There is a lot about this video that is almost as awesome as Rivers Cuomo’s moustache. See how many YouTube stars you can spot – Tay Zonday, the Numa Numa guy, the Evolution of Dance dude, Star Wars guy, Chris Crocker (”Leave Britney alone!!”), Miss Teen South Carolina (she loves South Africa), Kevin Federline (although he never quite cracked YouTube) and those stupid unicorns on acid that my sister forwarded to me like two years ago.
The song’s signature Weezer – don’t fix it if it ain’t broke, I suppose. More of a return to Maladroit or the Green Album than anything out of their earlier work, but still great. The album, conveniently entitled The Red Album, has pretty much been leaked all over the internet over the past month, but officially goes on sale tomorrow.
