L.A. Girlz

Weezer

Lyrics

[Chorus]
L.A. girls, please act your age
You treat me like I have the plague as I gyre and gimble in the wabe
L.A. girls, please act your age
Sweeten up your lemonade and meet me down at Tower 28

[Verse 1]
I think I'm in Whiplash, I'm losing it
Mixing ammonia and bleach
I get off at Pico and sell my possessions
So you will know just how I feel
I love your long hair
But you just don't care
So please help me fathom this world without music
And by the way, when can we talk?

[Chorus]
L.A. girls, please act your age
You treat me like I have the plague as I gyre and gimble in the wabe
L.A. girls, please act your age
Sweeten up your lemonade and meet me down at Tower 28

[Verse 2]
So would you mind if I was pregnant?
I'll sleep on the edge of your bed
Like Dante and Beatrice, we'll light up our candles
But how is this going to end?
The kids are asleep
We're haunting their dreams
And some women swear it's more painful than labor
To die with your sins on your head
[Bridge]
Does anybody love anybody as
Much as I love you, baby?
Does anybody love anybody as
Much as I love you, baby?
Does anybody love anybody as
Much as I love you, baby?
Does anybody love anybody as
Much as I love you, baby?

[Chorus]
L.A. girls, please act your age
You treat me like I have the plague as I gyre and gimble in the wabe
L.A. girls, please act your age
Sweeten up your lemonade and meet me down at Tower

Weezer’s L.A. Girlz is a nostalgic tune that brings listeners back to the Blue Album era.

So, if you’re looking for a song that will motivate you to sing along, L.A. Girlz is it.

About L.A. Girlz

L.A. Girlz is a single from Weezer's album, "Weezer" (The White Album). The song is a throwback to the Blue Album era with its use of heavy guitar riffs, catchy choruses, and clever lyrics. Rivers Cuomo, the band's lead vocalist, has once again referenced gender issues in the song, playing with gender stereotypes in the lyrics. The song is thick with nostalgia and is full of rich harmonies, tight arrangements, and a driving rhythm section.

The song is available on all the digital platforms, and it was also released on vinyl. The spelling of the song title was from guitarist and co-writer Brian Bell, who was going to change it to the proper spelling before Cuomo insisted that they retain the Z.

The song's lyrics are about a girl in LA who is not interested in the things that her wealthy peers are interested in. She is not a fan of how everyone in LA is constantly looking for the easy way out and a quick route to fame. Rivers sings about the girl being different, unique, and honest.

The chorus of the song, with phrases like "L.A. Girlz, please act your age" is an example of how Rivers Cuomo uses irony and humor to address the seriousness of the issues he wants to bring up in his music.

The song also features an admirable bass line, which adds another level of depth to the track. Weezer has always been adept at creating memorable hooks, and L.A. Girlz is no exception.

The song also boasts an impressive guitar solo, which shows off the impressive skills of Brian Bell. The guitar is not only technically on-point but is also emotionally charged, highlighting the mournful feelings that the song is trying to portray.

The song effectively captures the feeling of loneliness and hopeslessness that can come with not following the trend. The melancholic tone of the song is enough to make you feel sad at first, but as the chorus kicks in, you can't help but feel energized and motivated to confront your own challenges head-on.

L.A. Girlz is a testament to Weezer's ability to produce quality music for more than 20 years, and it is a must-listen for anyone looking to lose themselves in some classic rock tunes.
