You got your big cheese, I got my...flash...light...
Another version of the video for Weezer's "We Are All On Drugs" is up, this one not composed of found footage from a Grim Reaper video. It's the MTV-safe edit, retitled "We Are All In Love", but the shots of all the actors saying the words "on drugs" are left in, to great effect. Even more absurd is the sense of a world in flames, falling apart on account of drugs love. Everyone knows Weezer doesn't write love songs.
See also: the Simpsons episode where Krusty asks the Red Hot Chili Peppers to change the line in "Give It Away" to "What I want is I want to hug and kiss you".

Wait, is weezer cool again yet? Are we allowed to care...?
Score = 0
can't blame Canada for this one.
the video (and title) are untouched up here on MuchMusic.
now if only the song wasn't the most terrible thing Weezer has ever recorded.....
Score = 0
Chuck, "Keep Fishin"?
Score = 0
On Canadian tv you can say the words "shit", "ass" and "bitch". Clearly we win.
Score = 0
I find that incredibly disturbing.

nuf said!
Score = 0
Jim, trust me, it's even worse.
I could at least listen to a verse of "Keep Fishin" without groaning ten times and wondering what the hell could have happened to the same guy who wrote songs like "Only in Dreams," "Butterfly" and "My Name is Jonas."
Score = 0
I think "Beverly Hills" ranks up there in worst Weezer songs. A chorus song with some verses no one remembers.
I'm keeping my Pinkerton copy for the "Untainted 90s" time capsule I'll revisit 20 years from now.
Score = 0
Creepy video...it's good to see that Weezer's still making entertaining music videos, even if the music's subpar.
Where's the MTV edit you're talking about? Weezer's website has the unedited version and I can't find a link to an alternate version.
Score = 0
should be in the link to "We Are All In Love"
Score = 0
how could you think "keep fishin'" is worse than this song?? this is absolutely the lamest song weezer has recorded. "keep fishin'" was fun in a Green album kinda way, with a decent hook and a much better video.
Score = 0
direct link to the censored version here

oops, try that again:

Hate this song. Always have, always will.

Wasn't it Moe who asked Red Hot Chili Peppers to change their lyric?
Score = 0
Justin, are you getting confused with the time Bart calls Moe's and asks for Amanda Hugankiss?
Score = 0
No way, man. Our lyrics are like our children.

WAIT IS WEEZER BEING IRONIC IN THIS SONG??@Q?
Score = 0
It was definitely Krusty.
Score = 0
the simpsons quote was from Krusty, who got RHCP to play his Krusty Komeback Special (it was the Gabbo episode). Flea's response was "Hey, that's much better! Everyone can enjoy that!"
Score = 0
"beverly hills" is by for weezer's worst song. "we are all on drugs" is bad, but at least it has a hook and sounds like it was written in 10 minutes, as opposed to 5.
i love weezer, but maaaaan...
Score = 0
"beverly hills" is by far weezer's worst song. "we are all on drugs" is bad, but at least it has a hook and sounds like it was written in 10 minutes, as opposed to 5.
i love weezer, but maaaaan...
Score = 0
Weezer lost whatever it had after the second album. Now they are just plain toss
Score = 0
Horrible song made worse. you gotta love those "give it to me"s though.
Score = 0
Rivers has become music's biggest pussy, selling out with this crap. I thought that Maladroit album was just a little accident. I went to a Weezer concert a few years ago when the green album came out and nobody knew the words to Across the Sea. Sad, sad, sad. El Scorcho anybody?
Score = 0
It looks so bad. Everyone's mouths are off from the words so obviously, and it doesn't make sense with the rest of the lyrics. Then towards the end when the guy holds up the newspaper the headline still says, "We Are All On Drugs" anyways.
Score = 0
Completely changing the lyrics in the song, and then not bothering to reshoot or re-edit the video was such a bad move, it almost seems like parody, like Weezer is making fun of "clean versions" of songs.
Score = 0
that was definitely a great simpsons moment
Score = 0
is that a screencap of the video?
looks like the one from gondry's polyphonic spree vid for the music used in 'eternal sunshine'.
Score = 0
Listen no need to argue whether Beverly Hills or We are all on drugs is the worse song....THE WHOLE ALBUM BLOWS! It makes me embarrassed to like old weezer its so bad....
Score = 0
I get to put random comments about my own opinons because Im self absorbed!!! WEEZER SUCKSALKDJALJKD LISTEN TO GREEN DAY!!! WHAT I SAY IS RIGHT BECAUSE I SAY IT!!!
Score = 0
I dunno. I like Pinkerton as much as the next guy, but "We are all on drugs" is kind of a cool song.
Give it a few more listens, maybe it'll grow on you.
I'd have to say "Oh, Girlfriend" is the worst Weezer song ever.
Score = 0
Seriously, as one said above, I'm pretty sure most of you are green day fans now. sad, sad.
Honestly, Make Believe is terrible you say? Make something better! You are greater than thou, apparently. Obviously they didnt re-shoot the video because it's amusing this way, as long as you don't go into it thinking you will hate it to begin with.
But then what can you expect from a bunch of canadians.
