Everything Will be Alright in the End
The video also features a sweet studio recording of Back to the Shack
The forty-fifth Weezer Song of the Day is Hash Pipe, which is another summer songs of 2000 demo, which was officially released on The Green Album. It was the first single released and was the first SS2K song to be officially released.
Hash Pipe by Weezer got a real music video:
A Fantastic Live performance from 2001 on the MTV Movie Awards with pyrotechnics!
I have seen Hash Pipe performed live 8 times. According to Setlist.fm it has been played over 460 times since it was first played live June 16th, 2000.
Hash Pipe begins with an incredible, crunchy guitar riff. According to Weezerpedia, Rivers was inspired partially by the Peter Gunn Theme, featured as the music for the video game Spy Hunter. The lyrics were long-disputed, but they are now published on Weezerpedia. Rivers' falsetto vocals are outstanding and match the song well. I like the backing vocals, too.
It is the best song on the Green Album. Maybe subconsciously my love for playing Spy Hunter influences my love for this song...especially live!
What do you guys think?

Project Info:
So why did I create this blog? To document my Weezer Song Project. Over the next year, I am going to attempt to listen to every...EVERY Weezer song recorded. All the album tracks and b-sides will be easy, but there are some unreleased songs that may or not be accessible. Hopefully, the search (and destroy) will be fun to follow. At the moment, the list has 214 songs! My list includes You Gave Your Love to me Softly, Longtime Sunshine, Turn Me Round, Getting Up and Leaving, Waiting on You, and Back to the Shack. We learned early this year that a new Weezer record is on the way and we got to hear Back to the Shack twice on the Weezer Cruise II.
So here is the master list from Karl et al. on Weezerpedia!
I will soon publish my Google Doc Spreadsheet, which will document my progress.
Here is my Spotify playlist.
Paul Loves Weezer YOUTUBE Playlist
PLW Rater! It's not quite Leonard Maltin, but it will work.
1 - Go get a beer...It's still a Weezer song, but it's a good time to rent a beer
2 - Head Bobber...The song causes at least moderate movement
3 - Rock it out...Banging of the head and the arm is in the air \m/
4 - Undone...No choice but to jump around
