Here's the Cast of 'Succession' Singing Weezer for Some Reason
Dear daddy, I write you in spite of years of silence
Published May 30, 2023
Succession fans have had a lot to say about the end of the show this past week — but instead of being sad about the end of the beloved family dramedy, the cast appear to be busy having drunken Weezer singalongs.A short video of the cast hollering their way through an acoustic version of "Say It Ain't So" has made its way onto the internet. In the half-minute-long clip, a large group of cast members — including stars Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin and Sarah Snook — can be seen singing along. The many beer bottles and wine glasses laid out on the table perhaps explains their slightly raucous enthusiasm.
A few cast members don't seem to know all the words, since there are a few people simply singing "da-da-da" — but Snook appears to have the lyrics down pat, while Culkin gives his all to the climactic "yeah!" that leads into the guitar solo.
"Say It Ain't So" is a very fitting choice for the Succession actors, given how both the show and the song concern a strained paternal relationship. Appropriately, the clip shows the cast members singing the song's bridge — y'know, the bit with "Dear daddy / I write you / In spite of years of silence."
