"Island in the Sun" is the second single and fourth track from The Green Album
"Island in the Sun" has proven to be one of Weezer's biggest hits, especially among the general public. It has been used in film, commercials, and even appeared in an episode of The Simpsons.
Rivers Cuomo wrote and first recorded a demo of the song in 1999. The original demo recording has circulated on the internet for several years.
Brian Bell originally heard the song when he went to Rivers' place at a time when he was writing all of his demo's names on the walls. The title instantly caught his attention, as did the song. On the audio commentary for the song's video on Video Capture Device, Brian has expressed that it "might be [his] favorite Weezer song."
