First of all, I’m a huge Weezer fan. I think I became a fan shortly before the green album came out, and like most, I was in love with the blue album and Pinkerton. I’ve loved every album that has come out since (some more than others).
Before I go any further, check out Weezer’s newest video: “Pork and Beans”
It is basically a collage of some of the greatest Youtube viral videos of all time. Just a few are the Numa kid, Chocolate Rain kid, the jedi, and GI Joe (“Holy cow I’m totally going so fast!”… best one). If you are part of the YouTube generation, you have to love this music video (or at least appreciate it).
Can you go viral?
Without a doubt, the most inexpensive way to make a lot of money is viral marketing. That Numa Numa video has over 13 million views! Now just imagine if that t-shirt of his had a website on it to a zip submit or something like that. I bet at least 5% of that the viewers would look at the website. That’s over 500k visitors, most of them probably young and gullible. What a great demographic to have!
So if you ever have an idea for something that will go viral (video, song, website, etc.)… let me know and I’d be glad to give you a hand!
