* One for a teenage fan ''and'' for Weezer and their snarky sense of humor. 15-year-old Mary Clem semi-jokingly started a Twitter account, "@weezerafrica," solely to convince Weezer to cover the famous "Africa" by Music/{{Toto}}. After months of slowly gathering traction, Weezer actually took notice of her, and proceeded to released a cover of..... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8jr-p0lQZo "Rosanna,"]] just for a laugh. Nice trolling, right? Not so fast; a few days later, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4c7EE8_IX0 Weezer actually did it for real.]] The internet's great.

** The video for "Pork And Beans" featured a ''slew'' of Website/{{Youtube}} stars circa-2007. Awesome at the time, still kind of dizzying today as a nostalgia trip.
