'''"Hash Pipe"''' is the lead single and third track from [[Weezer]]'s eponymous [[2001]] album, ''[[The Green Album]]''. | |||
"Hash Pipe" was the first single released from the band's long-awaited third album, ''Weezer'', and the only [[SS2K]]-era song to make it onto the album (although "[[Dope Nose]]" and "[[Slob]]" were later released on ''[[Maladroit]]''). According to an interview with [[Rivers Cuomo]], the song was written on the same night as "Dope Nose" although, according to the [[Catalog O' Riffs]], Dope Nose was written two nights before Hash Pipe. The story is that he took "a bunch of Ritalin and had like three shots of tequila", paced around for a while, then wrote both songs. | |||
The lyrics for the song are about a "homosexual transvestite prostitute", according to [[Entertainment Weekly interview with Rivers Cuomo - May 25, 2001|an ''Entertainment Weekly'' interview]] with Cuomo from 2001. According to Cuomo, the label was very reluctant to release a song like "Hash Pipe" as the album's lead single. Said Cuomo, "They wanted something more straight-up. Man, it was a huge fight. I got up in a meeting with all the executives and I was screaming." The label wanted to release "[[Don't Let Go]]" instead, but Cuomo was adamant that "Hash Pipe" be the single. | |||
