My Name is Jonas

About My Name is Jonas

"My Name Is Jonas" is a pop song by alternative rock band Weezer. It is the first track of the band's self-titled 1994 debut album, also known as The Blue Album. It was written by vocalist Rivers Cuomo, drummer Patrick Wilson and guitarist Jason Cropper, and produced by Ric Ocasek. Cropper wrote the song's acoustic intro; it is his only Weezer songwriting credit, as he left the band before the release of its first album. The song was inspired by Cuomo's brother, who was having insurance problems after a car crash. According to Cuomo, the song "explains how The Plan is reaming us all, especially my brother." more »
