Beverly Hills

"Beverly Hills" by Weezer is chases after the California dream of fame. The song states that a nobody can be something in California or, more specfically, Beverly Hills. The song pants a picture of a poor, uncool guy with no style and zero popularity. The singer whines that "preppy girls never looked at me, why should they, I ain't nobody, got nothing in my pockets." The singer is not satisfied with his below average life and thinks that by going to Beverly Hills, everything will get better, as demonstrated in the line, "Beverly Hills, rollin like a celebrity." Pay no mind to the fact that this idea is completely illogical and unrealistic, but it supports the dream of fame by stating that someone who has virtually no power can simply move and reach stardom. The music video even shows the band, complete with Buddy Holly glasses and striped collared shirts, playing at the Playboy Mansion, trying to make the point that you can do anything in Beverly Hills.
