Inside Online Video

Weezer Video Features YouTube Stars

by Mike Abundo on May 30th, 2008

Weezer frontman and songwriter Rivers Cuomo is a geek. That’s why the video for their latest single, Pork and Beans, features YouTube stars and memes.

Kevin Nalts points out that the lyrics fit the independent spirit of online video. Check out the chorus:

Imma do the things that i wanna do
I ain’t got a thing to prove to you
I’ll eat my candy with the pork and beans
Excuse my manners if i make a scene
I ain’t gonna wear the clothes that you like
I’m fine and dandy with the me inside
One look in the mirror and I’m tickled pink
I don’t give a hoot about what you think

Previously, the Barenaked Ladies featured YouTube stars in the video for their single, Sound of Your Voice. While YouTube star power felt a bit tacked on to that song, this song sounds far more appropriate. I never thought I’d see Miss Teen South Carolina in such a favorable light… saber.
