Which song by Weezer appears in the end credits of Pixar's Cars 2?

The story behind the answer

Weezer's version of “You Might Think” appears in the end credits of Pixar's Cars 2.

The song was originally recorded by The Cars and released in 1984 on the album Heartbeat City. Weezer recorded a cover for the Cars 2 soundtrack, connecting the movie's automotive subject to the band whose name already suggested the film's theme. The cover plays over the end credits rather than serving as the movie's main opening song.

Cars 2 contains several notable songs associated with its international spy and racing atmosphere. “Collision of Worlds,” performed by Brad Paisley and Robbie Williams, is a prominent original song from the soundtrack. “You Might Think” is distinct because it is a cover of a classic new-wave hit by The Cars.

This track is often mixed up with “Life Is a Highway,” which Rascal Flatts recorded for the first Cars film, or “Real Gone,” performed by Sheryl Crow in Cars. Those songs belong to the earlier movie's soundtrack, not the end credits of Cars 2.
