WEEZER SINGER RIVERS CUOMO WROTE A SONG FOR ADAM LAMBERT'S DEBUT ALBUM:
Wednesday November 4th, 2009

WEEZER singer RIVERS CUOMO is so impressed with ADAM LAMBERT that he gave Adam a song for his debut album, "For Your Entertainment".

Rivers tells MTV News, "I wrote a song called 'Pick U Up' for Weezer.  It's one of my favorite songs I ever wrote.  For some reason, Weezer didn't want to record it for [our new album] 'Raditude'.

"I figured it would end up on the next record and it just didn't fit this time around.  Then I was invited to sit in with Adam Lambert and watch him sing, and he was checking out the song.

"He came up with a few ideas for it for himself, changed the melody around, suggested some lyric changes and before you knew it, I was writing a song with Adam Lambert."

Rivers describes the song as, "A combination of ABBA, with beautiful pop melodies, and a disco beat like you'd hear in a DONNA SUMMER song.  But then there is this heavy guitar feel to it . . . like from RAMMSTEIN or something."

By the way, Amazon.co.uk is streaming preview clips from Adam's album, which comes out on November 23rd.  (--Here's the link . . .)
