Billboard.biz today showed a January 17 release week for this. If it holds up it's too bad, because it counters the airplay that I'm Your Daddy has been starting to build. And that's the only Weezer single I've enjoyed since the debut album. I can only assume this is not a cover of the Hombres/Mellencamp classic. But the original was peppy enough I could see Weezer remaking it. This will also appear on January's Promo Only Modern Rock compilation.

I'd be happy with either this or "You're My Daddy" as the next single. Both are some of my favorites off "Raditude."

I wonder if that will affect the promotion of this album.

I sort of wouldn't mind this in favor of "I'm Your Daddy." But I don't mind that one either.
At least I didn't buy Raditude. I don't hate all Weezer after the first two albums but this album is so disposable that it threatens not to have shelf life.

I haven't heard or bought any since album two. But if anything is as decent as I'm Your Daddy, it might be worth it.

The first half of the album has shelf life. The last half is without a doubt subpar.

Sometimes those things are actually worth buying. I bought two lotto tickets last week and didn't get a single number on either one of them, but then again that's just my usual luck.

Tripping Down the Freeway is way better

I would want Put Me Back Together, Can't Stop Partying, In The Mall, and Trippin Down The Freeway to be released before I would want Let It All Hang Out.
Can't Stop Partying is a pop smash waiting to happen. People are worshiping the ground Weezy walks on, these days.

"Put Me Back Together" would have been my choice for #2, just because I think it's the best song left, especially on the regular edition of the album.
"Can't Stop Partying" would be a good option for a hit. It's catchy and fun without getting into stupid territory.
"Let It All Hang Out" is a better choice than "I'm Your Daddy" but not by all that much.

Where's the confusion? I thought it was pretty self-explanatory. Did you really win 40 bucks? Do I not get the joke or something? If that's just a factual statement, why did you say it after quoting the exchange between you and American Idiot? What am I missing here? Help me out.

I actually cashed in the ticket tonight. I think the link you're missing is that I know AI in real life. I also was tired and bored, which are usually great contributors to non-contribution.

Thank God. Along with "Freeway," the only other true "Weezer" song on the entire album.
For those who haven't heard it, it's their most "Blue" single since "Pork & Beans":

^Artie has an ability to think up singles that don't exist.

It was on the list of 22 we received up for final cut. Sometimes for licensing issues, in this case most likely because reply #5 above, songs get discarded. But it was included in the Canadian version of this same disc. I'm guessing it will make February's CD for U.S., but that could change!

And before anyone asks, the other 3 songs on the potential list that didn't make the cut were:
Word Forward (Foo Fighters) Guns (The Lovehammers) and Satisfied (Social Code)
Look for all four to make possible runs in January of next year for radio.

Do they have a greatest hits? If not, they should put one out soon!

They don't have one. I wouldn't be surprised if Geffen puts one out once the Raditude era is over.

So this means you either work for Promo Only or have some kind of decision-making ability as to which songs go on the Promo Only discs?
