(12/23/02, 12 p.m. ET) - Weezer's version of the Turtles' hit "Happy Together" was rejected by their old pal, director Spike Jonze, when he was assembling his new film Adaptation.
Jonze, who worked on the classic Weezer Happy Days-themed video for "Buddy Holly," among other clips, initially approached the band for a cover version of the song to include in his forthcoming movie, Adaptation. Jonze reportedly liked the Weezer version but couldn't find a way to work in the re-vamped classic. The director went with the original Turtles version of "Happy Together."
After a limited engagement in selected cities, Adaptation is set for a national release January 10. Darren Davis, New York For more news at LAUNCH, click here.
