Watch Kelly Clarkson Perform ‘Say It Ain’t So’ With Weezer  

Kelly Clarkson and Weezer joined forces for a special edition of “Kellyoke,” showcasing the band’s 1994 hit “Say It Ain’t So.” On the most recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Clarkson and the rock band teamed up for a lively rendition of the track, with her and frontman Rivers Cuomo sharing vocals.

Band members Rivers Cuomo and Patrick Wilson also sat down with Clarkson to discuss their career and to reflect on the 30th anniversary of their debut self-titled LP, also known as the Blue Album. “I love the album myself,” Cuomo told Clarkson. “I love playing those songs.”

Clarkson, who admitted her energy seemed like too much for the reserved musicians, asked them to explain where the name Weezer initially came from. “That’s what my dad called me when I was like two or three years old,” Cuomo replied. “‘Hey Weezer.’”

Weezer recently announced they will be embarking on the Voyage to the Blue Planet Tour this fall to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Blue Album. The band will kick off their tour on Sept. 4 in Saint Paul, before stopping in Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., and Seattle. They’ll close at the yet-to-be-opened Intuit Dome on Oct. 11. The band is expected to play the iconic album, which includes singles “Undone,” “Buddy Holly,” and “Say It Ain’t So,” in full, along with fan-favorites and rarities.

Rolling Stone ranked the Blue Album as one of the 500 greatest albums of all time. “Released in 1994, it’s the geeky, equally angsty little brother of Pearl Jam’s Ten and Nirvana’s Nevermind, somehow both more sincere and more ironic than its predecessors, and in some ways bolder in its disregard for the old rules of rock,” read a review of the LP.

The band performed “Buddy Holly” on John Mulaney’s Everybody’s in L.A. last week along with Pinkerton single “The Good Life.”
