Today’s song comes to us from the American alt-rock band that monopolized my Discman from age 13-16. While perusing Twitter this morning, I came across a twoot/tweet? from Stereogum highlighting this video, which was released via Weezer’s YouTube account yesterday; The original story can be found here. The video features spliced together concert footage as a backing to Weezer’s take on MGMT’s Kids and Lady Gaga’s Poker FacePoker Face reviews
. Although this cover likely won’t leave an imprint on music history, it’s fun, it’s Weezer, and it isn’t TroublemakerTroublemaker reviews

You were a child,
crawlin’ on your knees toward it.
Makin’ mama so proud,
but your voice is too loud.
We like to watch you laughing.
Pickin’ insects off plants.
No time to think of consequences.
Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wanting,
To be haunted.
(x2)
The water is warm,
but its sending me shivers.
A baby is born,
crying out for attention.
Memories fade,
like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions to decisions are made and not fought
But I thought,
this wouldn’t hurt a lot.
I guess not.
Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin’,
To be haunted.

Can’t read my,
Can’t read my
No she can’t read my poker face
(he’s got to love nobody)
(x2)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
(x2)
I won’t tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I’m bluffin’ with my muffin
I’m not lying I’m just stunnin’ with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I’m marvelous
Can’t read my,
Can’t read my
No she can’t read my poker face
(he’s got to love nobody)
(x2)
P-p-p-poker face, p-p-poker face
(Mum mum mum mah)
(x2)
Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin’,
To be haunted.
(x2)
