You never know.  When you sit down to write a song, you just might end up writing the Sugar, Sugar of 2011 and be this year’s Archies (for a while).  Foster the People’s Pumped Up Kicks has transcended the medium and is (so far) our pop song of the year.  The song has taken over the airwaves and invaded minds (just try kicking that chorus out of your cranium after you’re in its clutches).  Now watch Weezer (and crowd, replete with whistled chorus) up the ante and give a lively tribute to the song below.  Simply infectious.  Like SARS on steroids.

Two observations:  1) who knew the song’s lyrics were so “complex” that Rivers Cuomo would need a lyric sheet?; and 2) Weezer has now instructed Foster the People in how to play their own song live (we know, the Fosters are young; but please, let it fly fellas!).
