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
Hip, hip
