Description: Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo is seriously tripping in this video. He thinks that everyone he sees is lip-syncing his lyrics. Door to door proselytizers, a traffic cop, a soccer mom, the paperboy, a barber, a woman on TV: All of them are making the rocker very nervous. So nervous, in fact, that he's not paying attention when he accidentally gets smashed in the face by a wooden plank. Also not paying attention, however, is his ambulance driver who gets in an accident while taking him to the hospital. Something that's a bit unclear in the first part of the video is whether the people who chime in with the "on drugs" refrains are being confessional, or just taunting the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. Slight surreal touches (such as the water falling in the band's indoor performance room) and the fact that  the rocker is constantly greeted with dangerous incompetence seems to indicate that, yes, everybody is definitely on drugs.
