"Starlight" was one of the fourteen ''Green'' sessions tracks that was leaked prior to the album's release, and was a contender to make the album's final cut. Like all the other songs from the early MP3 leak, "Starlight" appeared in unmastered and unedited form with a total length of 3:28. The officially released B-Side version on various ''Hash Pipe'' singles was edited down to 3:20, omitting the "Woah, that's not enough"-part after the final chorus. | "Starlight" was one of the fourteen ''Green'' sessions tracks that was leaked prior to the album's release, and was a contender to make the album's final cut.

In July 2011, after over 10 years, an Argentinian promo CD from Universal Music (Argentina) including the early edit of the song, fully mastered, was found on eBay by a Weezer fan and shared on [[Allthingsweezer.com]]. | In July 2011, after over 10 years, an Argentinian promo CD from Universal Music (Argentina) including the early edit of the song, fully mastered, was found on eBay by a Weezer fan and shared on [[Allthingsweezer.com]]. At the time, it was thought to be the only known official and physical release of any of the early edits of the ''Green Album'' songs. However, this early edit can also be found on a German 5-track ''Green Album'' promo sampler by Motor Music. | ||
These promo releases may also indicates that all the songs may have been edited after the mastering process. So odds are that lossless and mastered versions of the early edits indeed exist and were possibly used for other promo releases. | |||
Interestingly, the song was covered a year later by the New Zealand-based band Zed, whose version was released on the soundtrack to the Rob Schneider vehicle ''The Hot Chick''. Perhaps he was just being nice, but [[Rivers Cuomo]] was apparently flattered, calling Zed's arrangement an improvement. | Interestingly, the song was covered a year later by the New Zealand-based band Zed, whose version was released on the soundtrack to the Rob Schneider vehicle ''The Hot Chick''.
