Weezer launches new channel on YouTube

Hit modern rock band Weezer, whose latest hit is called "Pork and Beans," just launched a new channel on YouTube.  The video for the single, which can seen above, is the first of its kind featuring several YouTube “stars” – like the "Numa Numa" guy, the "Evolution of Dance" guy and "Chocolate Rain" star Tay Zonday.

Earlier this year, Weezer front man Rivers Cuomo enlisted the help of his fans to help write a song and has since made music videos like this one, called "Bridge Lyrics." Rivers’ channel and his videos push what seems to be YouTube's main intention: to bring its community of users together -- the platinum-selling rock stars, the wannabes and everybody in between.
