Around the World in 80 Seconds: Difference between revisions

| Label    = Self-released

"Around the World" is an instrumental derived from the [[Daniel Brummel and the Contraband]] song "[[If I Only Had Some Courage]]".. The spoken audio at the beginning of the song is from a foreign-language radio station that one of the band member's amps picked up during the recording of the album.{{Citation needed}} [[Daniel Brummel|Brummel]] said of the song's title:

<blockquote>The sequential chord progression in the B section proceeds around the diatonic harmony by bass motion in fifths — a “[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths circle of fifths]” type progression. When I first showed it to Ryen, when we hit that section, he said “around the world!” which I connected via wordplay to the Jules Verne novel, in the same playful sense of “one-upmanship” that gave us “Rock and Roll Part Three.”<ref>Email correspondence with Daniel Brummel, 2021. https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:Daniel_Brummel_Around_the_World.PNG</ref></blockquote>
