Note that weezer wasnt actually named yet. On the original tape the following band names were all crammed on the label, a joke on how no one could decide on the name for the band yet. Some were old names, such as "Fuzz", but there was also such notables as "Meathead", "Outhouse", and "Hummingbird", and I know some other names being kicked around were "the Big Jones" and "This Niblet", and something like "The Leafy Green Reefer Machine".|[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519062941if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist3.html Weezer Recording History, Page 3]}} | Note that weezer wasnt actually named yet.

{{Karlification box|This silly song was significant only because it was the first of a long spontaneous somgwriting collaboration between Pat Wilson and Karl (and occasionally Pat Finn too). This team-up eventually became known as Southern Fried Swing. Over the course of 1992-1997, about 50-60 tapes were made, mostly done while on the road with weezer, in hotel rooms and on the bus. Most songs centered around very low-quality beginners' keyboards, found at Salvation Armys and Radio Shacks. I mention all this here due to the impossibility of keeping track of all the recording that has gone into this project. |[https://web.archive.org/web/20140519062941if_/http://daveandnikolai.com/wzr/classic/03_Recording_History/WeezRecHist3.html Weezer Recording History, Page 3]}} | {{Karlification box|This silly song was significant only because it was the first of a long spontaneous somgwriting collaboration between Pat Wilson and Karl (and occasionally Pat Finn too).
