The song is written like an inside talk and related to inner issues. The song was quite successful when it was released, and it quickly became very popular. It brings a chill and laid back mood when you listen, like a feeling of a holiday. The song is one of the softest songs of the group.

You get it.A-Ha cover was included in their album вЂњThe Teal AlbumвЂќ in 2019. Yet I 'just can't get no play' from the guys 'all around as they search the night.' and so on. especially for a single person who is tired of hearing every detail of their friends' love lives, yet they still say 'oh, you'll be happy one day'. Laine from Detroit, MiIt's a really good song.Kenan from Anchorage, Akthis song reminds me of my cousin because he matches it so good.i have plenty of friends (much which are girls) yet i still cant get any woman to like me. Cadon from San Fransico, CaI love weezer.

Mineyuh from Arima, OtherI never really knew what the song meant and i loved it, now i know what it means i know why i loved it so much.Leah from Humboldt, Iai really like this song and i think that the whole weeze thing in the video is reallly cute.The Perfect Situation video starred Elisha Cuthbert and was directed by Marc Webb. Jon from Auburn, WaMake Believe's third single, 'Perfect Situation', spent four weeks in a row at the #1 spot on the Billboard Modern Rock chart, a personal record for Weezer.I think it is a great song and a great video. Davis from Belmont, NcElisha Cuthbert was awesome in the video.Nick from Seattle, AlbaniaThis was my anthem freshman year! such a powerfull song.I take this as him saying 'don't be a zero, take that swing' He says that he is a zero after this line, however if you would have just taken that 'swing' he would have been a hero. Dennis from Inverness, FlI think this song should be taken as a 'don't give up' type of song especially the line 'All I have to do is swing, and I'm a hero'.Now, I feel good about myself even if I don't look like Brad Pitt. But anyway, I love a lot of Weezer's songs. At least I looked normal & not like some elephant on steroids! This song was a sort of crutch for me for a while. It didn't help me get any chicks, but I felt a heck of a lot better about myself. I loved Weezer's songs because they seemed to be a nerdy & geeky band who understood guy's trials thru life. I wasn't so hot getting any chicks because I was so self-conscious about my enormous nose. Randy from Fayettevile, ArI related to this song back in 2005 when I got the album 'Make Believe' & heard 'Perfect Situation' on radio.Maybe I will find someone to love and someone who loves me.

This song has a special place in my heart. So in the past 4 years I still haven't found anyone special. So I went on a radical crash diet and lost all this tonnage! I looked pretty decent then, but it took me five years to do it. After all, who wants to love a 400 pound girl! My name is Rotunda and I am pretty rotund. When I first heard 'Perfect Situation' back in 2005, I know I felt so alone and like I'd never find anyone to love me or to love. I think it raises a lot of emotions for guys & girls who are struggling to 'fit in' or to find someone special when you don't feel special yourself.

Rotunda from Tulsa, OkI've loved this song for years.

It's best to take the ranking from the musical genre chart it comes from. By the way, I noticed in Billboard's archives that this song was #1 on the Modern Rock charts, yet Songfacts shows it as #51. I think most guys experience the 'situation' in this song.

Raunchy from Tulsa, OkWow! I still love this song & I think it's about the uncertainties of growing up.

It could be he is afraid of commitment, afraid of getting hurt, or wanting to break up with her before she breaks up with him ('can you blame her'?). I feel like he is already in a relationship with a perfect girl but he keeps screwing it up.and then repeats these same mistakes in every relationship he has. I feel as though the guitar solo represents a man crying because he keeps messing up his 'perfect situation'. I too fell in love with the music first and the lyrics second.

Charley from Indianapolis, InGreat comments from everyone.
