Undone (The Sweater Song) - Weezer, 1994
I'm me
--- Weezer was originally from Los Angeles, but moved to New York to record in Electric Lady Studios under producer Ric Ocasek (of The Cars). In 1994, they released their first, self-titled album. It was an instant success with a perky song about Buddy Holly, and this unusual tale of a sweater's destruction... In 2002, Weezer experimented with their album "Maladroit" - they allowed fans to download the works in progress, and then offer their opinions. The band felt it a failure, however, because there just wasn't any constructive or coherent advice for them to follow. As for the fans' initiative, they have adopted a stylized W, and this symbol has been made into onto T-shirts, videos and on-stage background decorations for live shows. Maybe the fans ARE always right!
