Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Surf Wax America. By 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."
