#14 Keep Fishin' - Weezer meets the Muppets.


Since day one Weezer have produced consistently excellent videos. Sure, they slipped up a little with the lame Marco Siega directed clip for the equally lame track Hashpipe, but now it seems they're returning to form. First they lured Spike Jonze back to video directing for Island in the Sun. Their latest video puts the band in the guest-starring spot on the original Muppet Show, recreating the original backstage set. Tons of classic characters make appearances including Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, Statler and Waldorf and The Swedish Chef. The only anachronism is a walk-on from the Pepe the Prawn. I guess rats are out and shrimp are in.
