While headlining a [[2009-07-24 - Jisan, Korea|festival in Korea]] in the summer of 2009, Weezer performed a new and very different arrangement of the song, featuring a rock drum beat, distorted guitars, a new bridge. The chorus lyric was also slightly altered, replacing, "I gotta have Patron, I gotta have the E" with "I gotta have the boom, I gotta have the beat," seemingly stemming from Cuomo's previously stated objection to the original's glorification of drugs. A studio version with a very similar arrangement was released (with the notation "Coconut Teaser mix" in the title) as an iTunes bonus track to [[2009|2009's]] ''Raditude''. This version was named as the favorite version of Weezer bassist [[Scott Shriner]]. | While headlining a [[2009-07-24 - Jisan, Korea|festival in Korea]] in the summer of 2009, Weezer performed a new and very different arrangement of the song, featuring a rock drum beat, distorted guitars, a new bridge.

The lyrics in the chorus were again subtly alterered, restoring the "Patron" lyric but keeping the "beat" lyric. The demo's stripped-down, acoustic qualities were scrapped entirely. | ||
