Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the "Maladroit" liner notes, Weezer thanks Jason Schwartzman. For what band does Jason Schwartzman play drums?

Answer: Phantom Planet

Phantom Planet and Weezer are close friends, and PP often covers "El Scorcho" at live shows, with Jason Schwartzman on vocals. This is the only Phantom Planet song in which Jason lends his voice, which is a shame because it is very nice -- watch "Slackers" and find out for yourself! And while you're at it, rent "Rushmore", another teriffic movie he has been in.
2. Which former Weezer member sued Weezer for songwriting credits?

Answer: Matt Sharp

The lawsuit was later settled out of court.
3. Who are Mykel and Carli?

Answer: The founders of the Weezer fan club

Mykel and Carli Allen were fans of Weezer even before the "Blue Album", followed the band on tour during the summer, and often gave cookies to them backstage. Tragically, the twins died at age 17 in a car crash. About two weeks prior to the accident, Rivers wrote a song entitled "Mykel and Carli" which contains the line "...'til the schoolbus came and took my friends away, now I'm left alone at home to sit and think all day..." It is often believed that Rivers wrote this song in honor of Mykel and Carli after they died in the crash, thus the "schoolbus" reference. Actually, the "schoolbus" is symbolic of the fact that Mykel and Carli would soon be returning to school, and the band wouldn't see them again for months.

However, the foreshadowing of the lyrics is tragic. You can download the song on kazaa or weezerisland.com.
4. "Pinkerton" is based on the opera "Madame Butterfly".

Answer: True

"Pinkerton" is loosely based on "Madame Butterfly". If you take the back CD cover out of the case (the one that lists the songs), there is a map displaying the names of several characters in the opera, as well as an island dedicated to Mykel and Carli.
5. Who gets kidnapped by Miss Piggy in the "Keep Fishin'" video?

Answer: Patrick Wilson

Kermit: "Where's Pat?"
Rivers: "We can't find him."
Kermit: "WHAT?!"
Brian: "Drummers." (eye roll)
6. Which band members are involved in the "around the curtain!" fiasco at the end of the "Photograph" video?

Answer: Scott and Rivers

Rivers, for some reason, wants Scott to go around a red curtain. Scott refuses, claiming "There's nothing back there but sinks!" They go back and forth arguing for a while. Finally, Scott throws a water bottle, exclaims "You've made a fool of me for the last time this half hour!", and leaves the room.

The video ends with Rivers laughing like a madman. I highly suggest you download the "Photograph" vid -- it is my personal favorite.
7. If you take out the back CD cover of the "Green Album" (again, where the songs are listed) and turn it over, there is a one-word message. What is it?

Answer: No

This was in response to a message printed in the same place on a Radiohead album.
8. Who is Rivers' "personal assistant"?

Answer: Sheeny Bang

Sheeny Bang is very controversial among regulars at the Weezer.com message boards. It is also debated whether or not they are an "item". Sheeny runs Rivers' errands and maintains his password-protected website, riverscuomo.com
9. Fill in the blanks: "It's the ____ of the ____, you will fly away..." (from "Yellow Camaro")

Answer: pace, race

"Yellow Camaro" was written by Brian and originally intended to be included on a Space Twins (Brian's side project) album. But Brian felt the song was too heavy for the Twins, so he introduced it to Weezer, and they recorded it with Brian on lead vocals.
10. Brian Bell had no part in recording "My Name Is Jonas".

Answer: True

This song, along with "Jamie", was recorded with Jason Cropper on rhythm guitar. Jason left the band shortly thereafter and was replaced by Brian, but "Jamie" and "M.N.I.J." were never re-recorded.
