Weezer - The Greatest Man That Ever Lived

Anyone else love this song?



From the wiki:

Quote:
Bass player Scott Shriner was particularly proud of the song saying, "The song 'The Greatest Man That Ever Lived' is a masterpiece that includes ten different styles of music based around a common theme."

In order, the themes are:

1. Rap 0:35
2. Slipknot 1:00
3. Jeff Buckley 1:26
4. Choral 1:51
5. Aerosmith 2:17
6. Nirvana 2:43
7. Andrews Sisters 3:08
8. Green Day 3:33
9. Spoken word (heavily inspired by Elvis' "Are You Lonesome Tonight?") 4:06
10. Bach 4:37
11. Beethoven 4:54
12. Weezer 5:10
Oh, and don't try to match the times above up to the video - it won't work.

Love it! LOL

You have to hear it a few times to really appreciate the different music styles.
