At some point during the recording session, [[Patrick Wilson]] and Koch were drew on the purple, fuzz-covered wall of the studio's control room when the discussion turned to the development of a Weezer logo. Wilson drew a crude =w= into the fuzz. Amused by this and wishing to make a more permanent version of the symbol, Koch used engineer's labeling tape to make another =w= and attached it to the back of Rivers Cuomo's shirt. The "[[Flying =W=]]" design has been in use by the band ever since. | At some point during the recording session, [[Patrick Wilson]] and Koch were drew on the purple, fuzz-covered wall of the studio's control room when the discussion turned to the development of a Weezer logo.

"Undone" features [[Karl Koch|Koch]]'s first contribution to a Weezer recording in the form of a sound collage present during the intro and before the second verse. A series of samples were taken from Koch's record collection and recorded directly from the turntable at the studio to tape. Records used included ''The Star Wars Story Book'' and ''The Hobbit'', among others. | "Undone" features [[Karl Koch|Koch]]'s first contribution to a Weezer recording in the form of a sound collage present during the intro and before the second verse.

Records used included ''The Star Wars Story Book'' and ''The Hobbit'', among others. While the word "Wax" can be heard being said several times, there was in fact no audio used of [[Joe Sib]] and [[Tom Gardocki]] from the band [[Wax]] (despite this story having been spread around at some point). In reality, that is simply Matt repeatedly saying "Wax" as he freestyles about them for fun, most of which is just below the volume level of clarity. Also [[Jason Cropper]] can be heard saying, "I told you not to touch me!" before the second verse. Originally, he had said, "I told you not to touch me ''there''!"<ref name="historicevent" /> The outro of the song features Rivers's guitar rendition of Beethoven's "[[Wikipedia:Ode to Joy|Ode to Joy]]" played over the main riff to "Undone". | ||
