Her callousness and disregard leads to multiple band members being injured while trying to impress her, leaving only frontman Rivers Cuomo unhurt, though upon seeing his injured bandmates, Cuomo rejects the woman, to their approval.http://vh1brasil.uol.com.br/videos/?vid=447636 Clipes - Mais Vistos - Hoje VH1 Brasil Vh1brasil.uol.com.br 2011-03-31 2011-12-31 "Marc Webb has created a kind of '50s small town for us to live in," Cuomo told MTV, "And basically it's just populated by the four members of Weezer. So we're just hanging out, driving around, filling up our trucks with gasoline. Basically being guys, and that's what Weezerville is like." "The idea of the video is really simple: It's a town that's made up of clones of Weezer. There are multiple versions of Brian [Bell] and Patrick [Wilson] and Scott [Shriner] and Rivers, and they're just going about their business, until one day, this woman shows up," Webb continued. "And after that, everything basically goes to hell."Montgomery James Weezer Create Their Very Own Weezerville For New Video http://www.mtv.com/news/1622595/weezer-create-their-very-own-weezerville-for-new-video/ https://web.archive.org/web/20170113105420/http://www.mtv.com/news/1622595/weezer-create-their-very-own-weezerville-for-new-video/ dead January 13, 2017 mtv.com 11 January 2017 Track listing Digital download "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" – 3:28 7-inch picture disc "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" – 3:28 "Should I Stay or Should I Go" (live; The Clash cover) – 3:07 Promo radio CD "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" – 3:28 Promo 7-inch orange vinyl "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" – 3:28 "I Woke Up in Love This Morning" (The Partridge Family cover) – 3:01 Personnel Personnel taken from Raditude CD booklet.
