"Hash Pipe" was performed live during the summer of 2000, and is considered one of the so-called "[[Summer Songs of 2000]]." A band demo of the song appeared as part of a semi-official "''SS2K''" album distributed by Cuomo to fans in [[2002]]. Cuomo sings "kiss me" instead of "kick me" on the second line of the chorus in this version, and has continued to sometimes sing it this way when performing the song in concert. | "Hash Pipe" was performed live during the summer of 2000, and is considered one of the so-called "[[Summer Songs of 2000]]."

Before recording it with Weezer, the band initially offered the song to musician [[Ozzy Osbourne]].<ref>Ryan, Gary. "[https://www.nme.com/features/music-interviews/does-rock-n-roll-kill-braincells-weezer-rivers-cuomo-3765447 Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo: “If Taylor Swift ever wants to make a rock album, I’d love to help out!”]" ''NME''. 21 June 2024.</ref> Said Cuomo, "I’d written the song with nobody in mind, and then Ozzy’s camp reached out to my manager and asked if we had a song, so I sent him ‘Hash Pipe’. He didn’t have any use for it at the time, so we ended up using it ourselves. We didn’t think it was going to work for Weezer. It seemed like an odd fit for us, but it worked really well out of the gate. It’s so fun to play live." | |||
