 === "Susanne" acoustic for Susanne Filkins, February 1994 ===
 Susanne Filkins was an A&R manager at [[Geffen Records]], and the inspiration behind the song "Susanne". [[Weezer]] went into her office one day and surprised her by playing the song acapella with Wilson on acoustic guitar, which reportedly moved her to tears. [[Karl Koch]] recorded the moment to microcassette.

 {{Karlification box|It was getting difficult for Rivers to find time in the garage to record, as the blue album had been released in May, and the first weezer tours were happening.

+{{Karlification box|Undone was scheduled for release in Australia, and B-sides were called for. The guys recorded at 2 studios in Hollywood, on 24-track machines. (studio #1 broke, so they had to move). The Electric Lady "Mykel and Carli" was determined to be a difficult thing to salvage (it still had Jason's parts on it, and the guys were playing it now better than they ever had). So they made an all new version.
+*Mykel and Carli (appeared on many foreign singles, plus the "Hear You Me!" compilation)
+*Suzanne (the mix done here appeared on many foreign singles, it was later remixed in August 1995, at Electric Lady in NYC, for the "Mallrats" soundtrack)
+*My Evaline (listed as "sweet adeline" on the singles)
+Note that most Undone Promotional CD singles contain an erroneous short radio edit of "Undone", where the guitar solo in the middle is cut way short. <nowiki>(correct = 4:10, incorrect = 3:58)</nowiki> These incorrect ones outnumber the "good" ones, so are easier to find in fact. As it turns out, most radio stations played the album version anyway, so no one seemed to notice except the band.|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519064927if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist6.html Weezer Recording History, Page 6]}}
