Well, its played very loose and casual, but steps into a hard driving chorus. The lyrics aren't a typical hard rock subject. The guitar opens by plodingly playing around 4 notes in somewhat varying sequence. It is to the beat but loosely so. Then you have background chatter in the opening and after the 1st chorus, which is directly making fun of he "Rockin' Party Dude" set. Many times a Smart Nerd can make the average guy look stupid without his target perceiving it. Methinks Rivers Cuomo has that in spades. Metaphorically, it doesn't have common tropes to tell its story...boiled down its, "here, take this, now leave, it doesn't please me, but leave." Still, his indecision contributes to a stereotypical "nerd" narrative. just some thoughts. be well, -trout

Rick's level of excitement while doing this video is amazing. You can tell he is "Ride or Die" for Weezer. I pretty much tuned out listening to music in the 90's after a long decade of playing guitar in a band. I tuned out of music in general, so I missed Weezer and a lot of other bands. So, when I started watching their videos a few months ago, I got excited by the level of songwriting craft as well as musicianship going on.

Like every other one of these “what makes this song great videos” it makes me have a much deeper understanding of this song (always one of my favorites of theirs) and I appreciate that a lot.

As far as I know it started with making commercials louder in radio - if you are skipping radio stations, your ear and brain pay more attention on louder sounds, that's why radio or tv commercials seem so much louder than music or movies (in terms of sound dynamics). Some found out that if it worked with commercials, it could work with songs and then it all started. Of course loudness is attractive for our ear only for a couple of moments, then it begins to tire you but who would care besides some twisted musicians and fans of music like us?

The opening lyric "I can't help my feelings I go out of my mind" is a direct cop from the Beatles' "You Can't Do That". John sings those exact words at the end of the last verse in one of his signature songs about jealousy. I have no idea if Rivers had that song in mind when he wrote "Hash Pipe" or if it's just a coincidence. As far as I'm concerned it's another thing that makes this song great.

Hey Rick, I really like that edit at 11:55. That was cool. Along with the song, of course. When I watch your “What makes this song great “ videos, you bring out points that I hadn’t considered when teaching my students a song.

Hey, some Weezer. Their old stuff is legit amazing. They've had a few catchy songs since then but the first few albums had the best stuff.

Ric Ocasik was the rhythm guitarist and 2nd lead vocalist for the Cars. Benjamin Orr was the lead singer and bassist for the Cars. When Orr died, so did The Cars. Ric is an excellent producer

This is incorrect. Ric Ocasek sang on the majority of the Cars song (36/60 album songs), as such he was the primary lead singer. Add to that the fact that he wrote nearly EVERY Cars song, regardless of who sang, it is Ocasek that made the Cars more than anyone else. That said,most of my favorite songs of theirs had Orr on lead vocal, but all of them were written by Ocasek.

The amazng thing about Weezer is how they can take a perfectly great Toto track and turn it into a wedding band song. They also sound great when loaded into a octrack and remixed with Venetian Snares.

Okay, Rick. I binged this series on the weekend and bought one of my favorite Yes albums after watching the "Roundabout" episode. I'm even listening to music smarter because of you educating everyone on the layers of sound and tricks. Thank you much, sir. Subscribed. Your content is too good not to.
