In late 2001, the band reworked the song's solo for their live show. In 2005, Rivers Cuomo would often open the band's encore by playing "Island in the Sun" alone on an acoustic guitar in the back of the venue they were playing. On some nights, he would crowd surf back up the stage.
Island in the Sun
Weezer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hip, hip
Hip, hip
Hip, hip
When you're on a holiday
You can't find the words to say
All the things that come to you
On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
Hip, hip
Hip, hip
When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone
On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore
Hip, hip
Hip, hip

On an island in the sun
We'll be playin' and havin' fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain
We'll run away together
We'll spend some time forever
We'll never feel bad anymore

When my daughter was about 5 years old, this was her favorite song when we drove anywhere. She kept telling me: "Play Hip Hip".
@LuxuriousLenay
AWWWWWW THATS LITERALLY SO SWEET
@J-OZZY
Thas awesome it is such a blessing having been born in a time where technology and the new types of music and all this overwhelming stuff and rather listening to classic rock our parents did.
@frankA0302
Same with my daughter. Hopefully she still remembers.

This song has that âeverythingâs perfect, so why arenât I happy?â energy
@Ernesto_III
same, except everything is messed up and I am perfect
@dominikkaleja5117
Was just thinking about the same, it takes a sacrifice to be famous and its not up to them to release this energy they just want to preform and entertain whilst the mass behind it all trying tk control everything and not in the likes of humanity, still look past that and its still a great song either way
