-{{Featured song artwork|Pinkerton_Deluxe.png}}"'''Getting Up and Leaving'''" is a once unreleased Weezer song written in 1993 by Rivers Cuomo and Patrick Wilson. It appeared on Pinkerton (Deluxe Edition) in 2010.
+{{Featured song artwork|Weezer_white_album.jpg}}"'''Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori'''" is the seventh track from the [[Weezer (The White Album)|White Album]].
-Weezer first recorded the song as a live demo during a Blue Album pre-production session with Ric Ocasek at S.I.R. Studios in New York on November 8, 1993. Later, in the summer of 1996, a studio version was recorded but never finished during the Pinkerton sessions at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. Along with "I Swear It's True", the song was designated for release on a retail "Pink Triangle" CD single in 1997 which, unfortunately, was never released.
+Rivers has stated that "Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori" is his favorite song from ''[[The White Album]]''. He expanded on the song's development, both lyrically and sonically, on the [http://songexploder.net/weezer SongExploder podcast]. In the podcast, Rivers explains that he compiles a Spotify playlist of songs with "cool chord-progressions" and that he lifted the chord progression from the song [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walk_Away_Ren%C3%A9e Walk Away Renée] by The Left Banke. Rivers titled an early version of the demo "Awaken Early" (a partial anagram of "Walk Away Renée). The final song's title came from an overheard conversation at a party at Rivers' daughter's school. One mother said that their husband called her "School-Year Elaine" during the year and "Summer Elaine" after the school year had ended, and another mother commented that her husband had two names for her as well, one of them being "Drunk Dori". Both mothers were thanked in the liner notes for ''[[The White Album]]''. Cuomo went on to explain that he uses a spreadsheet to compile stream-of-consciousness lyrics by syllable.
