Weezer - Perfect Situation - Original Early Album Version
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- 2nd track from the 5th Weezer Album "Make Believe" released in 2005. This is the original (or first) "early album version" of the song which features a longer guitar intro and a minor variation on the chorus melody. A little bit different from the radio edit, and later album releases, and also slightly different from the official video version of the song found here on UA-cam, but this is still THE BEST VERSION, in my humble opinion. Enjoy this rare gem from the past my friends!
***Please give this video a "like" (or a thumbs up) to help the video move up in the UA-cam search results, so its easier for others to find. Thank you and rock on! ✌🎶🎸
"Perfect Situation"
Lyrics by Rivers Cuomo of Weezer
[Bad ass guitar intro]
What's the deal with my brain?!
Why am I so obviously insane?!
In a perfect situation
I let love down the drain
There's the pitch, slow and straight
All I have to do is swing
And I'm a hero, but I'm a zero
Hungry nights, once again
Now it's getting unbelievable
'Cause I could not have it better
But I just can't get no play
From the girls, all around
As they search the night for someone to hold on to
I just pass through
(Chorus)
Singing...
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Singing...
Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhh oh. Ooohhhhhhhhhh.
Get your hands off the girl
Can't you see that she belongs to me?
And I don't appreciate this excess company
Though I can't satisfy all the needs she has
And so she starts to wander
Can you blame her?
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Tell me there's a logic out there
Leading me to better prepare
For the day that something really special might come
Tell me there's some hope for me
I don't wanna be lonely
For the rest of my days on the earth
Ohhhhhh!
[Another bad ass guitar solo]
(Chorus of Oooohhhh's to the end)
.
This is the version the real fans know
D'Angelo Angelo damn straight!
The other version is like nails on a chalkboard.
Why did they change it? Sounds better this way.
I've been look5for this version because I loved it
U made my day bro🤘🏻
Just spent 30 minutes arguing with my sister saying that weezer changed the chorus of this song. She spent 30 minutes gas lighting me, nearly convincing me I was delusional. Thank internet for saving me.
If she still doesn't believe you you can literally show her the AOL session interview
I wish i had a sibling that liked weezer.
Real recognize real, champ. We love ya.
And i thought i was delusional.
This was always the version they played on the radio when I was younger from what I can remember. Only on UA-cam did I hear the other version
My brain will simply in reject mode every time I listen to the other version...
Same here! I thought I was going crazy explaining to everyone that this is how it went!
I thought I was crazy, my dad has the cd somewhere and I couldn’t find this version. It’s been nearly 13 years since I’ve heard it!
Spotify has the other version. I can't stand it.
All is right again. Thought I'd fallen into a universe where this one didn't exist.
SAME.
lucky for me I still have this one on my iPod :)
REAL. 💜
Best version. Keeping that third “ooooh” low really drives home the depressing vibes, I dig it
right? it sounds so much better imo !
The perfect situation would be if they removed the other version from streaming services and had this instead
😂😂😂
I hadn't listened to this song in years. I thought I had gone crazy remembering a completely different song before I found this!!!
Welcome to the club! 😉
"early version" - No, this is the only version. I bought the CD when it came out and this is why I heard. It was immediately my favorite song on the album. No reason to every change it. It's perfect.
you could say its the.. perfect version
Right. I literally didn't know there was another version. 😂
this is some mandala effect fuel right here. it’s such random small insignificant aspects of the song, that it really makes me wonder why it got changed :0
Exactly my thinking
I legitimately was wondering I had mendella effected into some alternate universe where this version didn't exist.
This version rocks a little more than the other. I thought I lost my mind when I saw them live and they sang it differently lol.
The "Perfect Version" you mean.
This version is SO much better!! And without the cheesy “perfect situation” at the end like in the new one. I wish they had this one on any streaming device...
I agree, that part is so lame.
Like, we get it, it's the title of the song. You don't have to shout it in my face just for algorithmic branding purposes. It cheapens the song.
Very glad the original version of this exists still. Im not a fan of the re-recorded version
Thank you thank you thank you for bringing this version into my life! It was already one of my favourite Weezer songs (among so many...) but the more prominent vocals in this mix elevate it magically...
I just found out this summer that there was a 'new' version. I've been listening to the original CD's ripped mp3s on my iPod for all these years. My mind was blown that there is even another version...
I really had to stop and listen to figure out what was wrong at first. The “perfect situations” at the end didn’t help either.
by the time my incarnation ends, I bet I will have listened to the intro of this song 1000 times
This intro is one of the best things in rock and roll
Just amending this post: this intro is *the* best thing in rock and roll
@@kurtdahlke9526checking in three months later, is it still one of the best things in rock and roll?
I grew up listening to this version. Once I got Spotify and listened for the first time I went crazy
This version is so much better & thank you for confirming I’m not crazy and didn’t make this all up in my head.
Thanks for preserving this superior version of the song, since Weezer themselves don't seem interested in it.
This version is by far the best version. Didn’t even know the other version existed until last year
Same here, and I hate it. It bugs me so much that it’s doesn’t have the same chorus. This one’s better
I remember this version first and then suddenly it was different and less hitting especially near the end it had that "perfect situation" repeating all cheesy. This song really is the best one.
Me sigue gustando esta versión 😮
Perfect version.
I thought that this was a mandala effect, glad to know this was the version I liked best back in the day
What’s crazy is I totally remember and thought I had this version. I still have the original album I uploaded into my iTunes (not Apple Music) but the chorus is the “newer” version. Thank god for UA-cam convincing me I wasn’t crazy. 😅
His guitar puts me in tears every time but I have a Fatastic High Fedelty System with Electro Voice Speakers ! It makes the difference ! Thanks Weezer from Saint Louis Missouri ! We love you guys and girls !
I always come back to this video whenever the song comes up on Spotify. I refuse to listen to the current version.
My brain always rejects the other "Oh, ohhhhh..." Chorus, had to come look for the original😁😁
how could they possibly think this needed changing?
The truest version ever.
Thanks for uploading the album version! As someone who wore out this CD back in the day, I just cannot get used to the whoas on the single!
Man, I thought I was losing my mind for a second. Listened to three other videos and I was like... I swear this song was different.
god I THOUGHT the version on streaming services didnt sound the same as I remembered the song, thank you!
This is how it’s supposed to be.
This is it!!
This is the only version for me! Still got my CD from when it was first released!
Honestly thought I was losing my mind misremembering how this song went for YEARS bless u for sharing the version I remember from my formative years
I been tryna find this version for years finally 😭❤️
Best version of this song. I thought I was going crazy the first time I heard the radio version. We need those low "ooohs" !
Omg I hear this version at work every day and I just listened to the other version and thought I was crazy because the chorus melody was different but thank you so much for posting this!!!!
Same just happened to me! They play this version at work and the chorus is why I liked it so much, so when I heard the other version just now I was like "No, this isn't it. There's *no way* I was listening to it wrong this entire time. Please don't let this be it!" lol
xXx okay good I’m not alone in this lmao. But now I’m upset because it’s not on iTunes..
I can't explain it, but I relate more to the "oh ohs" in this version than the other....
I've been a Weezer for only a few years. I've listened to each album hundreds of times.
I'm thrilled to stumble upon this original version of Perfect Situation that I just learned exists. Gotta listen a couple more times, because I'm so used to the other version that I find the chorus here a little bit weird.
The Oh's in the final version always throw me off lol
this is the version i like, thank you !!!
This is the version I had when I bought this album day one
The only version we need!
The outro of this version is so fucking good. Holy shit
Thank god I found the good version 👍🏽
Hella Mega Tour dude I can't wait. My two favorite bands together. Green Day and Weezer.
Ironically, this was the version that I’ve heard for the first time, like 15-16 years ago... in bootleg mp3 recording, I’ve just downloaded the album on iTunes, shockingly the newest version came up, and I don’t like it, couldn’t find the “original version” anywhere, so thanks a lot for shared this old one 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much for keeping this one alive!! 🤘 Most definitely the BEST version.. & my favorite as well. It's the only chorus my brain will accept! 🎶💜🎵
Wow, my CD has this version. Thanks random commenter who replied to me asking if my CD had the original Perfect Situation or the later versions.
I guess my dad either bought Make Believe when it first released or a used copy from someone who bought it when it first released.
Just confirmed with him now, he did indeed buy Make Believe when it released. He didn't even know it had an altered single that replaced the original. I got the jewel case and cover art from him, too.
I'm really just surprised that he got it all the way back in '05 and kept it in such good condition.
Thanks for uploading this so I could confirm which version I had!
I've been looking for this version several years, I knew I wasnt crazy and it existed. Thanks
I hate that this version is so hard to find, I can't stand the other one. Thanks for sharing this. ❤️
Yes I knew I wasn’t delusional. I had been looking for this one. It’s better and I knew they didn’t say perfect situation all through the ending. ♥️
I knew something didn't sound right when I looked up this song. This is the version I remember and the one I love. Thanks.
Just found this recently luv it❤❤❤
Yes,this is it!
THIS is the song I've been looking for forever! Thank you, thank you, kind soul. You have saved my life 🙌
A few years back, this song was played in my local radio station, and the chorus was weirdly different! I recorded it and ask my friend who's also a fan to this song to listen to it and we both were jackie-chan'ed our head wondering what had changed. We really believe that we were in some kind of Mandela Effect about this but later on I scratch back my old hard drive and found this version. What a relief.
I like this version best!!
was there not a video with this version of the song? I must be trippin. Either way, this is the superior version!!
The superior version.
got the make believe cd not long ago, happy to find this version here ^.^
This first version is the best.
I actually prefer the changed chorus melody, but I like that the original version doesn't have that repeating "perfect situation" at the end
It is a little hammed up, too “anthemy”
Someone sang this but the other version at karaoke the other night, and it made me really miss this og version… glad to have found it here 🥲
I knew they changed it somewhere along the line! This is the version I had on my Kids' Choice Awards CD growing up.
It is the best version, thank you. I felt crazy remembering the song different from everyone else.
This is my favorite version and I was going nuts trying to find it
This version kick asses
Yeeesssss!! 🙌🏼 This is the version 🤘🏼
Man.. this the OG oh ooh
wow this version slaps!
The real one
I've been searching for this version thank God , i found it 😭 bcuz this version much better than new 🤘😥
*Hello from la France* nice one! comfortable to hear, thank you for sharing. Best regards from a frenchie ;)
best version...
I’ve been trying to find this for years!!
I was surprise when listening to the perfect situation with MV. It was a little bit different from the song that i like. I love this version more. I thought I was dreaming this version existed.
I always preferred this version.
the best version
For a while now I had been thinking I got hit with a Mandela effect or something since I knew there was just something off about the version I kept finding on all the music streaming sites. So glad you uploaded this masterpiece!
Weezer - Perfect Version
I love this song!!
it's 2021 and i still like version more
Versi Inilah Yang Quw Dengar Pertama Kali Di Radio Waktu Masih Sekolah...
Yes!!!! The better version!!!!!!!
Yeahhh!
I wish I still had my copy of this CD...
Much better
best version
I prefer this one cause this is the version that was on my ipod when I downloaded in limewire. But unfortunately Cuomo decided to re-record the Oh to how the crowd would sing it live.
But shoutout to KROQ in Los Angeles for playing this version on the radio.
only the real ones know
Bro I'm not tripping lol I was like ugh Mandela effect or what but this is the one I remember
When the og is WAY better.
The only true version for me since 2005!
