[[Rivers 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 band's go-to show closer, having closed most shows on the ''Blue Album'' and ''[[Pinkerton]]'' tours. Until recently, the song almost always still cropped up 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. | The live version found on "[[Buddy Holly]]" singles and ''Blue Deluxe'', recorded in New York in December of [[1994]], was that show's closer.
