The dissapointment I felt when "Perfect Situation" was released instead of "This Is Such A Pity" was crushing. However, now that "Situation" has grown on me, I can forgive Weezer for what they've done. I still have faith that this can be a fourth single. "Pity" is my all-time favorite Weezer song, next to "Island In the Sun." like the 80s vibe, and the constant driving beat.

This better be the 4th single. This is one of the strongest tracks of the year and it would be a travesty if this went to waste by remaining an album track forever. This is my favorite Weezer song ever.

[hector]

I agree with both of the posts above mine. This should for sure be their next single!

[ragin]

I can not believe they didn't release this second. This is the strongest track on the album. Surefire hit.

"We Are All On Drugs" never should have been released. This and "Perfect Situation" seemed like the obvious second and third singles to me.

[Jay!Koolie]

I love this damn song! JAM!!

[RedDragon]

It is my favorite song from this album. I absolutely love that 80's sound and it really work well for them. This is a #1 Alternative hit waiting tho happen.

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

It's kind of looking like this album is wrapped up. Not sure that there's much of a chance for this to be released.

[Punchanello]

Its the 4th single!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is such a smash. I just hope it doesn't suffer fourth single syndrome, but it's hot and it's following up a #1, so it should be good.

I've liked the third and fourth singles so much better than the first two that this feels like a different album to me. lol

LOL. Well, the remainder of the album is more like the first single than the third and fourth.

I kind of played "TISAP" out when it was first announced as the third single. It's lost its awe with me, but I still love it and will probably get back into it easily enough with the video and increased radio play.

Pun intended?

Anyway, I'm not sure what I think of this so far. It's certainly better than the first two singles, and I think I like it more than "Perfect Situation" too (I'm completely burned out on that). But I think this will be a grower.

Haha... I didn't even notice one.

I agree. As much as I loved that song, it had one of the fastest burn-out rates in recent memory.

[RedDragon]

Yes, I want another great video for this song!

This song is going to be absolutely massive.

UGH. The radio edit SUCKS!

Where'd you hear it? How'd they change it?

[Deleted]

It's on ITunes. They changed the last chorus to be just like the rest and tweaked/auto-tuned all the vocals.

[mjb1124]

Well, hopefully my local station (WHTG) will play the album version just like they did with "Perfect Situation".

I really don't think any changes were needed from the album version. Disappointed to hear about it.

Regardless, it would take a lot to make this song sound bad.

My local station too! New Jersey really represents it strong here!

From the official Weezer site:

..."This Is Such A Pity" radio mix error alert: Some fans went to download the new weezer single "This Is Such A Pity" on iTunes recently and they heard a mix that sounded wrong: the last chorus was the same as the first ones - in other words, no special lead vocal action like on the album version. Well, we now have it directly from the source that that 'weird' version is an ERROR - what's going out to the radio stations and what should/soon will be avail on iTunes (etc) WILL have the proper last chorus and all that jazz. The label is hard at work nipping this problem in the bud as you read this. So remember - if you hear a "Pity" with a funny sounding last chorus - it's not "the radio mix", its an error. The actual correct radio mix i havent heard yet, but from what i understand its only slightly sonically different from the album version.

Apparently someone heard the new version on KROQ and the only differences are that the bass seems higher, the vocals are "dreamier" on the chorus (aka autotuned), and there are added backing vocals to the end of it.
