Ep 7. Fred Armisen & Weezer

Fred Armisen & Weezer team up for a lively episode of Carpool Karaoke's season 3. The musical group, Weezer, has been making rock hits since the early ’90s, and Fred Armisen is a recognizable face from Saturday Night Live and Portlandia. In this episode, the group and Armisen take turns singing their classic rock songs and exchanging stories and making jokes in between. Even if you're not a fan of the band, the conversation and humor between Armisen and Weezer are enough to keep you entertained throughout the episode.

The artists start out by introducing themselves and giving a brief history of their involvement in the music industry. Fred Armisen shares a hilarious story of how he used to be in a punk band and how they would crash parties and perform uninvited. Weezer talks about their early inspirations, including The Beatles and KISS, and how they accidentally became a successful band. Armisen and Weezer take turns singing their classic rock songs, including Weezer's "Beverly Hills," "Island in the Sun," and "Hash Pipe," and Armisen's "Feel It All Around," and "Rock and Roll." As accustomed with Carpool Karaoke's style, both the guests and the host participate in belting the lyrics of the songs, humorously sometimes adding their version of a rendition while still carrying the tune.

Aside from singing, Armisen and Weezer also bond in between by talking about their other interests and hobbies. Fred admits that he is not much of a singer, but he loves to play the drums; this leads to a confident drum solo he plays at the beginning of one of Weezer's songs. Additionally, the group talks about their love of classic cars and their favorite places to go for a drive. Weezer’s lead vocalist Rivers Cuomo also talks about how he used to be a student at Harvard and the fascinating story of his time there.

At one point, the car pulls up to a stoplight, and the group spontaneously decides to host a jam session on the street corner. They get out of the car and start playing their instruments on the pavement, with other passersby joining in on the fun. This unexpected moment adds a personal touch to the episode, making it more relatable and heartfelt.

Overall, the episode featuring Fred Armisen & Weezer is a delightful and entertaining one. The mood is light as guests share stories from their past and belt out rock songs in an incredibly authentic and moving way. It is an excellent choice for those looking to laugh, enjoy some good music, or just have a good time. Carpool Karaoke season 3 episode 7 is the perfect watch for fans of Weezer and anyone who loves feel-good entertainment.
