Pork and Beans: Difference between revisions

Originally, Rivers posted on his official MySpace page that the lead single would be twelve letters and one word that started with T and ended with R.  In a revised update, Rivers said that he was wrong about the initial lead single and that the new single would be about a four-legged pink farm animal.  He then added, "You ain't never gonna figure it out boi!"  Many Weezer fans took this as a tongue in cheek comment that the lead single was obviously "[[Pig]]", which had leaked a little under a year ago in [[2007]]. Eventually, the name "Pork and Beans" was teasingly revealed by Rivers. 

On [[Albumsix]], band webmaster [[Karl Koch]] shot this down saying he "for one would be very surprised if Pig was the first single", but commented that he did not know of the band's intentions.  On [[April 1]], ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' released information that Weezer's new album was a self titled red album with the lead-off single to be "Pork and Beans". Many fans took this as an April fool's joke. Shortly after, on [[April 12]], a clip of "Pork and Beans" was posted on Amazon.com, with a release date scheduled as [[April 24]], [[2008]].
