Because nobody on Datalounge is cool. I forgot.
How come none of you bitches told me Weezer made Weird Al Yankovic the star of their video for covering Toto's "Africa?"

Because it's a shitty cover devoid of any artistic merit.

The OG by Toto is one of my top 10 faves. Love this song.

Which one is Al?

Terrible. If you think that Weezer is cool in 2020 you must be very young and/or very new to American pop culture.

Al is playing the lead singer in the video, but it’s just lip sync.

Weezer’s Teal album is all covers of classics.
I particularly like their version of Ah-Ha’s “Take On Me” starring Scream Queen Finn Wolfhard.

They're all shitty covers with zero personality injected. Straight-up covers are not fun.

You're the one who didn't know about it OP. You're the most uncoool queen who ever cunted. Fuck off, cuntlette OP.
Besides, it's a dumbass bro culture song, and not at all cool. So you're even less cool for bring it up.
Also, no one uses 'cool' anymore, cuntlette.

DL kweens will be into Weezer's cover of "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics.

I don’t understand why people do covers exactly like the original. I’m still have a nostalgic love of Rivers’ voice tho.

Holy shit, did Weird Al seriously cut off his hair for this?

Most was fine, but there there were parts that sounded overproduced.

I don’t understand, did the lead singer die and they are having guest starts stand in for cover songs?

No, they're just trying to be funny or current with the videos.

I hate covers that bring absolutely nothing new to the table.
They may have just as well lip synched to the original.

It's a wedding band cover album, OP. Hardly earth shattering.

But it's funny with Weird Al.
