"Hash Pipe" was the first single released from the band's long-awaited third album, ''Weezer'', and the only [[SS2K]] song to make it onto the album (although "[[Dope Nose]]" and "[[Slob]]" were later released on ''[[Maladroit]]''). According to an interview with [[Rivers Cuomo]], the song was written on the same night as "Dope Nose". The story is that he took "a bunch of Ritalin and had like three shots of tequila", paced around for a while, then wrote both songs. It was inspired by a male transvestite prostitute known for rambling to people in Santa Monica. | "Hash Pipe" was the first single released from the band's long-awaited third album, ''Weezer'', and the only [[SS2K]] song to make it onto the album (although "[[Dope Nose]]" and "[[Slob]]" were later released on ''[[Maladroit]]'').

The label was very reluctant to release a song like "Hash Pipe" as the album's lead single. They wanted to release "[[Don't Let Go]]" instead, but Rivers was adamant that "Hash Pipe" be the single. | The label was very reluctant to release a song like "Hash Pipe" as the album's lead single.
