Song of the Day
Listen. As you can tell from the headline, my daughters have been incessantly watching one movie over and over, and listening to the soundtrack non-stop. So since it is stuck in my head (and the soundtrack slaps, IMO), today’s song is the best song off the OST.
Here’s the song as covered by Weezer, with help from Kristen Bell, and it’s just as insanely corny as you would imagine. The original, by the guy from Hamilton and Mindhunter, is really good too, but this is one of those “if I have to see it, so do you” situations.
(P.S. Rivers Cuomo and the rest of Weezer are getting SO old, what is happening?)
