a day when we have nothing left to say.
When the conversation stops and we're facing our defeat.
I'll be next to you and you'll be right there next to me.
Then I'll say, 'Girl, if you're wondering if I want you to, I want you to.
I swear it's true. Without you my heart is blue.
Ooohwhoa Go, if you're wondering if I want you to, I want you to.
So make a move. Cause I ain't got all night.'
