It was nominated for a Grammy, and was also Weezer's first single to reach number one on an American chart.

"Beverly Hills" is commonly [[List of common abbreviations used on Weezer forums|abbreviated]] by fans as BvH (to avoid confusion with [[Buddy Holly|BH]]).  The song has a talk box solo making it the only appearance of a talk box in the Weezer catalogue.  In the song, Rivers wishes for being able to live in Beverly Hills amongst movie stars and celebrities, but ultimately decides that he simply wouldn't fit in.
