Anyone for "pork and beans"?

That by the way, is the title of Weezer's upcoming single And I'm surprised that no-one here seems to have picked up on this.

Just caught the video of it on "the tube". It's probably one of the best songs they have Ever done. And it's choca with appearances from what I can only describe as various Internet Legends. The ones I can make out are...

The Eepybird crew (of Diet coke and mentos fountains fame)
Afro-ninja (redeems himself here)
Numa-numa dude (dunno his real name, still the king of DAYD - Dance at your desk)
leave Britney alone Guy. (only saw him on a jetset EpicFU episode so don't know what the deal with him is)
Miss alabama Making fun of Her lack of geographical knowledge, good that she can laugh at herself.
Various use of Lightsabres.
The Banana Gifs

OH and rivers cuomo's Dodgy tache, WHY?!?!? bring back the nerd glasses Rivers I implore you!!

The Chorus sums it all up I think.

"I'm-a do the things that I wanna do.
I aint got a thing to prove to you!!"

Here it is (never embedded before so hope this works)

Good on you weezer, this should be a FU of the week in the upcoming new Episodes I reckon. Purely because Weezer made the effort to do do this and re-affirm the internet's power of bringing people together and putting one big smile on not only mine, but everyone else's face in the process!!

I absolutely love videos that are based on great ideas instead of just loads of money spent on special effects and post processing and what not. And this one is just great in the way it showcases what essentially is a small piece of Internet history. I don't have a hat, but if I did, I would take it off to them. Great stuff. Thanks for posting it here, Laurence.; ▶ Reply to This

I think the moustache is just a promo stunt to make people go wtf when they see it. I'm sure he'll shave it off and put the nerd glasses back on soon; ▶ Reply to This
