-"'''Beverly Hills'''" is the first track and lead single from ''[[Make Believe]]''. "Beverly Hills" is arguably the most successful song [[Weezer]] has ever released. It was nominated for a Grammy, and was also Weezer's first single to reach number one on an American chart. It is often known by more "die-hard" fans as the "boom-boom-chop" song because of its repetitive bass and snare drum rhythm. "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.
+"'''Mykel & Carli'''" (originally known as "'''Please Pick Up the Phone'''" and "'''A Letter to Mykel and Carli (from a High School Friend)'''") is the first track from the deluxe edition of Weezer's self-titled debut album and is a b-side to "[[Undone]]". The sisters Allan revealed the story of the writing of the song to fans at an official fan club gathering in the summer of 1996 at the Pasadena, California home of two fans.  Supposedly, the sisters received a brief call from Rivers asking them what high school they went to.  As the Allan family was somewhat nomadic at times, they replied that they went to several different ones.  He asked them to pick one, so they decided to mention Wilson High (located in Hacienda Heights, California).  "Great", Rivers said, then abruptly hung up the phone.  ''Okay, that was weird'', they thought, but let it go.  Minutes later, he called back, asking them to name a street they once lived on.  "Eagle Court" was the reply.  Another "Thanks", and dial tone.  On it went for some time, with the sisters increasingly curious, yet Rivers refused to reveal his motives for the desired info. He then wrote "To Mykel and Carli (From a High School Friend)".  Rivers' demo of this track is circulating.  It is slightly different from the final version, noteably featuring a banjo track.
