Weezer Covers BoA, Risks My Unbridled Fury
I admit that Weezer’s recent resurgence of Pork & Beans (a lesson in Internet Famous) was good enough to make me appreciate their skills. Hell, I may even like them again. But now they’re stepping in sacred waters. Now they dare to cover multilingual K-Pop, J-Pop Korean star BoA “Meri Kuri.”
Singing about dorks on the Internets is one thing. When you start crossing linguistic barriers and step into the awesome of the BoA zone, you best bring your A game.
What I’m hearing here (below) is B minus at best.
Hear “Meri Kuri” as the mega-hotness that is BoA intended under the cut.
