The video for Weezer's "Pork and Beans" is a surprisingly entertaining compilation of dozens of internet memes from the past few years. A certain local singer joins in the music, and the leans away from the mic to breathe. (the songs lyrics.)

Well, it's no "Buddy Holly"...which a college friend of mine once proclaimed the best video ever. The college friend has not gone on to a career in music or video production, so I think that weakens his authority.

Taking Warhol one step further, the internet gives people a 15 minute half-life of fame. They get some residual rippling fame effects which slowly taper off to mere google searchability nostalgia.

That was an awesome video.

The only reference I didn't get was the larger man who was just sitting and singing at the computer. I must have missed that one.

First of all, that video is great. I didn't get all the references, but I like the song and the video is great.

As for Andy Warhol, he had it wrong. What's actually happened is that everyone is now famous to fifteen people.
