Concert review: US rock band Weezer eat durian, sing NDP song at Singapore gig

At their sophomore Singapore show on Wednesday night at The Star Theatre, the American alternative rock stalwarts performed the National Day Parade favourite Home, just as frontman Rivers Cuomo promised they would in an earlier interview with The Straits Times.“That’s damn shiok, man,” declared the 53-year-old singer, who put on plastic gloves before digging into the pungent yellow-fleshed fruit, a beloved delicacy among Singaporeans.

“Singapore, we love you lah,” said Cuomo, who probably picked up some Singlish from local fans whom he had been interacting with online and in person before the concert.

Even the younger fans were seen singing along enthusiastically to early hits such as Undone – The Sweater Song and Say It Ain’t So. For example, on the song El Scorcho, the original line “I asked you to go to the Green Day concert” was replaced with “I asked you to go to the BTS concert”, referencing the massively popular K-pop boy band.
