Song #24: "Pork and Beans" by Weezer


        "Pork and Beans" by Weezer is another good example of transcendentalism, as it represents one of the most common beliefs that you should do what you want to do instead of conforming to what society wants you to do. That value is represented in the lines "I'mma do the things that I wanna do. I ain't got a thing to prove to you," and again in the lines "I'm fine and dandy with the me inside. One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink, I don't give a hoot about what you think." As a matter of fact, self-empowerment is the general theme of the entire song.
