Weezerpedia:Today's featured song/March 7, 2009

"El Scorcho" is the first single and seventh track from Pinkerton. The song was not a successful single; several radio stations refused to play the song, and the video stiffed on MTV. This is considered to be one of the causes for the initial commercial failure of the album. On WeezerJonas, the official online street team for Weezer, "El Scorcho" was ranked the 3rd best song on Pinkerton, losing to "The Good Life" and "Tired of Sex". Although "El Scorcho" had little success as a single, the song itself has become somewhat of a cult classic. It is only now that it is seeing large strides in mainstream popularity (in large part from being on the video game Rock Band). more
