"'''My Name Is Jonas'''" is the first track from Weezer's self-titled debute album. Written by [[Rivers Cuomo]], [[Patrick Wilson]] and [[Jason Cropper]], the song is one of only a handful of Weezer tracks with a co-writing credit. Notably, [[Jason Cropper]] came up with the song's fingerpicked intro, receiving his only songwriting credit on a Weezer song. Being written during the [[The 50 Song Project|50 song project]], it is one of the earliest collaborations between Rivers and Patrick. Patrick came up with the instrumentation parts letting Rivers write the lyrics, melodies and solo. | "'''My Name Is Jonas'''" is the first track from Weezer's self-titled debute album.

Leaves was having a problem with his insurance. Says Cuomo, "'Jonas' explains how The Plan is reaming us all, especially my brother." At one point, the song was erroneously named the third single. Limited runs of a "My Name is Jonas" single CD were printed and distributed in Canada. They are among some of the rarer Weezer collectibles. | ||
