The 60 Wrong Sausages (proto-Weezer) song "[[Been Gi|Ben Gay]]" was named by Cuomo in honor of Takashi, who erroneously, but assiduously believed the athletic cream of the same name was meant to be used on bruises.<ref name="Tales" />The title has a triple reference: The pain cream Ben Gay, The karate outfit known as a "Gi" (while not pronounced "gay", the song's title was deliberately a conflation of the two), and an intentionally humorous reference to same sex relations. The song appeared again on the Cuomo demo tape ''[[The Yeastmaster]]'', and released on the demo compilation ''[[Alone V: Before Weezer]]''. | The 60 Wrong Sausages (proto-Weezer) song "[[Been Gi|Ben Gay]]" was named by Cuomo in honor of Takashi, who erroneously, but assiduously believed the athletic cream of the same name was meant to be used on bruises.<ref name="Tales" />The title has a triple reference: The pain cream Ben Gay, The karate outfit known as a "Gi" (while not pronounced "gay", the song's title was deliberately a conflation of the two), and an intentionally humorous reference to same sex relations.
