Pork and Beans by Weezer - piano cover Posted by: ExpressStaveNotation
Video duration: 176 seconds This is my arrangement of the Weezer song. It is played mainly on the black keys and the melody for the 1st part is just three notes. The left hand riff is also easy and just repeated over and over. But it is an interesting song, and I like the lyrics about doing your own thing and not following fashion or conventions.
