Maybe they made a video just for fun? I think there is a little too much analysis going on here. Pork and Beans isn't supposed to be an orchestral masterpiece - apparently front man Rivers was making a stab at his record label

Truth... I was about to say almost the same thing.

BTW I love this song and see no wrong. You can say “oh Weezer your such a sell out OMG." but the truth is they did not won't to sellout at all. There record label told them to make something with more pop and something that they can sell (like put in to commercials) and the band pretty much said Fuck you. Maybe I like this song  because I like to consider my self as a rebel and pretty much don’t take bullshit.

Ok ASE, edited my post. yeah English is actually my 3rd language, so sometimes I get things mixed up.
That doesn't excuse the lack of periods, it's more the result of typing fast than my lack of knowledge about the english language.
Anyway I hope that now that I corrected it (hopefully there are no more errors, it's the most I can do) you can get my point across.

just so you know the video isn't original in any fucking way, the mainstream media has been bandwagoning internet memes for a long time now

no dom weezer loves its fans this was them giving us

US

a shoutout.

Thought I'd post a sweet video of Tay Zonday and Brian Bell for Weezer fans:

I like Weezer more every day.

that was awful.

Weezer: Hey, lets get this internet guy to sing our song becuase he will get lots of hits on youtube. Yeah, it will be great because then loads of people will buy our record! Maybe for our next record we could get all the pornstars from Bang Bros to sing along whilst they're being fucked.

I have no idea why I hate this kind of stuff so much! I think it rubs at some weird internet thing at me but it's probably because of a few of those things are genuinely funny and then every person ever becomes committed to running it into the ground as fast as possible and usually as horribly as possible (I think I have seen Tay Zonday called a niglet at least twenty times).

wait am I misreading this or are you seriously suggesting the only reason I don't like this stuff is because I'm devoted to non-conformity.

because holy shit you don't know me at all then.

I don't like it because it's pandering first off, a practice I find pretty disgusting in general and then also it's not really funny or unique or cool but people will fall over themselves talking about how it's even remotely good when it's not, it's just SHIT YOU SAW BEFORE.

I mean this isn't the world's greatest example but Michael Gondry had some music video where there was a clear homage to Evil Dead 2 and while that's still shlocking to the masses he at least did something to it other than "look, it's shit you saw before! aren't we CLEVER". I just saw this video I wish I could remember the name but yeah, it's not NON-CONFORMITY but more that a bunch of semi-good shit like Chocolate Rain goes from kind of funny to irritating because everyone and their shitty band wants to reference it.

man what a dumb thing to say!

do you like Rickrolls too.

because I seriously bet the first time it was done it was probably just like "oh haha, funny".

how about LOLCATZ.

I was just saying to someone recently that they might as well have covered that lolcats song (to the tune of Come Together) by the obese frumpy nerd woman and the buttface dude

oh SHIT, I was gonna post a link but they took it down. man I hope someone saved it, that shit was the epitome of lolcats

i dont really think the video is terrific but man i dig that song

I heard another song from their album, called "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived." A sort of a tribute to the music of the Shaker Protestants.

Verdict: it sucked.

"rick, no. i cannot get into meditation because it will rob me of the angst that's necessary to being an artist"
~rivers cuomo, after rick rubin suggested he take up meditation

is this true?COUCHFIEND

i like rickrolls ironically

haha so i got this album and i kinda enjoy it actually! it's sort of a guilty pleasure i suppose but the instrumentals are pretty solid and fun throughout but man DO NOT LISTEN TO THE LYRICS they are so hilariously awful! like it is kinda shocking how consistantly bad they are
