Pork and Beans: Difference between revisions

The full song was premiered by [[KROQ]] on [[April 15]], 2008 -- three days after the initial Amazon clip.  That night, Karl signed into the [[Albumsix]] chat room to discuss "Pork and Beans" with fans.  The single was later released as a two-track CD, and on vinyl, in three versions, each with a different B-side.  All of the single's various B-sides were cover songs.

Initial fan reactions to "Pork and Beans" were mostly positive.  Fans were quick to note the guitar tone being crunchy and reminiscent of ''[[The Blue Album]]'' (something [[Pat]] had hinted about on his [[Pat Wilson's Twitter|Twitter page]]).  Fans were also quick to unhappily note that the song lacks a solo. The lyrics of the second verse were initially criticized as well. Generally, however, Pork and Beans is viewed highly by more devout Weezer fans. It has received critical and commercial fame in the mainstream market, and is one of Weezer's most successful singles.
