+'''"Surf Wax America"''' is the sixth track on ''[[Weezer (The Blue Album)|The Blue Album]]''.  [[Cuomo]] called "Surf Wax" "a total sarcastic call to hedonism, to sing along, drink and be merry. I hate drinking and only do so when I absolutely have to."

+The song was once the go-to show closer, having closed most shows on the ''Blue Album'' and ''[[Pinkerton]]'' tours, and until recently, still cropped up occasionally as either the closer, or late-in-the-set barnstormer.
+The live version found on "Buddy Holly" singles and ''Blue Deluxe'', recorded in New York in December of 1994, was that show's closer.  Collector-savvy fans have taken to shouting "smoke dope!" at the song's breakdown section, during live performances, mimicking a fan heard on this recording.
+A demo of the song was recorded during the sessions for [[Weezer's third demo]], but was deemed lacking.  It was only included on some copies of the tape, typically given only to friends of, or people close to, the band, as the only track on side B.  Bootlegs of this recording have surfaced, but are not nearly the quality of the bootlegs of the other songs from these sessions. This early version features an alternate bridge section instead of the familiar "breakdown" of the album version.
