I love how "Friends of P" was so deadpan and static, and then the Rentals followed it up with a video that's in constant motion. Guys falling through the ceiling, car chases, bike tricks, and an effin' helicopter. Amazing. These guys should've been huge.
Synthesizers seen in this video: Moog Source (2x) (played by Jim Richards and Cherielynn Westrich) Moog Opus-3 (played by Maya Rudolph) Crumar GDS (played by Jim Richards) On the album, however, all of these are played mainly by Tom Grimley.
Some random trivia: Matt started The Rentals mainly because he wanted a project where he could work with Rachel & Petra from That Dog. In the early day of both bands, Weezer proclaimed That Dog to be their favorite band. Yes, that’s Maya on keyboards here. Before this gig, she was the original That Dog drummer (before they ever recorded anything). The friendships and intertwining lives and careers of the members of Weezer / The Rentals / That Dog go back to their high school days.
The woman doing the countdown -- that is Rachel Haden, the identical sister of violist-singer Petra Haden (Tanya was the other one--hence triplet sisters). Rachel was with The Rentals as a bass player and singer twice in her career. She was an original member but left the group shortly before the band's first CD was released, followed by Petra soon afterward.
Yeah, the Hadens were also in another great band That Dog. Tanya married Jack Black. I'm also pretty sure that's Maya Rudolph from SNL on the other keyboard/harmonizing.
Caleb Drew they ALL have money from one project or another. The Haden triplets are very talented and well paid, Maya Rudolph was born into money and is slap famous in her own right (SNL as well as several movies and shows) Matt had Weezer and other bands and projects, etc., etc....
For those of you who don't know who Maya Rudolph's mother is, she is none other than Minnie Riperton, a singer gifted for her amazing falsetto on the 1975 hit "Lovin' You."
Politico just published a lengthy profile on Cherie Westrich, the blonde keyboardist. She's now in the state legislature of Iowa and is a trump supporter. The other keyboardist is Maya Rudolph who went on to Saturday Night Live. Interesting legacy from a short-lived band.
I also want to say that the first couple of times I saw this video (back in 1996) that Petra's smile (as she does her mimed viola solo at the 2:03 mark) reminded me of Alanis Morissette with short hair.
Vi a The Rentals de teloneros de Blur en 1993. Personalmente, su actuación me gustó más que la de Blur. Es estupendo poder ver sus videos para recordar esos años de juventud.
Cherielynn.. ahhhhh so cute. I knew I recognized her from somewhere else, and it's Overhaulin! She was on Chip's A-team! She's quite the badass car gal. Super nice and very talented.
There’s another version of this video that replaces some of it with clips from the movie “Joe’s Apartment.” That was the version I saw the most when it aired. Can’t even find it on RUclips.
Man. How good Weezer could have been had Matt Sharp stayed in the band. I love Weezer so I can’t even imagine. All these years later this tune still rocks!
@MrJackMeOffski Well it's a good thing you looked it up, found this video, probably played it, clicked on the comment box, and typed those three words.
@chernovid Do you mean... Cherielynn Westrich??? She is the main female singer on this Rentals album only; for the next release, 1999's Seven More Minutes, she was replaced by the other Rentals female singer (and violinist) Petra Haden. Both of these members are not present in the current Rentals lineup, nor is touring member/SNL alumnus Maya Rudolph.
I think everyone on here knows that Maya Rudolph in the band but did anyone realize that the blonde female, Cherielynn Westrich, was on the show Overhauling and is currently running for the Iowa State House of Representatives as a Republican?

Friends of P was basically the worst song they couldn't made a single
@@CB0STL They had way better songs that could have been lead singles instead of Friends Of P.
Remember
Astute observation my friend 🤘
And: IN COLOR!
I always like to think the helicopter that picks up Matt at the end of the video is Rivers taking him back to record Pinkerton.
Luke O'Brien lol
5 years later=still resonates
Nailed it.
MATT...GET IN HERE....I'M SAD!
He does it for the children.
One of my favourite time capsules.
This never aged (or only to become even better like a strange but great wine), never became old.

Songs from the black hole
What high school? Fairfax? Hollywood?
I think of The Rentals and Weezer as being like ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) and The Move.

I didn’t realize that was her

@@POPNDOUGHthat dog. was amazing. Did they ever tour with The Rentals?
This video is SO GOOD needs more Maya though.
I bought the first album back in 94 and loved this song. Had no idea there was a video for it. What a find
It's wasn't out in 94
I hope these guys made some money. I used to rock out to this in my '85 Hyundai Pony on the way to high school in 1996. :D

I love her album "Come to My Garden"
just played the riff over and over on guitar... sounded awesome.
Remember
I'm here for Maya. I love her.
Same!
I’m curious who the blonde girl is
@@Veinyboi shes cherielynn westrich, shes a member of the house of representatives, a republican. its sad tbh
@@whenyoufoundme. why is it sad? ppl can believe what they want
@@JohnDoe-sx2zk Tell that to a Republican
I used to listen to this song everyday on my way to high school for 2 years straight.
And this comment was commented 2 years ago for me
@@josesorola5793 now 4 years
@@canarchist4900 now 6
2024 and this song still fucking bops. Doesn’t ever hurt to have Rachel Haden from That Dog providing some violin.
I love this video :) its so cute and goofy with the cute girls singing and the speeding car, the helicopter and bicycle race
This song/video makes me happy and sad at the same time, like a good dream that I woke up from.

Their sound is so crisp and clean. The blonde-haired lady's voice is wonderful and I love the harmonies she sings.
That's Cherielynn Westrich. Her voice is sublime.
I awoke from troubled slumber and this song was in my head and kicked the funk to the curb.I think that I will watch it again.
Wow, I miss this decade.
Damn I didn't know there was a video for this song! I'm in my 40s and I've been living under a rock lol
I saw Weezer and No Doubt together at great woods back in 98'- awesome performances, the good old days...
I love nice sunburst Fender Jazzmaster electric guitar :) The Rentals rocked hard
Young Maya Rudolph FTW
good eye most dont know that
before they were stars. upgraydd will still find her here tho
cauchamar
I guess this makes you cooler than the rest
pre nose job
@@bevrosity lol
This video kicks ass. I've loved this song since it came out and can't believe I never saw the video.
I miss this weezer and rentals era. And then that bass player who replaced sharp for the green album who did a lot of drugs... He was a cool guy RIP
Why doesn't this have at least a million views? Music RUclips is failing music.
02:26 Spit take hits Cameraman instead of showering lens 😂 that’s a keeper📢
Awesome stunts! Oh and a great song to boot. :D
Reminds me of "The Good Life" music video
yes, me too
Freshman year, every time.....
That synth/Moog hook is crazy catch.
The rentals are underrated
7 years later they still are
Minnie Ripperton's daughter is doing alright
This is definitely what I want The Glowing Stars new cover to be :)
I also want to say that the first couple of times I saw this video (back in 1996) that Petra's smile (as she does her mimed viola solo at the 2:03 mark) reminded me of Alanis Morissette with short hair.
this song is sick
The 90s were such a silly, fun time.
The Good Place brought me here!
Vi a The Rentals de teloneros de Blur en 1993. Personalmente, su actuación me gustó más que la de Blur.
Es estupendo poder ver sus videos para recordar esos años de juventud.
love this song.
SO MUCH
Masterfully written from beginning to end and in-between
Cherielynn.. ahhhhh so cute. I knew I recognized her from somewhere else, and it's Overhaulin! She was on Chip's A-team! She's quite the badass car gal. Super nice and very talented.
And she was elected to the Iowa House of Representatives. She's a triple threat.
@@TomO-jv7jbhow’s her politics?
There’s another version of this video that replaces some of it with clips from the movie “Joe’s Apartment.” That was the version I saw the most when it aired. Can’t even find it on RUclips.
watched this at 3 am ON 120 minutes
So great...
The drummer is my dad
Michael Fletcher mine too
The singer is all of our dads
I'm the drummer
la violinista es mi tía
You’re my dad.
That must be one heckuva bass strap...
THE RENTALS ROCK!!!!
Kickass...all good ones!
im a good guy for a gal!!
*OOO WOO HOO HOO*
God bless the 90's and insomnia, the couple brought me back together with this rad song, bizarre music video lots of production value
Excellent souvenirs!
I wish weezer had the chicks with em. They really made the rentals stand out.
They called it the lost decade. "They" God i swear watched this vid like 50 times too many yesterday. Wonder whut Matt's up to these dayz
holy shit, this video is awesome!
Lol I love how the opening is just like the Monkees head movie! Porpoise Song indeed
Very cool!
Feel good song
I only learned that Mata Rudolph was with The Rentals when Iheard it from the podcast Q with Tom Power.
nice story from 90's😊
Who’s listening in 2020?
Remember hearing this song back when it was released. Am thrilled to hear it always. Read, Thomas C.Stuhr
THE WORLD'S MOST UNDERGROUND AUTHOR. ❤☠☘
What’s so great about “underground?”
the second best weezer album after the blue
It’s like Weezer and That Dog had a less pretentious baby 😂
0:10 the face I made when I heard the bell during grade school. xD
Perfect Corona Virus Song 😷
this song is now offically on my ipod
sweet tune
On keyboard that's Miya from SNL.
Yea, that's Maya Rudolph. Interesting only 3 passing shots of her in the video.
I have a HUUUUUGEA Crush on Maya.....i get it .. whatever her charm is I got it...
@XgiantX
It was actually Roman Coppola, son of the famous director Francis Ford Coppola.
@turbine216
She was also the inspiration for "Lovin' you is easy 'cause you're beautiful" Her mum wrote/sang that lovely tune♥
PETRA!!!!
0:32 Now thats an entrance!
Great use of Moogs. Mooger Foogers!
How am I JUST learning that Maya Rudolphs mother is Minnie Riperton?!!!
One of the funest music Videos I have ever seen :D!
Petra Haden FTW.
I totally forgot about this 😞
Man. How good Weezer could have been had Matt Sharp stayed in the band. I love Weezer so I can’t even imagine. All these years later this tune still rocks!
Mayaaaaa woooooo
I've always seen this song as Matts breakup letter to Weezer.
Sad face...
@@kevlar0486 or weezer
Mee tooooo
"No four part
barbershop harmony."
[remembers "My Evaline"]
Yep. I'd say so.
the rentals
The Rentals own.
Cherielynn Westrich's vocals are amazing
she is a politician now :)
Mayaaaa
could music make you feel any happier?
@MrJackMeOffski Well it's a good thing you looked it up, found this video, probably played it, clicked on the comment box, and typed those three words.
@turbine216 HOLY SNAPS! you're my mind! i was like "is that Maya Rudolph... and i see your post! haha
In a way, my favorite band ever

boy this video is a crazy train
An underrated and short lived band- formed after dude had a falling out with Weezer. Wish they had more tunes.
They had a new album in 2020...
I think everyone on here knows that Maya Rudolph in the band but did anyone realize that the blonde female, Cherielynn Westrich, was on the show Overhauling and is currently running for the Iowa State House of Representatives as a Republican?
But- did you know Maya Rudolph is Minnie Ripperton;s daughter Mr. Smarty Pants?
JeffPDX1 Yes but I didn’t want to sound like a nerd. I might be too late.
A nerd would have pointed out the highest note Minnie Ripperton ever recorded ruclips.net/video/jENInTqaziQ/видео.html
@Cocteau120 this is awessomme
"Campfire Tales!"
Yes, she's Maya Rudolph
It never occurred to me that Maya Rudolph was in the rentals, thanks tictok
I guess I never would have noticed either if not for this comment section. What a crazy trip.
