You don’t have to be a fan of either Weezer or Kenny G to be at least a smidgen curious as to what the hell this strange collaboration would sound like. A couple of weeks back, Weezer taped five songs for AOL Sessions, with cameo appearances from rapper Chamillionaire, Sara Bareilles and pop-jazz icon Kenny G. Before recording began, G admitted, “I don’t know anything about Weezer—nothing. I’ve heard the name, but I never knew any of their songs [except] some song about a sweater…with the wool coming apart?”
But you know what the funny thing is? Kenny G’s funny little sax spot is easily the most interesting thing about the song. “I’m Your Daddy” is Weezer-by-numbers; power chords, hand claps and a bored-sounding Rivers Cuomo singing the line, “This ain’t predictable” (umm…). Maybe the band thought it would be hilarious to have cheesy old Kenny G play on the track, but musically it’s the creative highlight of the performance. Check it out!
After the jump: G’s diabolical “Songbird.”

“reminds me of preschool naps. I swear it was on everytime we had naptime.”
