There is something weirdly hypnotizing about this song, I don’t know what it is but it puts me in a certain mood where I don’t know if I’m happy or not?
For me I feel a kinda bittersweet nostalgia. The video is nostalgic of happy days from the 80s which is nostalgic of the60s and the lyrics reference buddy holy from the 60s. Even weezer's sound is sort of a relic from 2000's which has its own nostalgia.
30 years on, this video still rules. My first time seeing it wasn’t on the Windows 95 disc, but on MTV’s 20th Anniversary special where they just aired nothing but music videos from 1981-2001. This one played and I had never seen anything like it.
As a 12 year old in 1995, it took me about a year and a half to realize that weezer was in fact NOT a band from the 50s that happened to be in a sitcom from the 70's and for some reason ended up on the win95 installation disk.
I think the reason it was bundled on win95 disc as an "extra" was to demonstrate an example of high quality video playback. I definitely remember playing this repeatedly and it just being neat to see a music video on my computer. Around those times seeing any video on a computer was usually from a CD ROM and low quality, and we certainly didn't stream or download videos from the web very much.
Same. I also thought Nirvana was from the 50’s because of the In Bloom video. I didn’t realize they were the same band that did Smells Like Teen Spirit until one of my buddies gave me a tape of Nevermind.

That particular bit is what brought me here actually... heart it in a vid about frogs on tiktok and I recognized it and couldn't remember what it was from for a few minutes. I was almost resigned to asking about it in the comments on the vid and probably never getting an answer but then I had an inkling of a thought of where it could be from. Luckily I was right
I remember the first time I saw this on MTV. Mom was in the room, and when I saw that it was Weezer, I cringed, because I had already heard "Say It Ain't So" and I was aware enough of her musical tastes that if this song was gonna sound anything like that one, she was gonna hate it. I braced myself for her to be all like "Turn off this crap!" but then as they busted into the song, I realized oh hey, this is a little bit more up her alley. Wonder of wonders, we made it through the whole song without one complaint! I guess you have to understand that I've always been a little bit over-sensitive about people criticizing music that I like, maybe 'cause it feels like they are criticizing a part of me? I don't know. I mean, for all I know, maybe she only tolerated it 'cause of the Happy Days stuff, but whatever. I got Mom to listen to a Weezer song. Small victories.
Wow I thought this was gunna be long but it was so nice also yes I hold songs too close to my heart and get hurt when even I know they’re maybe not musical masterpieces they just Touch Me
Its a way better song than say it aint so and so much instantly catchier likable and interesting. I bet she would like Island In The Sun Too. Anything that isnt weird and alternative
"girl" is not a made-up word. it is just archaic. its prominence traces to the 12th century. weezer were really into etymology, before the flood took them
I remember playing this song on my phone while hanging out with my mom. She burst out singing and asked me to replay it over and over. She doesn't always agree with the music that I listen to, so I'm happy we can bond over this. It's my ringtone for her now

Even some of us older Millennials can remember this! My parents also bought a Win 95 computer with the disc, it was a Packard Bell pentium 166mhz, 16MB of RAM 1MB of video memory and a 28.8 modem that was updated to the screaming fast 56K modem (still remember my dad saying this when he bought the modem)!

It wasn't the first time I heard the song, my parents listened to all rock radio as I was growing up and song was getting airplay here, the only Weezer song to get airplay here until Hash Pipe years later.
NOTE: Who Else remembers this VIDEO that came out with (the windows media player) Windows '95 Operating system. The Weezer and Edie Brickell "Good Times". It was the first Video I had ever played on my Computer. Produced by Gaffin Records. Those were the days my friends! We'd thought they'd never end.
This song is what got me through the flu when I was 9 years old and on the verge of death in 1994. It will always remembered as the song that gave me life. ✨
I had a time when I was vomiting and shite'n myself severely and the original Foo Fighters album got me through it. Mostly For All The Cows and This Is A Call. I believe I was 13.
The technology for this type of clip is commonplace nowadays. But when my 14 year old self first saw this in 1994 i was so genuinely mind blown that the only conclusion i could reach was that these guys were actually a much older group who had recorded that song years earlier and played it on a Happy Days episode. There was no other possible explanation.
I was 24 when the video came out and I still couldn't but think that I'd missed something on one of the "Happy Days" reruns. The production value of the video still hold up today tbh.
There was little to no technology used, and zero digital effects. I'd say the methods used here are largely dead because of (over)use of cgi, compositing etc today. Most of it is just alternating between old & new footage, along with 'Al' being acted in the new scenes by the original actor, in a recreated set. The new actors clothes aren't even identical, but it's close enough that you don't notice. None of the recognizable actors faces are ever shown in the new footage(with Weezer) for this reason, such as when 'the Fonz' is dancing and you only see him from the back. This is why it still looks good, because it's all real. The only thing I thought at the time they must've used some kind of effect for was having them with 'Al', as I didn't know the same actor did it.
Can we just acknowledge that this was made in the 90s and they made it look like they made it in a 70s show about the 50s!? This is absolute freakin genius! So seamless and done in such great taste!
hey, this might seem crazy but, i know the original buddy holly personally, my dad has worked with him and as a child i met him, he's a really nice guy! EDIT: it's a joke, not real. I only know the actor of the musical that plays him

Happy Days was a 70's sitcom show about the 50's, the better half of the 50's anyway. It was a great show and still holds up even today.

RIP to the man who produced this song, Mr. Ric Ocasek, Sep. 15, 2019.

NOTE: Who Else remembers this VIDEO that came out with (the windows media player) Windows '95 Operating system. The Weezer and Edie Brickell "Good Times". It was the first Video I had ever played on my Computer. Produced by Gaffin Records.
Those were the days my friends! We'd thought they'd never end.
I remember booting up Windows 95 in '98 and thinking i liked it better than the windows 98 they had at school

This song is what got me through the flu when I was 9 years old and on the verge of death in 1994. It will always remembered as the song that gave me life. ✨
Your life got saved by weezer lol that’s fucking awesome

That is crazy
Good luck on the rest of life!
I had a time when I was vomiting and shite'n myself severely and the original Foo Fighters album got me through it. Mostly For All The Cows and This Is A Call. I believe I was 13.
I like how this song just starts
No meandering around just straight into the music

Hi I Recommend a song & video called 'looking Into the Mirror' by Robert Nix
Like my life 😊
The technology for this type of clip is commonplace nowadays. But when my 14 year old self first saw this in 1994 i was so genuinely mind blown that the only conclusion i could reach was that these guys were actually a much older group who had recorded that song years earlier and played it on a Happy Days episode. There was no other possible explanation.
I was 24 when the video came out and I still couldn't but think that I'd missed something on one of the "Happy Days" reruns. The production value of the video still hold up today tbh.
There was little to no technology used, and zero digital effects. I'd say the methods used here are largely dead because of (over)use of cgi, compositing etc today.
Most of it is just alternating between old & new footage, along with 'Al' being acted in the new scenes by the original actor, in a recreated set.
The new actors clothes aren't even identical, but it's close enough that you don't notice. None of the recognizable actors faces are ever shown in the new footage(with Weezer) for this reason, such as when 'the Fonz' is dancing and you only see him from the back.
This is why it still looks good, because it's all real.
The only thing I thought at the time they must've used some kind of effect for was having them with 'Al', as I didn't know the same actor did it.
It’s also pretty cool they have period correct guitars, the bass is an original P bass with a single coil with no cover

Can we just acknowledge that this was made in the 90s and they made it look like they made it in a 70s show about the 50s!? This is absolute freakin genius! So seamless and done in such great taste!
Back in the 90s, I had thought this was done with CGI, but it's really just clever editing and using the real Al who was still alive at the time.
Why did you think they used CGI?
Yes, very cleverly done.
@@Miesko1 to get him to say Weezer.
@@electricneonblack6335 im pretty sure al himself said it
@@Miesko1 Uhh because they obviously juxtaposed Weezer to Happy Days filmed in two different eras
*Can't believe how timeless these tunes are! Thanks for keeping the spirit alive*
Honestly one of the best music videos ever. Fairly simple, and very clever. And appeals to old folks like me.
Old folks like you have very great taste in music.
My freshman year of high school (2005) I would DAILY download lime wire during computer class and then download Buddy Holly. Every day.
Linewire! 😂 remember it well. Many times I downloaded music vids and got a “surprise” as to what I had actually downloaded.
I like how everyone is having so much fun
true, specially when the performers Interact with the public
And then theres those 4 people in the back at 2:51 - 2:56
I mean who would it be that happy if Weezer was performing right in front of you
This Weezer song has been iconic since they sang it in the year 1994. 🤘🏿🤘🏿
Just saw them last night. This song will never get old .
