Weezer's Ode To Online Culture: Pork And Beans
Weezer’s music video for Pork and Beans is a runaway online with more than 8 million views and counting. The video references such online video stars as Numa Numa, the Diet Coke & Mentos experiment, Cherry Chocolate Rain, Leave Britney Alone, Miss Teen South Carolina, and the Evolution of Dance. It’s a very amusing video and uses a tried and true technique: There are few things online communities love more than self-referential parodies.
It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that some were saying the music video was dead. Well, actually no, not dead. God bless YouTube I say … now who has a digital video camera I can borrow?
