Released in 2001, it was the first single off the band's long-awaited third album, Weezer, and the only one of the SS2K The Summer Sessions songs to make it onto the album, although "Dope Nose" and "Slob" were released on ''[[Maladroit]]''. According to an interview with [[Rivers Cuomo]], "Hash Pipe" was written on the same night as the hit song "[[Dope Nose]]" off ''Maladroit''. The story goes that Rivers took "a bunch of Ritalin and had like three shots of tequila," paced around for a while, then wrote both songs. The song was inspired by a male transvestite prostitute known for rambling to people in Santa Monica. [[Patrick Wilson]] is featured on the cover of the song's CD single holding a pack of Natural American Spirit cigarettes that has been blurred out due to copyright issues | Released in 2001, it was the first single off the band's long-awaited third album, Weezer, and the only one of the SS2K The Summer Sessions songs to make it onto the album, although "Dope Nose" and "Slob" were released on ''[[Maladroit]]''.

The label was very reluctant to have a song like "Hash Pipe" as the lead off single. They wanted to release "[[Don't Let Go]]" as the lead off single, but Rivers was adamant that "Hash Pipe" be the single. | The label was very reluctant to have a song like "Hash Pipe" as the lead off single.

==Different Versions== | |||
There are many versions and edits of the song. Live version from 2000 featured slightly different drums, lacked backing vocals, "uhs", and instead of "kick me","kiss me" was sang during second line of the chorus. Original [[Green Album]] version is no longer in use, and was replaced by shorter edit on reprints. Also, since late 2001, the band has played the song live with a reworked guitar solo that no longer follows the verse melody. | |||
