Overview

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. According to Karl Koch, this song was performed multiple times[1], however, only one performance is known to have been recorded. 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?
