Which song by Weezer plays during the opening credits of Pixar's Cars 2?
Answer
You Might Think
“You Might Think” by Weezer plays during the opening credits of Pixar's Cars 2.
The song is a cover of The Cars' 1984 hit “You Might Think.” Weezer's version gives the opening a modern rock sound while connecting the sequel to the broader musical identity of the Cars franchise. The sequence introduces the film's international spy-thriller atmosphere before the story moves into its racing plot.
The song choice is especially appropriate because the original recording was by The Cars, the rock band whose name naturally echoes the film's subject. The title and band connection are deliberate musical wordplay, not a song performed by one of the film's characters.
Other Cars songs are frequently mixed up with this track. “Life Is a Highway,” performed by Rascal Flatts, is strongly associated with the first Cars, while “Find Yourself” appears on that film's soundtrack. “You Might Think” is specifically the Weezer recording used for Cars 2's opening credits.
