Songfacts®:

• A live version of this song serves as the B-side to one of the UK versions of the "Buddy Holly" single. This version of the song was recorded in New York City in December 1994.
• When Weezer plays this song in their live shows, some hardcore fans shout "Smoke Dope!" during the song's breakdown as a reference to an unruly fan that can be heard shouting the same thing in the 1994 live version.
• Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo once called this song "a total sarcastic call to hedonism, to sing along, drink and be merry. I hate drinking and only do so when I absolutely have to."
• During The Blue Album and Pinkerton tours of the early and mid '90s, this song was Weezer's go-to show closer. As of 2012, the band has been known to play this song live in almost every concert they do as it's become a fan favorite.
• A demo of the song was recorded during the sessions for Weezer's third demo, entitled The Real Demo. Unfortunately, the band felt that the demo was missing something, so it was only included on a few copies of the original tape. The Real Demo was only circulated to friends and family of the band, but over the years, bootlegs of this recording have surfaced.
• An early version of this song features an alternate bridge section instead of the familiar breakdown of the album version.
