Weezer: Pork, beans and Web stars

Weezer persuaded some of the biggest stars of the web to take part in the video for their latest single Pork and Beans.  The video coincides with the launch of a new Weezer channel on YouTube. Web celebs including Tay Zonday (Chocolate Rain), Lauren Caitlin Upton (Miss South Carolina), Judson Laipply (Evolution of Dance), Chris Cocker (Leave Britney Alone), and Numa Numa guy feature in the vid, as well as  Diet Coke & Mentos, hamster, GI Joe parody, Soulja Boy, Kevin Federline, Daft Hands and Peanut Butter Jelly.

The You Tube channel features additional B-roll material, band introductions, shoot footage and archived videos. Frontman Rivers Cuomo reportedly sees the YouTube presence as a chance to keep the Weezer buzz alive.  "It was mayhem making the video," guitarist Brian Bell explained. "We were performing with all these amazing YouTube celebrites, and I felt like I had walked into my own computer."
