It was most likely never seriously considered for release on an album. Rivers Cuomo shared the song with fans online in the early 2000s. The demo includes the opening three seconds of Cuomo's next song, "[[When You're Near Me]]", appended to the end. The demo appeared on the compilation ''[[Alone IV: The Blue-Pinkerton Years]]'' in [[2020]]. | ||
