“Beverly Hills” is one of Weezer’s biggest hits – but frontman Rivers Cuomo says it’s one of the band’s most misunderstood songs.
He told Vulture “I often heard that people thought I was making fun of Beverly Hills, that I was being sarcastic in the chorus when I say, “That’s where I want to be.” I was 100 percent sincere when I wrote it.”
Weezer is currently headlining the ‘Indie Rock Roadtrip’ tour with Future Islands and Joyce Manor. You can see them in Louisville this September at Louder Than Life!
