 "'''You Won't Get With Me Tonight'''" is a song written by [[Rivers Cuomo]], originally intended to be on [[Songs from the Black Hole]]. A demo was officially released on the compilation ''Buddyhead Presents: Gimme Skelter''.
-This officially-released 8-track demo recording was done completely by Rivers, who sings as both characters.  The vocals are panned in order to differentiate the different character parts. In the ''Gimme Skelter'' liner notes, [[Karl Koch|Karl]] wrote that [[Joan Wasser]] was to play the other character, [[Maria]]. The song is high-energy with a fast tempo and features a synthesizer/guitar duet during the instrumental break.

-For Track List 1, the song leads on from "[[Blast Off!]]" as a conversation between [[Jonas]] and [[Maria]], the female character from the previous track. Maria really wants to hook up with Jonas but has resolved to avoid any form of sexual interaction with her.  Jonas affirms his friendship with Maria though by telling her that he will protect her from Wuan and Dondó, making sure they won't bother her any more. The story's premise here is preserved in the Buddyhead release of the song.
-On Track List 2, the song is essentially split up into two new tracks, "[[Who You Callin' Bitch?]]" and "[[Please Remember]]" - their titles are both derived from this song and they have similar lyrics. The full "You Won't Get with Me Tonight" wasn't completely dropped from the track lists though, instead being placed near the end. It's unknown whether the Track List 2 version of "You Won't Get with Me Tonight" would have had any lyrical changes to accommodate its new track placement at the end rather than at the beginning of the album/story.
