When I asked my neighbor, a huge Weezer fan, which record we should cover, he rattled off about five of their biggest hits, but then he smiled and said ‘but there’s nothing like driving down the freeway at 80 miles an hour with ‘Hash Pipe’ cranked.’ That stuck with me when it came time to decide. Keyboardist Steve Porcaro had this to say: “Covering Hash Pipe was an absolute blast. Ours drops Aug 10th, and I hear KROQ is getting thousands of requests from the teaser we recorded the other day - who knew? Kudos to Steve Porcaro for running with this as the Producer.” Gratitude to the fans for embracing this fun little accident. Now I guess we have to do some crazy mash up live someday.
Thanks to Weezer, their manager Jonathan, and their fans as they have been really nice to us…and they didn’t have to be. It is an unlikely collaboration, but some of the best ones are unexpected. We give you our version - with a little of our thing on it like they did their ‘thing’ to ours. My 30 something kids were flipped over Weezer recording two of our songs as they are fans and we picked ‘Hash Pipe.” The irony that we were smoking hash before these guys were alive was not lost on us, and the other is it has a killer melody and a great groove. It seemed only right that WE - Toto did a version of one of their songs so we started digging around, listening to a bunch of their music, which I have grown to like a lot. They did two of ours and ‘Africa’ took OFF. It was all started by a sweet 15-year-old girl named Mary.
They did a good job too, but we never saw hit records coming from it. Toto’s guitarist Steve Lukather had this to say about the cover in a press release: “We were blown away at the response Weezer got doing our old songs. Toto had previously announced their intentions to cover Weezer’s “Hash Pipe” and now that cover is also out. But then a week later they actually covered “Africa” and it ended up becoming Weezer’s biggest hit in years. maybe i just think it's about male prostitutes because i was one, but i doubt it.Back in May a teenaged Weezer fan named Mary convinced the band to cover Toto’s 1982 hit “Africa” via a jokey Twitter account fittingly named “weezer cover africa by toto.” At first Weezer covered Toto’s “Rosanna” instead, a song also featured on their Toto IV album (it’s the opening track, “Africa” is the closing track). Thats my interpretation, i could be totaly wrong though. Of men that don't bother with the taste of a teat. that would seem to indicate the person this song is about is a transvestite. The knee-stocking flavor is a favorite treat- knee stockings. I know that you don't care but I want you to know boogies is a regional and/or older slang for the abcesses you get when you inject drugs. I can't help my boogies they get out of control- A reference to IV drug use. being stoned can be a blessing when your bored. so the person in this song uses his has pipe to get through jobs. lets just say they make things not work as well. But I speak from a great deal of personal experience that its very hard to get through a job while high on coke or heroin and to a lesser extaent meth. now, most prostitutes including the one this song is about, are addicted to heroin cocaine or meth. I've got my hash pipe- this is the only part of the song that mentions drugs. You've got your big jeans- im not sure what that means I've got my ass wide- he sure gets fucked a lot Oh, come on and kick me- the person feels down about himself? and thats why he says "where tricks are for kids" funny but sad. it's not super comon to see a prostitute under 14 though. There are quite few homeless teenage prostitutes out there, most are 15-19, but ive seen boys as young as 11 selling themselves.

Add Hash Pipe by Weezer to your Rock Band song library. I can't love my business if I can't get a trick- this person is a prostitute, and its hard to like being a prostitute if you cant find a trickĭown on Santa Monica where tricks are for kids- this line is very funny but sad. These players come to get me 'cause they'd like my behind- a lot of men like to fuck this person in the ass I can't help my feelings, I'll go out of my mind- The person this song is about has a big problem Said Cuomo, Once, I think it was in 2000, he Osbourne. In the latest issue of Guitar World, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo recalled that the heavy-riffing track, found on the band’s 2001 green album, had originally been offered to Osbourne. ill go through each line and say what it means to me In fact, if things had panned out differently, Hash Pipe could have appeared on an Ozzy Osbourne album.
