Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo has revealed that the first single from the band's new album 'Weezer' (or the red album, to its friends) was inspired after the band's label DGC rejected songs he had originally written for the album. Cuomo told Rolling Stone magazine that the content of the song 'Pork And Beans' was deliberately inane. He said: "I came out of [the meeting with DGC] pretty angry, but ironically, it inspired me to write another song".
Lyrics from the song include the lines: "Everyone likes to dance to a happy song/With a catchy chorus and beat so they can sing along/Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the chart/ Maybe if I work with him I can perfect the art"
