Weezer: I Love The USA

Just in time for Independence Day, a remarkable joining of forces: Weezer and NASA. The song “I Love The USA” is the result of NASA asking the veteran rock band to write a song to commemorate and celebrate spacecraft Juno’s landing on Jupiter. Juno was launched back in 2011 and is finally due to enter the planet’s orbit 4 July. What better way to celebrate space exploration than with an endearingly patriotic but slightly tongue-in-cheek song whose hook goes, “I love the USA! / Fuck yeah, this place is great!”
