Noise du Jour Bonus du Jour: “Pork And Beans” By Weezer

My opinions on Weezer are, I think, very much soured by people I have known who have been annoyingly, overenthusiastic fans of the band or just plain douchebags. It makes it difficult at times because, while I do enjoy a lot of the band’s catalog, I have found myself cringing while listening to, say, “Say It Ain’t So” when I suddenly remember that one asshole who would always play it on his acoustic guitar at parties, screeching in an ear-piercing manner, in an attempt to woo intoxicated women into his bed.

That said, I will excuse myself from commenting on the song itself — off their upcoming, self titled “Red Album” — and instead focus on the video which features a bevy of internet memes from “Peanut butter jelly time!” all the way up to writing the lyrics of “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” on your body and Chris Crocker. It’s a Who’s Who/Spot the Meme exercise in internet history. How many can you find?
