Weezer (also known as The Teal Album to separate it from the other band's self-titled releases) is the twelfth studio album and fifth Self-Titled Album by Weezer, released in 2019. It is notable for being a Cover Album of songs predominantly from The '80s.The album is believed to have been set in motion by an online campaign to get the band to cover Toto's "Africa," spearheaded in late 2017 by a Twitter account with the handle @weezerafrica run a by a 14-year-old fan. After several months, the band did respond...with a cover of a different Toto song ("Rosanna"). Eventually, they did release a cover of "Africa" in May 2018, which reached #51 on the Billboard Hot 100 (becoming the band's first hit on that chart since 2009's "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To"), as well as peaking at #1 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart (becoming the band's first #1 single since 2008's "Pork and Beans"). The cover also received a music video that notably spoofs the Spike Jonze-directed video for "Undone (The Sweater Song)", with none other than "Weird Al" Yankovic performing as a stand-in for frontman Rivers Cuomo.On January 24, 2019, the album was announced and released on the same day as a surprise ahead of the band's thirteenth album, also self-titled and referred to as The Black Album, which came out under two months later.The album received a mixed reception; while its light-hearted, seemingly self-aware style was enjoyed by some — with analyses even being made interpreting it as a satire of cover albums — it was taken by others as unimaginative and ultimately unnecessary ahead of The Black Album. | |

Self-Parody | |
| Weezer (The Teal Album) (Music) / int_1d52b714 | comment |
Self-Parody: The video for "Africa" is a parody of the video for Weezer's first single, "Undone (The Sweater Song)", featuring none other than "Weird Al" Yankovic as Rivers Cuomo. | |

Mythology Gag: The video for "Take On Me" features a fictionalized version of Rivers' high school band Avant Garde. | |

Miniscule Rocking: The longest song, "Billie Jean," runs 4:54, and the shortest, "Happy Together," runs a mere 2:25. The full album runs 36:18. | |

| Weezer (The Teal Album) (Music) / int_36ed3e1e | comment |
Ascended Meme: This album happened because the band responded to a fan request to cover "Africa" by Toto at the height of the song's memetic popularity. | |

The Cover Changes the Gender: Averted with their version of "No Scrubs," as Rivers sings the lyrics about loser guys completely straight, leaving out only Left-Eye's rap segment. | |

Genre Mashup: Not quite that extreme, but, their dives into R&B and metal are quite different for them. | |
