The original, full-length ''Green Album'' studio version is no longer in use, and was replaced by a shorter edit on reprints. This edit cuts the first chorus in half (ending after "eyes wide"), and both ascending bridge sections were removed from the end of the second and third choruses. This edit summarily replaced the original studio versions on repressings of the album, and is heard on the edited "Hash Pipe" video on the DVD ''[[Video Capture Device]]''. | The original, full-length ''Green Album'' studio version is no longer in use, and was replaced by a shorter edit on reprints.

Also, an edit of the song, which changes the lyrics to "Half Pipe", was serviced to radio stations that objected to the drug reference in the song's title. | |||
===Remix=== | |||
Three official remixes of the song were released in 2001. Chris Vrenna's "Kick Me" and "Under Glass" remixes were released on the "Hash Pipe" 12" remix single - which was Weezer's first 12" single. The record also featured [[Jimmy Pop]]'s remix of the song - a version that was also released on multiple international releases singles, as well as a one-track CD-R promo in the UK. The two Vrenna mixes were released on the official site in 2001 as 128K-quality mp3s with no record noise. It has been speculated that either webmaster [[Karl Koch]] removed the record noise himself or, more likely, ripped the tracks from a test-pressing CD of some sort, which he continues to hoard in his private Weezer collection. A fourth, apparently professional, remix of "Hash Pipe" is labeled the "Ravin vs. Flood remix", and is of indeterminant origin. It is possible this otherwise unreleased remix was distributed through weezer.com at some point. | Three official remixes of the song were released in 2001.

"Hash Pipe" was banned from UK airplay due to bigwigs at Radio One taking a stance against the drug reference in the title (hashish). The title is sometimes displayed as "H*** Pipe" on some television channels, notably MTV; however, their has been inconsistency of the censored song title. [[Geffen Records]] anticipated these censors, and originally didn't want "Hash Pipe" to be a single, citing the song's title and lurid content as inappropriate. | "Hash Pipe" was banned from UK airplay due to bigwigs at Radio One taking a stance against the drug reference in the title (hashish).

And the aforementioned "Half Pipe" version was occasional broadcast by radio stations that felt more comfortable with a skateboarding reference as opposed to drugs. | ||
