There was some controversy regarding the second single, "We Are All on Drugs".  Despite a fantastic reaction to the song at live shows, fans were quick to dismiss the song as a single.  Furthermore, MTV demanded that the song be censored before they play it on MTV.  The song was re-recorded as "We Are All in Love".  When the band was asked to censor it, Pat sarcastically wanted to call it "We Are All on Hugs".  "In Love" was recorded at the suggestion of Brian Bell.

Later, when "Perfect Situation" was announced as single #3, "Perfect Situation" received a new chorus after Weezer fans reportedly, according to Cuomo, sang it the way he originally wrote it.  Fans typically prefer the original.  The new version also features backing vocals of "perfect situation!" during the outros because Geffen thought the song title wasn't sang enough for it to be a single.  "Perfect Situation" trumped "Beverly Hills" on the charts, remaining #1 for four weeks despite having no physical single release.
