“Hash Pipe” wasn’t their first choice of songs. It’s a lot harder rock than Toto is known for, and it wasn’t a song they were really all that familiar with anyway. In an interview with The Guardian, Toto’s keyboard player Steve Porcaro said that they had been planning to cover “Beverly Hills” as it sort of had a Toto vibe and style about it they thought they could pull off fairly well. Porcaro went on to say that when he was telling his neighbor, whom he characterized as a major Weezer fan, about the idea for the cover, he talked him out of doing “Beverly Hills” and steered him in the direction of “Hash Pipe” instead.
“He talked me through their hits, then he looked up with a little gleam in his eye and said something about driving down the freeway with ‘Hash Pipe’ cranked up, and that really stuck with me.”
The results have been positive so far with piles of comments on YouTube telling the guys that they did a great job. It has been received so well, in fact, that Toto added it to their concert set-list. And according to Toto guitarist Steve Lukather, it is the perfect song for them because “we were smoking hash since before they [Weezer] were born,” as told to Pitchfork. “Now we’ll both probably have to play ‘Hash Pipe’ and ‘Africa’ for the rest of our entire lives.”
