"Hash Pipe" is a popular single by Weezer. 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 Weezer front man 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. Weezer drummer Patrick Wilson is featured on the cover of the song's CD single blank">http://www.weezer.com/info/tunes/index03.html holding a pack of "American Spirit" cigarettes that has been blurred out. Since late 2001, the band has played the song live with a reworked guitar solo that no longer follows the verse melody.
The song was Weezer's biggest chart success for years, even overshadowing The Blue Album's singles. However in 2005, Weezer released _Make Believe which featured the hits "Beverly Hills," and "Perfect Situation."
