![]() Band commentary, Weezer Recording History Īccording to the Weezer Recording History, Rivers Cuomo wrote "Beverly Hills" around spring of 2004. I thought it would be a great - there was a reality haircutting show called “blow out” or “blow up” or something like that, about this salon in Beverly Hills, and I was trying to sell Rivers on letting that be that show’s theme song. To me, it was like - whatever “hit song” means - that’s what it evoked me. And then the next thing was, is that, when I heard all of the different mixes-cuz we had like four different people mix it-it just, it sounded good and I kind of dug one version of it, but when I heard the mix that Rich Costey did, somehow he put the kind of magic on that song that I was kind of expecting to get out of it.īrian: When I first heard the song, it was a Rivers demo of it, and I think I called him and said, ‘Congratulations, you wrote a hit song.’ It had a hit immediately, regardless of-even more from its original version than from something else. One is that I kept trying to think that it was supposed to be like a swing beat, with kind of a lot of upbeats, and a lot of jingly kind of thing, but as much as I kept trying to make that happen, it just never worked and it wound up being totally, totally straighter than straight, which I think wound up being the best thing for the song, all said and done. Scott: For me, two things I want to say about it. And I’d also like to say that Rick said, ‘why don’t you have a boom-boom-chop song?’ And that’s how it turned into that. ![]() People think we’re being funny, and then somehow it changes into something. Pat: I think that’s - that happens a lot with Weezer songs. But originally it wasn’t meant to be sarcastic at all. For some reason, by the time it came out-and the video came out-it got twisted around into something that seemed sarcastic. And then I wrote that song, Beverly Hills. And for some reason I just thought how nice it would be to marry, like, an “established” celebrity and live in Beverly Hills and be part of that world. Rivers: I was at the opening of the new Hollywood Bowl and I flipped through the program and I saw a picture of Wilson Phillips.
