<\/div>\n

Weezer<\/a> have teamed with Calpurnia \u2013 the indie rock band led by\u00a0Stranger Things<\/em>\u2018 Finn Wolfhard \u2013 for a nostalgic new video for their cover of a-ha<\/a>\u2019s \u201cTake On Me.\u201d The track appears on Weezer\u2019s new self-titled covers record, also known as The Teal Album<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the video, Wolfhard plays a young Rivers Cuomo, an aspiring rocker done-up with massive metalhead hair, who leads Calpurnia through Weezer\u2019s rendition of \u201cTake On Me\u201d in the living room of his parents\u2019 house. In a nod to a-ha\u2019s famous music video, the clip jumps between live footage and intricate pencil animations of the band\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

The decision to tap Calpurnia for the \u201cTake On Me\u201d video is particularly fitting since the group notably covered<\/a> Weezer\u2019s classic \u201cSay It Ain\u2019t So\u201d for Spotify\u2019s Under Cover<\/em> podcast last year.<\/p>\n

Weezer surprise-released<\/a> The Teal Album<\/em> in January, eight months after they scored a surprise hit<\/a> with their fan-demanded cover of Toto\u2019s \u201cAfrica.\u201d<\/a> The album also includes renditions of the Turtles\u2019 \u201cHappy Together,\u201d Tears for Fears\u2019 \u201cEverybody Wants to Rule the World,\u201d Black Sabbath\u2019s \u201cParanoid,\u201d Ben E. King\u2019s \u201cStand By Me\u201d and more,<\/p>\n

On March 1st, Weezer will release their 13th studio album, The Black Album<\/em><\/a>, which was produced by TV On the Radio\u2019s Dave Sitek. Weezer will embark on a North American tour in support of the LP March 8th in Louisville, Kentucky.<\/p>\n
