			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first time I ever heard a Weezer song, and watched one of their music videos for that matter, was when we unpacked the Beta version of Windows 95 back in 1994 (It came as part of an MSDN package if I recall), and there was a music video.  (A quick search reveals it was their song <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV5iQJLpVnM">Buddy Holly</a>)  I liked the song, and never really latched onto their music much.</p>
<p>But it came as no surprise to me when I came across this really awesome music video of their&#8217;s, their latest song called <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muP9eH2p2PI">&#8220;Pork and Beans&#8221;</a>.  The Youtube video&#8217;s had over 1.2million views in a single day.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, they took practically every online video meme that&#8217;s ever made the rounds, and made a music video out of them, by putting themselves into the videos.  And either they managed to get some really good lookalikes, or they tracked down the original people that featured in these memes and used them.</p>
<p>I came across the Weezer music video via this <a href="http://digg.com/music/Weezer_understands_how_to_work_YouTube">digg post</a>, that links through to a nice <a href="http://valleywag.com/392972/weezer-undestands-how-to-work-youtube">list of embeds for each of the source Youtube videos used in Weezer&#8217;s music vid</a>.</p>
<p>And I must say, the video is absolutely fantastic, and uses several of my favourite memes that&#8217;s gone around, including Daft Hands, Coke+Mentos, Afro Ninja, Dramatic Gopher, and a whole bunch more.  (Not to mention <strong>All Your Base</strong> that predates Youtube by years!)</p>
