In today's Tay Zonday news
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.
Is this guy's 15 minutes up pretty soon?
Nope.
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.
We have to get Weezer for our next asthma awareness event.
Great video.
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.
Yes! That is hilarious.
It all comes together.
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.

I thought the "Dramatic Look Gopher" was the one wayne likes to post...the pic of Goldy Gopher @ the Va. Tech Vigil.
I loved the video, but I'm enh on the song.
Tay Zonday rules!! That fifteen minute rule does not apply. His realm extends beyond mere mortal references of time.
I just have to say that it's a remarkable service solace has done.
Weezer rules the world and I, for one, welcome our new rocking masters.
I don't know their music that well, but they have at least three awesome videos... Islands in the Sun (the version with the animals), Buddy Holly (Happy Days), and this one,
