"Wax" is mentioned repeatedly in the spoken work verse parts of the 11/92 Demo tape version of "Undone"

The inspiration for Matt's "stoked guy" character in the "Undone" spoken part (1st verse) on The Blue Album is Joe Sib. However this was done as a good natured homage. Joe was (and remains) a truly amazingly positive person who didn't seem to have a cynical bone in his body, and that was both alien and highly impressive to the (then) highly pessimistic Rivers and Matt. When the song's roles called for a stoked guy to play off Karl's "bummed guy", there was no better person to draw inspiration from.
