Weezer - Rosanna Lyrics

This version is a travesty

Toto very under appreciated

This isn’t a good cover.

Little known fact, Weezer is actually Toto's members' sons.

the autotune is just awful

Pat Wilson pulled of one of the trickiest beats of all time.

Does anybody realize how well Pat Wilson plays Porcaro's shuffle beat. Extremely difficult to play so perfectly. Color me impressed. I'm a professional drummer as well.

Scott Shriner: We just wanted to do “Rosanna” for fun. It has such an insane drum beat, (drummer Patrick Wilson) took it as a personal mission to master it.

@wormspeaker Thank you for the inside info about it..
Weezer is one of my favorite band to listen to. All of your songs are so well played and layered & arranged. I do think that your Rossanna
is better than Toto's.
My opinion. Still , Weezer well played

🤚🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Yes, this song is notoriously difficult and this is not half bad but that autotune kills the feeling.

Rosanna Shuffle is not quite there. But solid effort 👍🏽

Ridiculously pitch corrected vocals! Why would they have those ghost notes so hot!? Listen to the original!

Made me lose my lunch - jeez why does this even exist?

Sounds weird

Wow, they did this justice.

Obviously the drummer had a problem ... it's rumbling. ;-)

Good cover but nothing compares to the original, a perfect rock song!

Missing the low resin part

The drummer can't play the Porcaro shuffle ^^

The groove is not nearly as clean as the original

On one hand, thanks for keeping this music alive. On the other, that lead vocal sucks. So weak.

It's good. I think he butchered the guitar solo though!

Weezer makes every Toto song sound better

My name

8/10 Cover :D


6/10 guitar solo :(

Feel like their cover of Africa is better. I would take the original Rosanna over this cover though.

Rivers' voice sounds splendid here. Nailing those high parts. Killed it

They butchered the solo and the really sick half time shuffle

I wanna hear them cover more than a feeling by Boston

Rosanna follows me on Twitter. Send money, no flowers. xx

The guitar solo is a joke.

How many of these 80's covers do they have? Now I want them to do something off of Pyromania.

Bobby’s voice >

Why wasn't this on The Teal Album?

EXACTLY!

Cover This Beat Goes On/Switch Into Glide and you will rule the airwaves. Or intertubes. Everyone knows it is a series of tubes. And lay off the heavy autotune. I will be glad to carefully Melodyne the perfect minimum amount for free if you'll just do the song!

this cover has me shook, its like they modernized and remastered a classic song
Ah Cool! A Weezer song for my birthday!!!

That Groove is so fugging in the pocket... Great cover

Heh, 2019 anyone?? I can't get over this song!!! Especially 2:57 that's the best right there

I BLESS THE RAINS DOWN IN BEVERLY HILLS
So, anybody besides me actually prefer this to their cover of Africa?
Great job by Weezer doing retrospective classic hits.

Wow. Did not see this coming.
Pat Wilson (their drummer) produced this... Props to him, as it sounds killer!
They have to cover "Hold the Line" and make it the Trifecta of Toto covers!!!

Patrick Wilson on the Jeff Porcaro beat? I might just dust off my Pinkerton album
i think weezer should do your love by the outfield

Susanne? Diana? Rosanna? I'm seeing a pattern here.
Ah Cool! A Weezer song for my birthday!!!

Reddit brought me here

No offense to rivers, but he is definitely not as good as Steve lukather

I’m sorry but no it doesn’t sound half as good as the original. Also, I don’t see any new creative idea here. There are some crazy metal covers of Toto songs out there which are much more fun. This is just... meh.

Gotta agree with you there Jan. I kind of like the singers tone in this, but overall, it doesnt really bring anything to the table.

I like how Toto returned the favor by covering at least one Weezer song.

Very Much autotune . Never mind

I swear Weezer can cover any song. They keep the feel of the original song and add their own Weezer flair to it. It's so fucking tasteful.

Is it just me or does anyone else want respect and a Johnny cash song covered?.... just me... ok

after all these years...

My name is Rossana and I'm from L.A. .. and my story goes I saw Weezer open up for LUSH 1994 at Glamslam which word on the street was owned by Prince... I remember chick from LUSH all kinds of angry because the speakers blew and show was canceled... rescheduled and fans came back the next night...

some of the best covers ever !!!!

Very good engineering decision to bring out the support vocals in the harmony of the repeated singing of "rosanna" toward the end of the song.

I hope this is going to be a bonus track on the record store day LP release....??

Much better cover than Africa, has more a weezer feel. Africa was almost a straight up copy

This is great by the way.

In addition to this and Africa I would love to hear you do a remake of The Tubes-She's a Beauty! Kind of the same era and vibe!

Great cover. The guitar solo was near Lukatherian. I love this song

i couldnt think of a better band to cover all these 80eez tunes

look at this guy's from Helsinki :

Great job by Weezer doing retrospective classic hits.

I like Weezer, but this cover is absolute bullshit, terrible.

Oh yeah, I'm smiling...

Love this, thumbs up if you do!

Do a GNR cover of Patciene Weezer but in Standard tuning their version is already in eb tuning

Woah... chillzzz
💕🎵💖🎶😌🎶💖🎵💕

I just wished The Teal Album had this production/mix going on. It all sounds better on this recording

am i hearing just a tad autotune?

Such a great cover and I'm so glad Rivers' voice is as good as always. Been a fan of Weezer for 25 years now.

Original is better. But this is very good.

I will bless the day Weezer stops stealing other people's music! Try writing one of your own, you lame duck. You sound flat as usual.

Its a cover...

Did they? I think they did

They did good.

Toto's version is better!!!!

drummer

If you guys knew the reason why they covered this song, it makes it THAT much better.

These guys never disappoint me

The song everyone forgot about

I hope Rosanna Arquette has heard this.

Pretty soon they're going to cover The Blue Album.

Its ok, but never as good as the original. ;)

That shuffle beat. Oo that's nice.

🤘💔🎧🎵

its fucking hard

na good try weezer but you didn’t quite get that beat

The ghost notes on the snare are sick!!! This make the beat so much groovy and complex!!!
Can someone write this?

His voice is not powerful by any means. But ageless. Almost sounds like a 14 year old boy. The whole band sounds great together. Them keyboards are expertly done.

Harry is in Slytherin.

Cover the dune soundtrack

Banannnaaaa

Weezer, have always been, incredible players.

wait why wasn't this on the teal album

Gary Numan / Are Friends Electric?

How about "I Just Want To Stop" by Gino Vannelli?

99 would be nice.

Lukather must be rolling his eyes

respect for the one asking for Africat an get this one

How'd this not end up on Teal?
