I love Weezer's Red Album because of The Greatest Man That Ever Lived which switched it music styles many times.

Get the Weezer mug.
A "Weezer Woosh" works like a rickroll, where a seemingly normal video, link, or image unexpectedly leads to the song "Buddy Holly" by the rock band Weezer, from the "Weezer Blue album".
Person #1: "Hey man I recorded this new guitar riff, what do you think of it?"
Person #2: "Let me see the video."
Person #1: *Plays the video of them practicing a guitar riff when suddenly the Weezer Blue album appears on screen followed by the song "Buddy Holly" playing
Person #2: Dang bro, I just got Weezer Wooshed
