Tay Zonday Covers Weezer. With Weezer.

thumbnail icon: Tay Zonday Covers Weezer. With Weezer.

Didn't we already exhaust Tay's 15MB of fame? No. We did not. Because Rivers discovered YouTube, and then hired YouTube's Most Viewed alum for Weezer's "Pork And Beans" video, and then had Brian sit down with Tay to do an acoustic "Pork And Beans" for you to Favorite on YouTube. The Zonday performance roll call now includes Girl Talk, Dan Deacon, Lily Allen, and =w=, making his the most interminable 2.0 gag this side of LonelyGirl15. So take it away, Brian and Tay. Take it oh so far away.

The Red Album is out. And let's be real. That is not Tay's actual voice. Nor his actual face. It just can't be.

Rivers is just trying to get back in the loop, it's like when you parents say 'Cyberspace'

The "**I mess up the lyrics to sound cool**" dig was worth it.

Andy Warhol had it right when he said, "In the future everyone will have 15 minutes of fame." You Tube and Myspace allows for us to live the lottery lifestyle. Look at me! Look at me!! Make me famous please.

Hey, I loled. But then again, I use phrases like "loled" so take that however you like.

i couldn't find a place to write this, so i will just say the new weezer album is the biggest pile of shit ever. trust me, i just wasted $12.99 on itunes for the deluxe version. now every time i tell people i like weezer it will be followed by "only the first three albums."

I'm sorry, but saying that you only liked the first three albums does nothing to help your credibility. The word that causes your failure is "three."

I'll say this to everyone once again, though: Stop expecting Rivers to write another Pinkerton. It's never going to happen. Just take the good stuff he does and throw out the bad. It's the best we can hope for.

I don't care about my credibility, I was just saying the new album is crap. I was so upset I had to share. I'm sorry if I "failed" by saying I liked the first three albums. I didn't know my opinion was going to be a test. Also, where did I say I was expecting Rivers to write another Pinkerton? That's clearly never going to happen by the way. I bet you are the kind of fan who thinks you are more of a fan than other people. Yeah, you are one of those guys. I can tell. Now go play Jonas on guitar hero.

Thanks "other matthew" for your amazing insight. I haven't heard that Rivers isn't going to write another Pinkerton a million freaking times. Wow... you are a true fan. You are so cliche its cliche.

If someone told me that Tay wrote the lyrics to this song I'd probably believe them.
