Oh,Asian Dramas Archives hello there! Looking to get doused in a bath of gimmicky nostalgia that somehow still rocks? Have we got the content for you!

During Weezer's Saturday night Coachella performance, the band covered TLC's "No Scrubs" and Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World," and the band brought out some of the original artists behind those hits.

The '90s/early 2000s nerdrock band, now experiencing a covers-fueled renaissance, performed "No Scrubs" alongside Chilli from TLC, and the classic '80s anthem with Tears for Fears members Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith.

The Tears for Fears rendition stays pretty true to the heartfelt original, while TLC's Chilli added some No Scrubs gravitas to the pop-rock-ified cover.

Fans watching the Coachella live stream (or, #Couchella), were delighted. That's potentially because the ones who grew up with Weezer, shouting "Undone (The Sweater Song)" while driving in their parents' hand-me-down cars, are now Elder Millennials, for whom the prospect of actually attending Coachella is a living nightmare — but it's pretty fun to witness the spectacle from the comfort of your couch.

In January, Weezer released a covers album, Teal, which features the TLC and Tears for Fears hits. The album rode the wave of viral success the band attained when they covered Toto's "Africa." They announced the album with a cover of "Take On Me," featuring Stranger Thingsstar Finn Wolfhard. Weezer also released a new album of originals, The Black Album, in March. But it's the band's ability to generate viral moments (see, this very story) that's propelling them back into relevance.

Should we be sad that teenage angsty icons have become basically a wedding band with a supersized platform? Well, we could. Or we could just accept the spectacle, and enjoy watching Chilli, Tears for Fears, and Rivers Cuomo and the boys do their thing. Everybody wants to rule the world.....
