This original version appeared alongside those songs as a B-side to various "[[Undone]]" singles that year. In 1995, when the band was asked to submit a track to [[Mallrats|the soundtrack to Kevin Smith's second film, ''Mallrats'']], the boys chose "Susanne". However, as is often the case with Rivers, he felt that the track required some sweetening before submission. The original track was remixed by [[Chris Shaw]], given a new lead vocal, as well as keyboard flavorings. This remix was deemed the "standard" version, and besides appearing on said soundtrack, it was featured on the [[2004]] deluxe reissue of ''The Blue Album'' in place of the original. | ||
In addition to these two official versions, there are high-quality bootlegs of two other mixes, which were presumably leaked during the remix session in 1995. A mix with just the backing vocals (no lead vocal track) - in the form of a mediocre-quality mp3 - had been floating around the internet for some time. On [[January 18]], [[2009]], [[AllThingsWeezer|albumsix.com]] boardie [[user:BringHomeTheTurkey|BringHomeTheTurkey]] uploaded high-quality mp3s as well as losseless files of this 'karaoke' style mix, as well as an instrumental (no vocals at all). These versions were taken from a bootleg CD-R purchased by BringHomeTheTurkey on eBay in 2002, and remained in his personal collection thereafter. | In addition to these two official versions, there are high-quality bootlegs of two other mixes, which were presumably leaked during the remix session in 1995.
