No Picture Bradon Average	#1 by Bradon at Sep 12, 1970 at 11:36 PM EST
	I love this song. I can't believe there was only one comment. I can play Pinkerton over and over and over and over...it's a great cd.

No Picture Ryan Average	#2 by Ryan Patrick at Jan 10, 1971 at 1:35 PM EST
	this is a great song to jump around and chill out to when your in a terrible mood. haha. maybe im the only one who does that but man i love it.

No Picture Dylan Lead Player	#3 by Dylan

No Picture Sarah McKagan Musical Genius	#4 by Sarah McKagan (AKA - Lady Rock 'n' Roll) at Feb 20, 1974 at 5:42 AM EST
	Damn good song, i think everyone here has pinned down the meaning pretty good in my opinion, i think id agree with you guy. Definetly one of those songs that'll sort of pump you up for something, or pick you up when youre down

No Picture ThunderWolf Average	#5 by ThunderWolf at Aug 1, 1981 at 10:38 AM EST
	yeah its definatly about his leg or whatever...

No Picture Cam Wanna Be	#6 by Cam Reck at Aug 20, 1981 at 10:48 PM EST
	probably one of my fave weezer songs. shakin booty and makin sweet love would be the good life for me!

No Picture Drew Wanna Be	#7 by Drew Hanson at Mar 21, 1991 at 11:10 PM EST
	yea i agree this song, only in dreams and el scorcho are probably my favorite weezer songs.

No Picture Tim Average	#8 by Tim Curry at Jul 6, 1998 at 3:45 PM EST
	I must agree, one of the best off the BEST ALBUM Pinkerton.

No Picture leith Wanna Be	#9 by leith petrie at Dec 31, 1998 at 3:21 AM EST
	I posted a similar comment for "My Name is Jonas", but I absolutely adore this song and especially the lyrics...its that whole realization of "Hey I'm old" when you have a moment where you realize how much your life has changed, and the people around you have grown up (or haven't in some cases), how time is fluid and essentially flies by. Where has it all gone? And just exactly where am I? Its that whole introspective quality of this song, and this album, that makes me love it so.

No Picture Anarchos Lead Player	#10 by Anarchos Olsson at Mar 2, 1999 at 6:10 AM EST
	This song shows when u cant hide ur emotions anymore and u just gotta say what u really want... Excuse the bitchin' I shouldn't complain I should have no feeling 'Cuz feeling is pain

No Picture Chris Wanna Be	#11 by Chris at Mar 16, 2001 at 6:03 AM EST
	this song is about a period in River's life when his leg had metal through it to extend the bone. each day he had to turn a screw to separate the bone another millimetre to make the bone grow longer. the song is about how he was sick of feeling like and old man with a walking stick and how he wanted to 'get back to the good life'

No Picture Chuck Average	#12 by Chuck Webber at Sep 7, 2004 at 4:36 AM EST
	this is, hand down, the best song off Pinkerton. This song is about Rivers' loneliness he went through when he got his leg operated on and had nothing to do but just be alone in home all day. It was a depressing time in River's life, which is what makes Pinkerton suck a great album. It would be really cool if Rivers gets depressed again so he can write like this again. Things just havn't been the same since after Pinkerton.
