The earlier version, directed by Marcos Siega (who also helmed the prior video “Hash Pipe”), depicted the band performing at a Spanish wedding fine, but not particularly memorable in the echelon of Weezer videos. In 2001, amid their Green Album career resurgence, Weezer released not one, but two official music videos for “Island In The Sun,” a track which would quickly go on to become one of their most popular. “Island In The Sun” (from the Green Album, 2001) Someone GIF 3:53-3:54 for me, will you? - Scott Heisel It brings a tear to my eye, every single time. and last but not least, the greatest shot in the history of cinema: The one-second shot of Matt Sharp, hands clasped in acknowledgement of victory, shaking back and forth in front of a gigantic, lit-up =W= sign.
“Buddy Holly” (from the Blue Album, 1994) Here are our favorite clips from the past 20 years of Weezer-and here’s to 20 more! There are few bands that continually nail the ridiculousness and absurdity of music videos more than Weezer-from having their drummer kidnapped by Miss Piggy in “Keep Fishin’” to hanging out with sumo wrestlers in “Hash Pipe” to each member meeting a gruesome demise in “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To,” Weezer continually nail it. While we’re just as excited (if not more so) for a new record from these alt-rock legends (and three-time AP cover stars, natch), we’re actually more excited for the band to make a few new music videos. The internet has been abuzz the past few months with anticipation for Weezer’s upcoming ninth album, Everything Will Be Alright In The End, out Sept. Singing… ooooooooooooooh owoooooo owoooo owo owooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo owo owoooooo wwwowwwo wowowoww woooooooowoooowooooooooooooow I don’t wanna be lonely For the rest of my days on the earth. Leading me to better prepare For the day that something really special might come. Though I can’t satisfy all the needs she has And so she starts to wander… Can you blame her? singing… oooooooh oh.
Get your hands off the girl, Can’t you see that she belongs to me? And I don’t appreciate this excess company. And I just pass through… singing… ooooooh oh. 'Cause I could not have it better, But I just can’t get no play From the girls, all around As they search the night for someone to hold onto. Hungry nights, once again Now it’s getting unbelievable. All I have to do is swing and I’m a hero, but I’m a zero. What’s the deal with my brain? Why am I so obviously insane? In a perfect situation I let love down the drain.
