:'''Scott:''' Right on! It’s funny, and I remember you talking about - when you were living in that apartment—it’s like, ‘I always hear these people going, ‘WHOOO! WHOO! All night long, a whole car full of girls are like, ‘WHOO!’’ and that’s exactly what we sing in that song. [laughter] It’s really cool. After the first chorus at these shows, even though nobody knows the song yet, people are so into it. Out of all the new songs, that song seems to hit people the fastest, to me. | :'''Scott:''' Right on!

"We Are All on Drugs" received moderate commercial success, peaking at number 10 on the US Modern Rock radio charts. It peaked at number 35 on the main US charts. The song has fared poorly with critics. In December of 2005, [[Pitchfork Media]] named "We Are All on Drugs" as one of [http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/6219-2005-comments-lists-the-15-worst-releases-of-2005/ "The 15 Worst Releases of 2005"], and provided only the word "OBVIOUSLY!!!" as a comment. The song has also been received poorly among Weezer's more die hard fan base, and it is commonly pegged as one of the band's worst songs ever on [[Allthingsweezer.com]]. Some fans have praised the song's intro and guitar solo, both of which were written by [[Brian Bell]]. Still more fans have expressed surprise at the song's lack of overwhelming commercial success. | |||
