|-|El Presidente (ver. 6)=
People want some Jazzercise
In their uninteresting lives
But they need someone to show them how
I played football in high school
It was natural that I'd rule
Come with me to the promised land
Soy el presidente de los Estados Unidos (de America!)
Soy el presidente de los Estados Unidos (woo-hoo)
Dancing on the Porta-Johns
Swimming in New Orleans swamps
With my flowing long blond hair
Someday I may go too far
Harm someone with my guitar
There's so much pressure to be weird
Soy el presidente de los Estados Unidos (de America!)
Soy el presidente de los Estados Unidos (de America!)
Hope her face is healing up
Just a couple surface cuts
Dropped a cooler on her head
Hopefully she isn't dead
That was stupid as it gets
Worth a hearty "what the heck"
Throwing garbage on the fans
Hopefully they'll understand
Soy el presidente de los Estados Unidos (de America!)
Soy el presidente de los Estados Unidos (de America!)
|-|"President of the United Flakes"=
People wanna Jazzercise
With their uninteresting lives
But they need someone to show them how
I'm a natural lunatic
It was natural that they'd pick
Me to lead them to the promised land
I'm the president of the United Flakes (of America)
I'm the president of the United Flakes (woo-hoo)
Dancing on the Porta-Johns
Swimming in the Redding swamp
With my flowing long blond hair
Someday I may go too far
Harm someone with my guitar
There's so much pressure to be weird
I'm the president of the United Flakes (of Australia)
I'm the president of the United Flakes (woo-hoo)
I pledge allegiance, to the flag
Of the United Flakes of America
And to the republic, for which it stands
One nation under god, indivisible
With liberty and justice for all
I'm the president of the United Flakes (of Uzbekistan)
I'm the president of the United Flakes (woo-hoo)
I'm the president of the United Flakes (of America)
I'm the president of the United Flakes (woo-hoo)

El Scolcho was a live Weezer cover band formed in Japan. The group played only on New Years Eve of each year.
==Overview==
El Scolcho consisted of members from bands on the Japanese record label 3P3B. The group's lineup fluctuated numerous times throughout its existence, though it was headed by Naou HaraHara, N. (2004, March 19).【EL? SCOLCHO!!って・・・】. 3P3B Ltd. Retrieved from http://www.3p3b.co.jp/mailmagazine/backnumber/mm_063.html (of the band Short Circuit, who contributed a cover of "I Do" to Across the Sea: A Tribute to Weezer), and, between 2000 and 2003, included Kashikura Takashi (of the band Reach, who contributed a cover of "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams" to the same tribute).

Elastica

Elastica were a '90s Britpop band who rose to prominence in tandem with Weezer.
==Overview==
Elastica was formed in 1992 by Justine Frischmann and Justin Welch and lasted until 2001. The band occupied a similar space in culture as Oasis and Blur, other Britpop artists who reached fame in the UK during the '90s. Their debut album entered the UK album charts at No. 1, the fastest-selling debut album since Oasis' Definitely Maybe.Bloch, Sam (1 September 2003). "Artist Profile Elastica". Stylus Magazine. Archived from the original on 26 June 2012.
Like Blue Album, the 1995 debut Elastica was released in America through DGC (the alternative rock division of Geffen). As such, the two bands appear on numerous promotional compilation CDs beside one another, as well as the soundtrack for Mallrats. According to Weezine issue #4, around fall 1995, the A&R rep for Elastica offered a position as bassist to Weezer guitarist Brian Bell during his off-time. Bell declined, preferring to invest time developing his own band, the Space Twins.Allan, Carli and Allan, Mykel (October 1995). Weezine issue #4, p. 2. Available on Weezerpedia at Weezine Issue 4 - Fall 1995.
Elastica members Justine Frischmann and Donna Mathews appear as guest vocalists on the Rentals' 1999 album Seven More Minutes. Frischmann performs on "The Man with Two Brains", and Matthews performs on "Say Goodbye Forever" and "Must Be Wrong".

Electric Ladyland

Electric Ladyland is the third and final studio album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and the final studio album released in Hendrix's lifetime before his death in 1970.
==Influence on Weezer==
When asked in a 2005 interview to identify an album that changed his life, Weezer bassist Scott Shriner mentioned Electric Ladyland:
::First time I heard it - when I was a kid - it kinda really scared me, some of the sounds on it. I was really young - like way too young to really be listening to it. But I kinda grew up with it, and I kinda came in more and more, and it really stirred me in a huge direction.
Weezer recorded their debut album in Electric Lady Studios, built by Hendrix only 10 months before his death.

That's it. You hear Brian - post on the Weezer message board about the NEW Space Twins album to be released. Special thanks to Karl Koch (a killer guy) for helping me out, and to Brian for his time, and who most obviously kicks ass. Hope you all enjoyed the interview. Thanks!

Elliott Smith

Steven Paul Smith (August 6, 1969 – October 21, 2003), known professionally as Elliott Smith, was an American musician and singer-songwriter. Smith originally came to prominence as the co-leader of the short-lived, alternative band Heatmiser. Concurrent to that band's run, Smith began a solo career that quickly eclipsed his original group both commercially and critically, which arguably led to the group's downfall by the end of the decade.
Smith was dating Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo's ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Chiba, at the time of his apparent suicide on October 21, 2003. Smith's death was ruled a suicide, though an autopsy report did not rule out homicide."Rocker's Autopsy Doesn't Rule Out Homicide" The Smoking Gun. 8 January 2004. https://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/rockers-autopsy-doesnt-rule-out-homicide Cuomo wrote the song "The Other Way", which appears on Weezer's Make Believe, in an effort to console Chiba.
Heatmiser's drummer, Tony Lash, worked with The Special Goodness and Organic Mechanic in 1996 and 2001, respectively. He also lived with Patrick Wilson in Portland, Oregon during the mid-90's.
Throughout 2021 and 2022, as Cuomo began planning what would eventually become the SZNZ series of EPs, Cuomo frequently described the planned winter-themed EP as "sad acoustic, Elliott Smith-style" music,Bienstock, Richard.

|-|Empty Inside (ver. 10)=
I'm so cold, I keep putting you on hold
When you just need a human being
Livin' with you is too much for me to do
'Cause I'm hardwired to split the scene
I built this home out of testosterone
And you're still huffin' estrogen
You want to make believe I'm anyone but me
But I just couldn't give a damn
I give you all a man could give
But those words never cross these lips
You deserve better than this
'Cause when I see you cry
I'm empty inside
I'm empty inside
Like Joan Didion, I'm a little removed
'Cause artists gotta live in their heads
Yeah, it's all about me and Calliope
And you're the Ethiopian kid
You got flies on your belly and you can't even cry
Is this all there is to my life?
Like a gift-wrapped box looks so pretty at first
But then you find it's empty inside
I'll give you all a man could give
But those words never cross these lips
You deserve better than this
'Cause when I see you cry
I'm empty inside
And I can't hide
I'm empty inside

===Empty Nest 5===
I wake up on the floor
My neck is all wacked out
Two kids are in my place
The boy begins to wail
He hasn't yet been fed
The girl is running late
It's easy to take this moment for granted
Feel irritated and disenchanted
Let's take a second for sober reflection
One of these days this is all gonna have to end
We'll have an empty nest
Our kids will be gone
Then we'll have all of the time to rest
And miss what is gone
Sitting in the room in the evening
Talk about the past that one has
Cherish every day we have
(And we'll have an empty nest) We'll have an empty nest
There are joyful moments too
Holidays with the folks
And hunting Easter eggs
The simple Sunday mornings
When we all just lie in bed
And read Calvin and Hobbes
It's easy to take our happiness for granted
Sometimes it seems that we always will have it
Let's take a second for sober reflection
One of these days this is all gonna have to end
We'll have an empty nest
Our kids will be gone
Then we'll have all of the time to rest
And miss what is gone
Sitting in the room in the evening
Talk about the past that one has
Cherish every day we have
And we'll have an empty nest
Sometimes it's hard to know what to do
We want to do what is best for them
But even if we do everything right
No especially if we do everything right
It's gonna have to end
We'll have an empty nest
Our kids will be gone
Then we'll have all of the time to rest
And miss what is gone
Sitting in the room in the evening
Talk about the past that one has
Cherish every day that we have
We'll have an empty nest
We'll have an empty nest
Our kids will be gone
Then we'll have all of the time to rest
And miss what is gone
Sitting in the room in the evening
Talk about the past, it won't last
Cherish every day that we have
We'll have an empty nest
===Empty Nest 6===

Then we'll have nothing but time to rest

Endless Bummer

"Endless Bummer" is the tenth track from The White Album.
==Overview== 
At the beginning of the song, Rivers counts off "1, 2" at a low volume. The song (and the album) ends with the same beach noises that opened the album in "California Kids."
On the lyrics sheet for The White Album, a line in the second verse is listed as "dreaming about my wife," but many fans hear "life" rather than "wife." When asked on the fan club facebook page which one was the correct lyric, Rivers said "What's the difference?"
"Endless Bummer" was cowritten with bandmate Brian Bell.

I just want the summer to end
What's the point in trying to pretend?
She told me to follow the rules
Not all 19-year-olds are cool
I'm all alone at night
Dreaming about my life
She was too fast for me
I count my steps because I'm O.C.D.
No life from Paloma to Rose
Sometimes I feel like I'm a ghost
Changing into street clothes in her tent
I just want the summer to end
My heart is so landlocked
Nothing but tourist shops
It's just like a curse you see
This bummed out feeling that she's over me
She's over me
I put my jacket over my head
I'm trying not to stare at her chest
I can't even dance in the dark
Cuz my headphones are still on the seat of her car
Kumbaya makes me get violent
I just want the summer to end

Thinking about my life
Welcome to Hell my friends
If you're O.C.D you gotta count your steps
I am scared to go back to her
She will see

Enlightenment Tour

The Enlightenment Tour was Weezer's 2002 summer concert tour in support of Maladroit. Though taking place only a few months after the last tour, the Enlightenment Tour was different from the previous ones in many ways. Especially a new stage design with pyrotechnics and random setlists.
More bands than ever before were opening for Weezer on two stages. The side stage was either located at the same venue or at another venue nearby. The opening acts on the main stage were Dashboard Confessional and Sparta for the whole tour. The Strokes were scheduled to open on five dates as a third support act but had to cancel due to an injury in the band. The line-up of the side stage was Loudermilk (for the first half of the tour), Rooney (for the second half), Home Town Hero and AM Radio. For six shows The Special Goodness were also performing on the side stage.

Pray the Lord my soul to take (Pray the Lord my soul to take)
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
