|songname=Superfriend | |||
|imagename=Weezer sftbh fan cover.jpg|articlelede="'''Superfriend'''" is a song by [[Rivers Cuomo]], originally intended as a track for the unrealized album concept ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]'' (the concept that later morphed into ''[[Pinkerton]]''). | |||
Cuomo is known to have recorded two full demos of "Superfriend," either around Christmas of [[1994]] or, more likely, February of [[1995]]. The more well-known demo, released in [[2007]] as part of the compilation album ''[[Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]'', is intended as a duet between the characters of Jonas and Laurel. A second demo, recorded in [[1995]] and released in [[2020]] as part of the digital demo compilation ''[[Alone IV: The Blue-Pinkerton Years]]'', features an alternate chorus, less articulate vocals, and is seemingly intended to be sung only from Jonas' perspective. | |||
"Superfriend" was desired by fans for several years before its release. In the early 2000s, [[Karl Koch]] named the song as one of his favorite unreleased Weezer songs and had planned to include it in a [[Golden Nuggets|rarities compilation]] that would never be released. Footage of "Superfriend" being performed in the studio, as well as acoustically in a hotel room, appeared on the [[2004]] Weezer DVD ''[[Video Capture Device]]''. "Superfriend" was attempted as a full band at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, but the recording was later erased. Ultimately, the ''Songs from the Black Hole'' concept—and "Superfriend" with it— would be scrapped in favor of what would eventually become ''[[Pinkerton]]''. | |||
