"'''Beginning of the End'''" is the fifth track from ''[[Van Weezer]]''. | |||
The song is a re-working of the demo "[[Rock and Roll Cockroach]]". The bridge is a modified version of the chorus for the song "[[Volunteers]]". On [[August 12]], Weezer's official Twitter account tweeted "Time to be Excellent, dudes" with an accompanying video of Cuomo performing a heavy metal guitar riff in his home. The song was released alongside its music video on [[August 14]] in the form of "'''Beginning of the End (Wyld Stallyns Edit)'''" as part of [[Bill & Ted Face the Music Original Motion Picture Soundtrack|the soundtrack to the film ''Bill & Ted Face the Music'']]. This version of the song removes the intro, removes a line in the first verse, removes two lines from the bridge, and has a slightly different ending. | |||
Musician [[Wikipedia:Billy_Joel|Billy Joel]] is a credited writer on "Beginning of the End". When asked about it on [[Riverchat]], Cuomo clarified: "Just a clearance thing. Very common in recent years. I don't think Billy Joel's written a song since the 90's." The film credits for ''Bill & Ted Face the Music'' note that the song "Contains an interpolation of '{{Wikipedia|The Longest Time}}' (B. Joel)" | |||
The music video for "Beginning of the End" was directed by [[Brendan Walter]] with cinematography by Eric Bader, and produced by Carling French. It was released alongside the song on [[August 14]], [[2020]]. | |||
