As a closer to shows in late 1993, Weezer began performing a cover of China Grove mashed up with lyrics from Baby You're A Rich Man by The Beatles.

This recording was later released on the 30th Anniversary Deluxe edition of Weezer (The Blue Album) in November 2024.
Lyrics
Whoa, oh (whoa, oh) China Grove!
Whoa, oh (whoa, oh) China Grove!
Whoa, oh (whoa, oh) China Grove!
How does it feel to be one of the one of the beautiful people?
I said, How does it feel to be one of the one of the beautiful people?
