==Overview==
==Overview==
"Dope Nose", along with "[[Hash Pipe]]" and "[[Slob]]", is one of the few [[Summer Songs of 2000]] tracks to be fully recorded and released on an album.  The song went through a slight metamorphosis during the ''Maladroit'' sessions, as its arrangement tightened up and became a more streamlined power pop tune.

==Music Video==
The music video was directed by [[Marcos Siega]], who previously directed the video for "[[Keep Fishin']]" and would later direct the video for "[[Beverly Hills]]". Before Weezer's label decided to hire [[Marcos Siega]] for the music video, [[Karl Koch]] purchased and rented props with the intent to direct his own music video for approximately $1000.<ref>[[Weezerpedia Discord Q&A with Karl Koch - March 2022]]</ref><ref>[[:File:Karl_Dope_Nose_Citation.jpeg]]</ref>

Koch recounted, in a Discord message made  [[March 19]], [[2022]], that he had originally intended to direct the video himself. He claims it was meant to be low-budget, and would have featured the band appearing similarly to how they later would in ''[[SZNS: Spring]]'' photoshoots.<ref>Karlophone. (March 20, 2022).

{{Karlify|ha! i wish.  But the look those guys had in the [https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/File:SZNZ-Spring-Bandphoto.jpg new photo] is actually very much like what I envisioned for the "Dope Nose" video, long ago. I had a treatment, had bought and rented some props, had a set carpenter friend working for free with a plan, and a free location. At the last minute the label decided to go "high budget" and use Marcos Siega again. My plan would have cost about $1000 and in my opinion would have been a lot more entertaining lol}}
