One particular song on the album that caught the attention of the Internet was Weezer’s cover of TLC’s 90’s classic “No Scrubs”.
Weezer’s front man Rivers Cuomo delivered a few bizarre reasons as to why and how he wanted to cover “No Scrubs”.

Twitter wasn’t really feeling Weezer’s version of “No Scrubs”.

Weezer covering No Scrubs sounds like what I tell myself I sound like when I sing it in the shower. 🎤

I wanna go back in time to the minute before I knew Weezer's "No Scrubs" cover was a thing

Weezer covering No Scrubs goes against pretty much everything I believe in. pic.twitter.com/hjdTAoOWiD
