“American Gigolo” is the opening track off of Weezer’s fourth album, “Maladroit”.

The song is most likely about the different direction from the blue album, Pinkerton, and the green album the band was taking on “Maladroit”, as the album is generally heavier and more experimental than those three.

Another meaning could be about fans, and how annoying the band thought they were, due to the fact that around this time Rivers “flamed” his fans in an interview with Guitar World.
