Perpetuum Jazzile - Africa

I think their cover sounds too much like the original. What’s the point?
Next thing you know, Foo Fighters will cover Safety Dance
Wasn’t Weezer one of The Our Gang Kids?
Cover “Africa?” That song still, IMO is one of the greatest of all time. It can’t be covered. Just like Foo Fighters tried covering Baker Street. (Disclosure, I’m listening to it now ironically. Diana I had too may Spotted Cows again).
It’s good.
Weezer - Man, there is a name that I have not heard in a while.
later
Thats a very nice cover, very safe. I like it.. but for something with more of a twist, check this one out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH9FyLsfDzw
another marker in the descent of Western music
These guys are a major act and they haven’t in a decade produced something better than a cover of a mediocre band’s pop hit from 36 years ago.
Crap, we can’t write a hit song to save our lives. What to do? What to do? OH, I know!!! Lets re-record a big hit and then we’ll have a big hit too!
LOL. Pathetic.
This is the only Weezer I know.
Haven’t heard the newest version, but the original was great.
When Wheezer was big & touring a friend saw them & said it was the best concert he had ever attended.
They could have faded the heavy electric guitar at the end of the chorus instead of abruptly ending it where the electric piano picks up. It sounds bad. At best it is an ok cover, but I don’t see the hype over.
