According to the [[Recording_History_-_Page_3#March-_May_1992:_various_8_track_recordings|Recording History]], the guitar riff for "El Scorcho" was originally written as the intro to an 8-track demo by [[Rivers Cuomo]] around the spring of [[1992]] titled "[[Simply State]]". A similar riff was also used as the outro to the demo "[[Blast Off!]]". While attending Harvard in December of [[1995]], Cuomo composed [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evPzxPxaREo a piece of music] as a homework assignment for his Music 154 course. This piece would form the basis for the chorus melody of "El Scorcho". "El Scorcho" was one of the first songs written by Cuomo (following "[[Pink Triangle]]") to be written while Cuomo was attending Harvard and began moving away from the ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]'' album concept. The title "El Scorcho" was inspired by the sauce "Del Scorcho" from the fast food chain Del Taco {{Citation needed}}. | According to the [[Recording_History_-_Page_3#March-_May_1992:_various_8_track_recordings|Recording History]], the guitar riff for "El Scorcho" was originally written as the intro to an 8-track demo by [[Rivers Cuomo]] around the spring of [[1992]] titled "[[Simply State]]".
