Weezer - Summer Elaine And Drunk Dori Lyrics

I had a dream about the most incredible girl. Her not existing brought me back to this song.

Does anyone realize this sounds like lithium

Relateable

Such a great song!!! I like Weezer from their very beggining...I'm 40!! Greets and e-hugs from Argentina!! Hep Hep!!

Slightly reminds me of the stokes at the start

What really happened? I got distracted. I suck at getting off the phone.
Aint got nobody. aint got nobody, aint got no one to really love me

Came here from Sound Exploder.
Finding Dori.

hey sam

That crunchy guitar at the start instantly made this song one of their best.

WEEZER ! - JUST COOL ! LOVE THE WEEZER SOUND - ANYWAY

Definitely heavily influenced by Nirvana's Lithium. SO GREAT that Nirvana's influence is living on after all these years!

THIS IS LIKE WEEZERS TRIBUTE TO NIRVANA :) GREAT ROCK SONG

OOH OOH-OOH OOH-OOH

Did anyone else notice the LA Girlz body builder in the picture?

Becca Partin oh my god you're right

The first 8 seconds seems like it would have hope to be a Pinkerton type of song (not including lyrics but definitely including ROCK AND ROLL BITCHES) nevermind it could be ok but still the terrible raditude vibes are still there a little

PARANOID ANDROID!

Is it just me or does the beginning of the chorus sound like he's gonna start singing "The Good Life"? :)

Summer Elaine and drunk dori when I'm feeling lonely 🤷🏻‍♀️🙃😂

My favorite track from the white album, reminds me of "Up The Junction" by Squeeze!

Does anyone knows the meaning of this song? I have days trying to figure it out but idk. This is one of my fav songs of my fav Weezer album (and one of my favorite albums of all time)

Check out Song Exploder’s podcast about it :)

Absolutely love this song. Great riffs, cheesy chorus- classic Weezer

The fucking CRUCH on these guitars 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

One of the best Weezer songs ever made. 1:57 onwards is just bliss.

Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori was my immediate and overwhelmingly favorite song from the White Album. As I first listened to the album, a found a couple songs (#1 and #4) catchy, but not enough so that I took notice of their name, let alone feel compelled to immediately replay the song again. The fact that I wasn't being instantly hooked by any songs was making me feel increasingly disappointed. Then, I heard Summer Elaine. I was hooked, yanked, and thrown in a pot of euphonic bliss. With bopping head and unbridled smile, I replayed the song three or four times before listening to the rest of the album. I then listened to the whole album again with a new appreciation, and those other tracks that I had found catchy (California Kids and Girl We Got a Good Thing) sunk their hooks deeper into me...and a few others managed to penetrate and grab hold as well.

HOWEVER....I am not completely happy with the structure of this song. I would have like to hear a shorter bridge, a 3rd verse and another round of the chorus. I think that the melody of the verse and chorus is far superior to that of the bridge.

History will be so very kind to this record.

Its like if everything I loved about Green was put into a song.

Weezer are at their best when they write what comes natural without trying to replicate modern pop sounds. This is true Weezer song writing at its best.

This song gets pretty boring around the 3:25 mark

Donny Lemarq oh I see what you did there two claps for you 👏 👏

you’re so clever , marry me

1:58 sounds a little bit like tally hall.

Esta canción tenía que ser un single.

ARiELCdia estaría bueno escucharla con Rivers como solista o en acústica.

the last part of the last chorus is so fucking fresh, powerfull and energetic !!03:08 !!!

poor surfer :D

i just wish that might be Mikey to whistlying

bridge to chorus sounds so brilliant ! congs!

This is lithium with different lyrics love it tho

Finding drunk dory

i love the transition from this to L.A. Girlz! i wish they played it on tour 😭

Here from this. love the process!

i thought he said sooner or later you'll adore me lol

I have a hard time picking a favorite song from this album.
Maybe because I listen to the whole thing in repeat.
If I had to pick one it would be King of the world because of Kyoko Cuomo's comments on Genius
http://genius.com/Weezer-king-of-the-world-lyrics

wow that's deep

Did they reference a radio head song ? With the whop P A

Paranoid android

1:28 Weezer has done a cover of Paranoid Android before

i love when contemperaries are fans of each other. I wish Nirvana and Pearl Jam would've worked out... they would've been so good together.

Found this song on Song Exploder! Weezer was explaining the process of writing this song. Very interesting

Weezer is back

and now theyre gone

And they're back again

@Lizzy M You don't know that you know what happened with Can't Knock the Hustle last year all we can do is hope.

@Ava Pinkerton Wait what I probly sound stupid but I don't know what you're talking about.. Sorry

Love it! Perfect summer jam.

Over half the album is the perfect summer jam.

I love this song so so much! Definitely my favorite off the White Album 💞

The key changes and Brian's Backup make this the Pinkerton one, obviously.

Lovely bridge

This is one of those Weezer songs that I could've sworn I've heard on the radio before, but it only just came out. Super catchy. A hit for sure.

One of my favorites, I LOVE the guitar's chord sequence throughout the track, especially that solo.

On a recent podcast Rivers said that he lifted it from "Walk Away Renee" and that he lifts most of his chord progressions from songs he likes....which is genius.

vengan a argentina por favor.

great song

The chorus is amazing

I don't know why fans are complaining that the chorus's chord changes sound bad - it's just a variant on the Pachelbel 'Canon' (or "Basket Case" if you must) chords.

+King Andrew to listen to me whine

+Myles Seber ABOUT NOTHING AND EVERYTHING

+Man In Magenta Wig lol people are complaining? My Name Is Jonas and No One Else both follow the I V vi IV pattern.

It's from Walk Away Renee by The Left Bank

I don't like the sudden modulation, I wish they'd kept that progression in the original key.

One of the best of the album 😀

I hear lithium at the beginning

i googled weezer lithium this video came up

WEEZER WERE INFLUENCED BY NIRVANA AND KURT COBAINS SONG WRITING , I THINK THIS SONG HAS A REAL LITHIUM FEELING AND SOUND :) IT ROCKS

During the recording of this album and EWBAITE, River's actually used a tribute model of Kurt's 1996 Fender Jaguar. The tone sounding like lithium make's sense, song writing was also inspired by them because he was such a big fan of Nirvana.

Well Rivers is actually Kurt Cobain

this and endless bummer are the best on the album. what about y'all?

Idk if I can pick favorites

This and Wind I Our Sail are my favourites

I love this and Jacked up.

California Kids, Do You Wanna Get High, and L.A. Girlz

I love the Brian's little "oooo!" after the "she touched my ankle" lyric. Perfection.

+ZyxthePest and also the "doo doo doo doo doo" after "sweet piano melodies play" at 2:04

1:02 after the upbeat OH! you hear him in the left headphone o-o-o-ohhh love it every time

yeah it's like the "bye" in Undone at the "the go, bye bye" lyric

remember when we were only sixteen

That part of the track is so pleasing

you made me believe in god

nice song

This is sweet

Also good album

Great album.
