Weezerpedia:Today's featured song/October 22, 2008
"East Coast vs. West Coast" (also referred to as "East Coast or West Coast") is a song written by Rivers Cuomo in 2006. As Cuomo explains:
"When I was in [a 2006] meditation course, I was obsessing about “Where do I want to live—East Coast or West Coast?” And so many thoughts would come up about either coast, and I said, “Hey, I should write a song about that.” So, what it’s gonna be, is I’m gonna be in the center speaker, wondering what I should do. Then, Brian’s gonna be in the left speaker, arguing on behalf of the West Coast, and Scott will be on the right, arguing on behalf of the East Coast. And we’ll all just be singing and rapping to each other."
In the song, it isn't made clear which coast wins, however, Cuomo mentions that the West Coast won in real life.
