 ==Overview==
-"Lullaby for Wayne" may be a reference to Wayne Lo, an American student that shot six people, killing two, at Simon's Rock College (now Bard College at Simon's Rock) on [[December 14]], [[1992]]. However, the song is not about the incident. It appears on [[Video Capture Device]] as "Lullabye for Pat," and has the title lyric changed for the occasion of Weezer's old friend [[Pat Finn]] leaving Los Angeles. This version contains the alternate opening line, "Pat's a God damn idiot, never thought you'd graduate."
+"Lullaby for Wayne" was one of fifteen tracks considered for the band's 1994 debut, ''[[The Blue Album]]'', but the song would not make it to the proper recording sessions. A pre-production recording, done with Ric Ocasek, from August 11, 1993 exists and eventually surfaced on the 2004 deluxe edition of ''The Blue Album''.
+==Other versions==
+A February 1993 home demo by Rivers exists, but does not circulate among fans. Another full-band take also exists, recorded April 27, 1993, which was recorded at the Loyola Marymount University by Dale Johnson. The same engineer and studio were used about two weeks prior on the released version of "[[Jamie]]".
+A live version, recorded on April 29, 1993, appears on [[Video Capture Device]] as "Lullabye for Pat Finn," and has the title lyric changed for the occasion of Weezer's old friend [[Pat Finn]] leaving Los Angeles.
