"The Cruise" is a reworking of | "The Cruise" is a reworking of an earlier Rentals song, "[[So Soon]]", an outtake from the ''[[For The Ladies]]'' sessions, released as a B-side on multiple "[[Friends of P.]]" singles. The song is likely inspired by [[Matt Sharp]]'s friend [[Timothy "Speed" Levitch]], who had previously performed spoken word poetry with [[Weezer]] and was the subject of the [[1998]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennett_Miller Bennett Miller] film [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0150230/ The Cruise]. Levitch's voice is sampled at the end of the song ("But mostly keep it alive"), from a longer poem excerpt (that can be heard on an earlier demo version of the song on the ''[[Little Russell Street]]'' compilation). | ||
