  • What?

    This is the song they've been writing as part of the Youtube 'write a song with Rivers' blogs.

    Dunno if this is the final version, I haven't been following it that closely.

    Anyway, this was written by fans, not Rivers himself.

    "On June 25 2008, a brand new Weezer track was released onto YouTube, with the title "Turnin' Turnin'". NME.com, the website for the UK alternative music magazine, reported on 25 June 2008 about the story, but were unsure of the origin of the leak.

    "Weezer's spokesperson confirmed that the song was genuine, although the origin of the leak is unclear. The backdrop for the YouTube video shows the cover of the band's recent self-titled album, known as 'The Red Album', suggesting that the new song may be recent."[35]

    "Turnin' Turnin'" was soon uncovered by THRASH HITS as the song Weezer have been writing with their fans as part of the YouTube “Write a song with Rivers” blogs."
