Rivers Cuomo's story behind "Beverly Hills": "I was at the opening of the new Hollywood Bowl and I flipped through the program and I saw a picture of Wilson Phillips.

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.

[5] "Beverly Hills" stayed at number one on the Modern Rock charts for one week.

It was the first number one for Weezer, but this record was later met with "Perfect Situation," Make Believe's third single, which held the pole position for four weeks.
