"Memories" is a song by the band Weezer. It is the opening track and first single from their 2010 album Hurley and was first released online on August 10, 2010, to promote the comedy film Jackass 3D. Following the death of Jackass member Ryan Dunn, the video became the most searched for video on YouTube. The song received attention in 2018 after a sketch aired on Saturday Night Live where Matt Damon defended Weezer's later output including "Memories" while Leslie Jones ridiculed him for liking the song among others.

Composition

Michael Hann of The Guardian said that the song "harks back to the days when Weezer seemed like a fresh, slightly puzzled take on grunge".
