Weezer - Island In The Sun (spike Jonze Version) May 2026

The only song that can make me feel like I’m at the beach even when it’s raining outside. ☀️🌧️

Fun Fact: "Island In The Sun" almost didn't make it onto the Green Album ! It was producer Ric Ocasek who fought for its inclusion, and it went on to become one of Weezer's most streamed tracks of all time. Spike Jonze’s minimalist, animal-filled video was the perfect match for this laid-back anthem. 🌊🦁 Weezer - Island In The Sun (Spike Jonze Version)

Throwback to 2001! 💿 Did you know "Island In The Sun" actually has two music videos? While the first Marcos Siega version features a wedding, the Spike Jonze version is the fan-favourite—featuring the band hanging out with lions, monkeys, and bears on a hill outside LA. Truly an era-defining piece of alt-rock history. 🎸✨ 💿 Did you know "Island In The Sun"

Just me, the band, and a lion cub. Spike Jonze really knew how to capture a vibe. 🐾🎸
