The Beach Boys

:This article is about the American rock band. For other uses of The Beach Boys, see The Beach Boys (disambiguation).
The Beach Boys are an American rock band formed in Hawthorne, California in 1961. Their first hit, "Surfin' USA" launched them into stardom in the early 1960's and had other major hits such as "I Get Around" and "Barbara Ann". In 1966, The Beach Boys released the album Pet Sounds which at first did not have major commercial success but is now considered one of the best albums of all time, ranking at number 1 in several lists of the greatest albums of all time. Rivers Cuomo has been heavily influenced by them, as far as basing the The Blue Album's cover on an old Beach Boys cassette he owned when he was younger. The group's de facto leader Brian Wilson was included in the map in the disk tray for Pinkerton, and the song Beach Boys in Pacific Daydream was made about them.

They released more and more hit singles, and with the release of 1965's they abandoned the beach and surfing themes most of their hits were about, although they are still stereotyped as a surf band. In 1966, after hearing [[The Beatles]' Rubber Soul, Brian Wilson decided to make an album full of cohesive songs, with no filler. This album turned into , an album with ambitious production and rich and complex arragements and composition, influencing many acts such as Weezer. It is considered as one of the greatest and best albums of all time. Following this album, Wilson started working on a follow-up, with lyricist . Although, because of Wilson's decaying mental state the project was cancelled and a simplistic, stripped down lo-fi version called was released instead. This release started a commercial downfall for the band, but after the release of 1974's compilation, the group enjoyed more commercial success and became an oldies act.

A smiley face, a check-in call

And I know you are on my side
No sexy clothes, no plastic bod
No fancy bash that costs a wad
No we don't even have to try
We don't need no diamond rings
Silver hoops or shiny things
There is nothing that we have to buy
Just to keep us satisfied
The best thing in life is free
It's what they call a perfect match
It's heaven made, there is no catch
To spend your life with your soulmate
I write a text, you send a note
You snuggle up when I feel cold
And when you smile it feels so great
No, we don't need no diamond rings
Silver hoops or shiny things
There's nothing that we have to buy
Just to keep us satisfied

Arnold Schwarzenegger in the motherfucking house
Hasta la vista, baby
It's ancient Greece
I'm eating grapes at the Parthenon
Watching lions eat prisoners at the Colosseum
I'm fucking bored at the vomitorium
Waiting to catch my flight
I got my backpack, I got blueberry scones
I got my noise-cancellation headphones
And I'm off to the Hyatt Regency
This is a load of crap
I said "Another fucking Hyatt Regency?"
They got the best of me
The best of me, the best of me
They got the best of me
The best of me, the best of me
They got the best of me
I'm Drew Bledsoe(?) I got an afro
I got my head up in a mask
I'm like a ninja, I got my nunchuks
And I've been training like a seal
So I won't give a fuck
I'm like Caesar
You could stab me in the back
Pour my blood on your salad
I'm like a senator
Tweet my dick, stick(?) maids, interns, prostitutes
And then my wife
Oh, I love my life
They got the best of me
The best of me, the best of me
They got the best of me
The best of me, the best of me
They got the best of me
I could buy a million dollars
If I had a million dollars I could spare
At the gym, I'd run for hours
And I would not have to go out anywhere
I'd take a class on how to take a class
And when it's over, I'd just be glad that I pass
Pass the class
Pass some gas
Got the best of me
The best of me, the best of me, motherfuckers
Got the best of me
The best of me, the best of me
They got the best of me

The Biggest Animal

"The Biggest Animal" is a Fuzz demo from 1991.
===Appearances===
*Alone V: Before Weezer (2020)
==Overview==
"The Biggest Animal" was first demoed by Rivers Cuomo acoustically in 1990 and with full instrumentation in January of 1991Recording History - Page 1. The latter recording was included on Cuomo's cassette tape demo The Yeastmaster, which compiled demos from 1990 to 1992. The song would be demoed twice more in 1991, once in February and once in March, both times by Fuzz as a full band. This included Patrick Wilson on drums and Scottie Chapman on bass.
Though Fuzz would not last through 1991, "The Biggest Animal" would survive for a short while longer in early live sets. During a May 1992 show at the 8121 Club in West Hollywood, Rivers Cuomo would give a nod to Fuzz by introducing the song as being "by one of our favorite bands."Historic event: 05/21/1992.
Jason Cropper jokingly referenced the song during a Weezer rehearsal in June 1992, soliciting groans and laughs from the rest of the band when suggested they should practice it.Recording History Page 3.
Cuomo included the song on "The 4 and 5 Star Demos of Rivers Cuomo," a list compiling demos he deems of high quality that he released in July 2008. The song was finally heard when it was leaked and subsequently released as part of the demo compilation Alone V: Before Weezer in November of 2020.

Open up your door and ya take a big gulp

He's going for the broke
as a little girl cries
He's banging on your skull!
He's banging on your head!

==Lyrics==
High above the mountains and the sea 
(Oh, oh)
No one here but Ariel and me
(Oh, oh)
The valley is a cup to drink from
Water falls and comes back up
And nothing bothers me
Nothing bothers me
Taste the blood and chocolate on your tongue
(Oh, oh)
This bitter sea will keep you always young
(Oh, oh)
I woke up and one of us is howling at the moon
But that don’t bother me
(Oh, oh)
Because nothing bothers me
Making me drunk
But that’s alright
It’s almost time anyway
Ariel’s inside the poison tree
(Oh, oh)
Afflicted with the Witch’s legacy
(Oh, oh)
The valley is a weeping ocean
Water falls and keeps on falling
But nothing bothers me
(Oh, oh)
Nothing bothers me
No one here but Ariel and me
(Oh, oh)
Reminded of our consanguinity
(Oh, oh)
Nothing here that does not change
Into something rich and strange
Beneath the bitter sea
(Oh, oh)
Nothing bothers me
Pulling me down
But that’s okay
I would have gone anyway
Far below the mountains and the sea 
(Oh, oh)
No one here but Caliban and me
(Oh, oh)
Four fathoms fired by fraught of us
Though suppose the world is ours
Beneath the bitter sea
(Oh, oh)
Nothing bothers me
(Oh, oh)
Beneath the bitter sea
Beneath the bitter sea

It's like a holocaust to the boss when I toss
Too much knowledge kicked then you're lost
In a shuffle of feet, Jinx the fiddler
And I control your mind like Hitler
You bow and vow to authority
See now, a sucker with a style just boring me
So I show K N O W L E D G E, it might trouble you
Then I transform like a decepticon
With a mic as a bomb
I'm solo, you ask how I'm living
Still dropping more shit than a pigeon
With the L, the E, the N, the C, the H
The M, the O, the B, the great
Lyrics that make the beat swing and I gotcha
It's the hip hopper that don't like coppers
And if you try to upset the pot sun
You get kicked in the chest like a shotgun
I make the beats, I make the breaks
I make the rhymes that make you shake
Make you find, Ice Cube never caught in the middle
I make shit to kick you in the ass a little
And still never hesitate to stutter step
Or bust a repetition on the mic
Still dissing all the hype from left to right
How many left to fight?
So what that Lench Mob like?
