Nineties Revisited: El Scorcho


Original video located here. Accessed 10th August 2016

Song title: El Scorcho

Artist: Weezer

Year: 1996

Why I like this song:

I first heard this song back in 1996 and back then it struck just how shambolic it was: The gargle at the start, the wonky drum beat, the fast part in the middle, that odd guitar solo following said fast part and the ad-libbing throughout. As such, the song wormed it's way into my heart and has become an ideal for a shout-along.

Also it can't understated how this works for any teenager who is trying their first awkward steps at romance. And I was fourteen at the time so yes, I could very much relate to this aspect.

And hey: "I'm bring home the turkey if you bring home the bacon!"
