Here's a song/video I've been meaning to get to for a while now. "We Are All On Drugs" was the second single off Weezer's 2005 album "Make Believe". The song was released on the heels of "Beverly Hills"--and this song was chosen by the band as their next single. It began picking up big radio airplay until censorship hit an all time low and MTV demanded the band re-dub some lyrics.
"We Are All On Drugs" according to Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo the song wasn't just about drugs--more about addiction in our society (tv, internet, gambling, and relationships). However, MTV decided it was a rally cry for dopefiends from coast to coast. Thanks again to the network that brought us "The Hills", Weezer hand was forced. They redubbed the lyrics and the song was now called "We Are All In Love"...how lame.
Well, I will post the "Drugs" video--you can go look that version up on your own time. Scene for scene, the video is the exact same...just different lyrics. So, as I say everyday, enjoy Weezer's "We Are All On Drugs".
