Kids / Pokerface

bit.ly/9IpZvl - Pre-order Hurley with exclusive vinyl and merchandise options
Weezer covers MGMT and Lady Gaga all in one song - footage pulled from 5/09 live shows.

[@Moonpies]

I love the "let's have some fun" part, with Rivers throwing the sofa cushion into the crowd. And it is NOT a lip sync fail. The video footage is spliced together from at least 2-3 different performances from May. If anything it's either a video editing fail or -- more likely -- a KZbin encoding fail on Google's end. Weezer rocks -- even when they're all on synths!

[@ReverendA7Xz]

"That's what I call getting our groove on. 2008!... I mean 2009!" That man is amazing.

[@DankMcMuffins]

I remember loving this when it came out despite not really being into MGMT or Gaga. Hard to believe it's already been almost ten years since this was released. I still really love this mash up/cover.

[@ToxPhy]

I like MGMT, Gaga, and Weezer so I guess it’s a triple win for me. (I’d suggest at least trying to listen to Oracular Spectacular or The Fame/The Fame Monster at least once though. If it’s not for you that’s cool but I personally love ‘em.)

[@absolutelynotjames]

wow 2009 rivers was a different energy

[@SquidlyMuffin]

omg >.< his voice is gorgeous for both of these songs.

[@pablo3168]

seeing the old comments makes me forget weezer were still going strong through the '00s and '10s

[@AnnaLassing]

You gotta love how human he is. He rocks because he is not a rock god. He is a man. A deeply flawed, but talented man.

[@SecretTimeWarp]

GAAAH. The synth in "Poker Face" sounds like the creepy Chicago tornado siren.

[@revolvingroses]

This is why I love Weezer. The Pokerface bit had me laughing out loud.

[@BacklightProductions]

weeeiiiiird. rivers singing the "bluffin muffin" part of pokerface..... uh.... really cool!

[@pamelacurrlin6850]

The more I see of these guys, the more I respect them. Old music, new music, covers... love it all! Love this 😍

[@whitelightning1683]

He doesn't know what to do with his hands! lmao....still awesome, Go WEEZ!

[@Poppomatic64]

2008!! I Mean 2009!! 😂😂

[@thatssofetch3481]

Love how this was in may too so he was 5 months into 2009

[@InterplanetJanet77]

I never realized how much I love hearing a boy sing Poker Face until now.

[@guidolaiacona3715]

So funny, i love it when a band has fun and doesn't care what people will say, they just have fun. That's being in a band's like, doing stupid songs just for fun

[@TweekDash]

How are these stupid songs though?

[@SnootzDog]

@@TweekDash I think they meant like the mashup of songs is pretty silly, but fun

[@jbelcher74]

first time I've heard this. That's an awesome cover. I'm going to go purchase it from iTunes right now. In fact just done. Totally worth the 99 cents.

[@Emilyexists]

This is too much good all in one! Gaga, Weezer, and MGMT are definitely in my top 10 for best live performers. Dance PArtay

[@oasisoasis21]

rivers is such an AMAZING singer...he has never lost his voice since 1994 always perfect pitch...

[@VCTRSNRS]

Weezer did this same Kids/Pokerface medley/cover at the Del Mar Racetrack near San Diego yesterday. Damn they sounded so awesome live! Rivers sounded incredible...great voice. Pat was awesome on the drums too, not to mention the band as a whole! Oh and big ups to the sounds guys...the bass was heart-pounding and so dope. Weezer rules!!!

[@reaperx7x]

can't get this song out of my hear WEEZER rocks

[@oooBUBU7ooo]

"2008! I mean, 2009!"

[@endgameisbad2733]

Which was their best year

[@stuckonaname4182]

i know that i'm years late, but they really popped off here. love them sm

[@macdippy4867]

That transition is so smooth👌😩

[@trustysteeb27]

hahaha the dude in the crowd, you are a born dancer.

[@karenlarson9365]

rivers is the most beautiful thing to ever grace this planet when he does a cover he puts the original singer to shame.

[@gpoop23]

Yeah. I think I can say I enjoy every cover Weezer does better than the original, and the originals are often great tracks!

[@solstrife558]

hail Rivers!

[@purpleXshades]

This is INCREDIBLE Weezer forever.

[@Didgeman80]

These covers and music styles really show just how much Weezer has branched out over the past few years. I think that these boys will be making some very new, (different from the old Weezer style), music. This is hard for a band to do!! Let's see how they do it. I remember when the Smashing Pumpkins changed their style......mixed reviews. I think these covers are awesomely cool!!!!!! :)

[@onyasay]

his voice is frickin amAZING with this song!

[@agramsci]

Rivers--I was in city park in New Orleans that night when you played this at Voodoo. And MGMT had just done it. And you guys killed it. I love you.

[@soarenhigh]

for the record...I love his dancing x3

[@MrNattyyyNoodles]

This is the best thing my ears have ever had the priviledge of hearing.

[@mrbill1000]

That is a lot of respect for MGMT for sure. Great cover, MGMT should be honored for that. And the lady gaga thing was awesome.. I listen to mostly rock but i think its non human to not think that song is catchy.

[@tfandthefoolz]

How can anyone not like this?! It's two great pop songs combined and covered by one of the only gen x bands that are still relative. Also, if you have been successful in the music business since 1993 like Weezer has, there is not much left to do. Why not go out and have some fun? =w=!

[@hotforewan]

Man I swear he could remake anything and it would sound awesome every time!!

[@bennyandjoon121691]

I love to hear Rivers say "I'm marvelous" in this.

[@TheMorfiend]

damn thems sum great covers

[@Crawfinator]

its 2018 nearly 2019 and Im still reppin this bad boy in my playlist

[@AngrierGorilla]

2018... I mean 2019

[@DodoShow94]

i love these songsss.

[@slop101]

Wow - Rivers' live singing has gotten a lot better since the last time I saw them.

[@saharnwate]

I’m from 2022. Now he sings even better!

[@g8btony]

the most fun i've seen weezer have on stage in a loooong time!

[@superdanuk]

great covers!. Who would have thought Weezer would ever do something like this?!

[@mikewazowski350]

Weezer covering MGMT Kids and Lady Gaga's Pokerface while the camera crew is using the Blair Witch technique.

2008- i mean 2009!!!

[@makinbacon855]

love this cover, i still listen to it like 3 years later

[@GarethMatteson]

When he's doing the rap part, he sounds just like gaga.

[@jdzialo24]

this was pretty sick

[@UltrabionicAnge]

Seriously Most awesome cover EVER. This should've been the song of the (forgotten) summer

[@GordosMama1111]

4:57 is the best part lol

[@Nessamazing101]

i always hated the fact of ANY bands doing ANY covers of MGMT but i gotta admit, he did a really badasss job his voice sounds good singing it. and the piano tooo

[@Gamercatos]

2008 I mean 2009 XD

[@nakgriffin]

That....was...beautiful.

[@yung_poe]

Sounds great, but it's just not weezer. Glad they are back.

[@kitthygrrr1517]

is weezer they are doing covers :.

[@streethalo]

this is exactly what weezer is

[@RandomPerson1]

I agree! Love Weezer and MGMT!

[@keenansmith6163]

To think this band was the same band that wrote songs like In the Garage, and Only In Dreams... Pathetic. Glad they're back

[@byron3718]

I know it's a old comment but they pick up in quality again in EWBAITE and the White album. Those are two great albums.

[@TheEstebandidox]

@@byron3718 i come from the future and weezer screwed it up big time with teal and black

I like how he messes up the date hahaha. Love Weezer

[@coolduderyan07]

Absolutely amazing.

two songs that i love

[@WoWMaily]

In one word: awesome

[@ThisIsJessPaul]

YES! They pulled off kids WONDERFULLY! Rivers sounded GREAT!

[@etherama1]

@mugsdil i don't know if you understood the question. this is a medley of Kids and Pokerface, two songs that were released long after pinkerton.

[@jlpesq]

I love this song!

[@lifewithbeats]

i've seen so many bands cover Kids, but this is just... wow!

[@AIienware]

I've listened to weezer old work for a while and never seen them sunk this low.

[@DDRsensation]

omg i've been looking for the name of this song for the longest time. much appreciated. :D awesome video as well

[@mynameis214365]

They just took an awesome song and made it awesome

[@craigthered]

this is freaking awesome

rivers has been my hero since 1994, this is the first time iv'e ever doubted his genius!!!

[@seventieslutonig8601]

awww the way he say gracias it's so bonito

Man the transition between kids and poker face was smooth sweet ass shit!! :) nice cover!!! WEEZER!

[@athecheat]

the only digestible form of Gaga, Weezer you always rock.

[@shadowblind07]

Just got back from hearing this live at Voodoo Music Experience in NOLA. So awesome...

[@JJackAL52]

Excellent 'Kids' cover !!!

[@tashevil]

That was ridiculously good!!!

[@Neto808]

@danieldubinsky Obviously they replaced the audio in favor of a studio version. Weezer never lip syncs and you can hear them playing Kids/Pokerface live in other videos.

[@Rene85]

i was there!!! they were pretty kool!

[@amaster3thousand]

Quite possibly the greatest thing i have ever heard.

[@imputman]

great song done by them wish i had !!

[@BrianOLearybriguyflblue112107]

awesome video and great mashup by weezer

[@Daarko15]

This is brilliant and both songs blend well with a Weezer twist, this is clearly a talented cover of both songs. I love MGMT and think Weezer did a great job, but I ignore Lady Gaga. II also agree this should be downloadable.
