Weezer Give YouTube Celebs a Sixteenth Minute in "Pork and Beans" Video

Above sits the new video for Weezer's "Pork and Beans." Regardless of how you view the intentional or unintentional comedic value of the band's new songs, there's no denying the "Pork" video is funny, as the band has seemingly recruited everyone who's carved out fifteen minutes of fame on YouTube and crammed them into one clip. There's Miss South Carolina, Tay Zonday and that guy who cries to leave Britney alone. Even Kevin Federline and that heavy kid that sings "Numa Numa" make appearances. At first we thought, "It must have cost Weezer thousands to get all that talent in one place," but then conventional wisdom took hold and we realized it probably only cost bus fare and a room at the Motel 6. Weezer's new self-titled album will be out June 3rd.

“Too Close”

Next | 1998

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
