  • 20. Rosanna
    May 7 2024

    Join us on this episode of Under the Covers as we delve into the iconic hit "Rosanna" by Toto and its unexpected revival through Weezer's cover. Released in 1982, "Rosanna" became a timeless anthem, blending smooth rock melodies with intricate instrumentals. We'll explore the song's origins, its place in music history, and the genius behind Toto's craftsmanship.

    But the story doesn't end there. Fast forward to 2018, and Weezer, known for their quirky and sometimes unexpected choices, dropped a cover of "Rosanna" as part of their "Teal Album." The internet was abuzz with debates over whether Weezer could do justice to such a classic.

    In this episode, we'll dissect both versions, comparing and contrasting Toto's original masterpiece with Weezer's modern take. How does Weezer's interpretation honor the original while infusing their own style? What nuances do each version bring to the table? And most importantly, does Weezer's cover stand on its own or pale in comparison to the timeless brilliance of Toto's original?

    Join us as we uncover the magic behind "Rosanna" and the fascinating journey of its revival through Weezer's unexpected cover. Whether you're a die-hard fan of Toto, a Weezer enthusiast, or simply curious about the evolution of musical classics, this episode promises to be a captivating exploration of two distinct yet interconnected musical worlds.
