Which song by Weezer plays over the end credits of Pixar’s Cars 2?

The story behind the answer

“You Might Think” by Weezer plays over the end credits of Pixar’s Cars 2.

The song is a cover of The Cars’ 1984 hit “You Might Think.” Weezer recorded its version specifically for Cars 2, linking the film’s music to the real rock band whose name also fits the automobile theme. The cover appears during the closing credits rather than serving as the film’s main original theme.

Cars 2 has a score by Michael Giacchino, who also composed music for several other Pixar productions. The film’s soundtrack combines Giacchino’s orchestral score with songs connected to its international racing and spy atmosphere.

The title is easy to confuse with other famous Weezer songs, especially “Buddy Holly” and “Island in the Sun.” Those songs are associated with Weezer’s broader catalog but are not the Cars 2 end-credit track. The underlying original was written and performed by The Cars, while the version used for the film was recorded by Weezer.
