Weezer played their awesome single “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To” live on David Letterman last night, and what a performance it was!! Letterman’s band added some horns, and made the chorus completely epic.
Weezer can still pull it off live, if only they could still make classic albums.I really like this performance!!!

“…made the chorus completely epic.” Thanks – but those horns weren’t merely “added” in some arbitrary manner – that was a crafted, written horn arrangement. I think – one of my better efforts. The idea – add the perfect lift, the perfect punch in the perfect places.
I have a hard time hearing the song now without the horns. I hope they do as well.
That’s what I set out to accomplish …always.
