Rivers Cuomo made Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" significantly nerdier when Weezer coveredon wednesday it in New York City (Oct. 28) night. According to Stereogum, Cuomo, clad in a geeky track suit, performed the Grammy Award winning tune before the rest of Weezer joined him on stage for the gig at the P.C. Richard & Song Theatre. Cuomo clearly isn't that familiar with the song, since he had a music stand with the lyrics to "Viva La Vida" set up in front of him, but he made sure to do a lot of hand-waving a la Chris Martin. We aren't sure what Martin would think of Cuomo slapping his own butt to the beat, though. We're also not sure what's with the Tai Chi movements before the bridge of "waaaa-ooohhhhh ohhh ohhh"s at the end of the song, but anyway, it's still hilarious.Weezer's seventh studio album, Raditude, is out Tuesday (Nov. 3).
