Because Rivers was writing harmonies too complex to be performed, the band took harmony classes and rehearsed barbershop quartet harmonies. Rivers | Because Rivers was writing harmonies too complex to be performed, the band took harmony classes and rehearsed barbershop quartet harmonies. Rivers chose the traditional song "My Evaline" as a "homework song" for the band, but when it was recorded, it came out so well that they thought it would be cool to release it as a B-side. It is erroneously labeled on the "Undone" single as "Sweet Adeline", another well-known, traditional song often peformed by barbershop groups. It is also the first 'cover' song the band released officially. Inexplicably, the track was included only on the Austrailian editions of the "Undone" single, and omitted from the more common Uk and European pressings. Thankfully for collectors who'd missed out, it was resurrected for the 2004 Deluxe Edition of ''[[The Blue album]]''. | ||
