"Trainwrecks" was the first song [[Rivers Cuomo]] wrote following an incident in which his tour bus crashed during [[Weezer]]'s ''[[Raditude Tour]]'' in December [[2009]],<ref>Gaston, Peter "Q&A: Rivers Cuomo of Weezer" ''SPIN''. 10 August 2010. https://www.spin.com/2010/08/qa-rivers-cuomo-weezer/</ref> in which Cuomo sustained five cracked ribs and internal bleeding.<ref>Vallejos, Tamara. "Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo Recovers from Bus Crash" ''SPIN''. 15 January 2010. https://www.spin.com/2010/01/weezers-rivers-cuomo-recovers-bus-crash/</ref> Cuomo co-wrote the song with songwriter [[Desmond Child]], who also performed piano on the song. According to Cuomo (via the website [[Riverchat]]), Child likened Cuomo to the character of [[Wikipedia:Puck (A Midsummer Night's Dream)|Puck]] from Shakespeare's ''[[Wikipedia:A Midsummer Night's Dream|A Midsummer Night's Dream]]'', and that "Trainwrecks" was written with Cuomo in mind as Puck.<ref>[[:File:Riverchat_20200727-153156.png]]</ref><ref>[[:File:Riverchat_20200727-153126.jpg]]</ref> | |||
