"Dope Nose" was the first single from Maladroit, Weezer's fourth album, released on Geffen in March 2002, though fans had already heard it on the band's summer 2000 comeback tour after their hiatus. Rivers Cuomo wrote it on the same night as "Hash Pipe", fuelled by three shots of tequila and a Ritalin, and it plays like it: a crunchy, wiry power-pop stomp with a riff that won't sit still. Weezer produced it themselves, with Chad Bamford and Rod Cervera adding production, Bamford engineering and Tom Lord-Alge mixing.

Video games loved it. It was a playable track in Harmonix's PlayStation 2 game Amplitude, the studio's early builds of Guitar Hero were based on it, and it later turned up in Guitar Hero: Van Halen as well as on Monk and Psych. Onstage, bassist Scott Shriner has sometimes taken over the lead vocal.
