Weezer has assembled an impressive roster of celebrities for the music video accompanying their latest single “C.E.O.” The nostalgic clip features appearances from professional skateboarder Tony Hawk, along with actors Giovanni Ribisi, Michael Peña, Rob Riggle, and Rob Huebel. The video serves as a creative callback to the band’s iconic 1994 music video for “Undone (The Sweater Song),” reimagining the original concept with a contemporary twist.
The video’s narrative centers on two corporate executives, portrayed by Riggle and Huebel, observing Weezer perform against a gold backdrop rather than the blue background from the original. The storyline takes a comedic turn when the director introduces a swarm of bees onto the set, causing the band members to abandon the shoot. They are subsequently replaced by lookalike performers, adding another layer of satirical commentary to the piece.
The song’s lyrics reflect frontman Rivers Cuomo’s perspective on the band’s enduring legacy and the challenge of moving forward artistically. Cuomo previously discussed the track with media outlets, explaining how the narrative explores his struggle with expectations tied to the group’s early work. The “C.E.O.” single marks another preview of Weezer’s forthcoming 20th studio album, scheduled for release on August 21.
