"Oh Lisa" was recorded during the sessions for ''The Green Album'', and was at one time considered for placement on the album. However, it was relegated to b-side status shortly before mastering, and eventually turned up on multiple ''Green''-era singles, as well as a [[WWE Tough Enough 2|wrestling soundtrack compilation]]. It was sometimes mistakenly conflated with the [[1994]] [[Rivers Cuomo]] song "[[Lisa]]" prior to the latter's release.
