In [[1996]], she performed lead vocals on Weezer’s "[[I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams]]", one of few officially released Weezer songs to feature female lead vocals. This song was originally written for the abandoned ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]'' album. Haden was [[Rivers Cuomo]]'s choice to play the "good girl" character, [[Laurel]].
