I'll go ahead and set the over/under for this at 8 million views. I was hoping OK go might show up to the party, too, but sadly no. They checked just about everyone else off the list, though. Good stuff, Weezer. I will gladly hand you 10 bucks.
By the way, if you were smart you'd move the album release date to, like, now (instead of June 3). We're an impatient bunch, and torrents like to give me the album right now for free! Thank torrents! (via Tom)

If they were really smart they would release a low quality version of the song as an mp3 and allow people to create their own mashups.

OHMYGAWD!
I love this video, but more importantly I love what it says by accident- viral is here to stay and is officially a part of our ever changing "pop culture".
The video is awesome and I have always loved Weezer, but this is such a significant milestone in my mind and my way of thinking.
And whoever Weezer was working with deserves to be hailed as the "next great thing". Pure, golden genius. I think I love them and want to have their collective baby!
Wow... totally amazing.

Paul - Hilarious! Even more so because I had breakfast with Tay Zonday a few days before he flew to LA to be in this video. Nice to see Chris Crocker. And it sure helps that the song is good, too. - Tim
