 The song is also said to have been, at least partially, inspired by the novel ''The Giver'' by Lois Lowry.  The protagonist's name is Jonas, and at one point, actually says, "My name is Jonas."  In the book's plot, Jonas uses a sled, and Wepeel is supposedly the name of a childhood sled of Rivers' (take that, Rosebud!).
-At one point, the song was erroneously named by Geffen as the ''Blue Album's'' third single.  Before "[[Say It Ain't So]]" was officially chosen as a single by consensus among the band, Todd Sullivan,l and the label, Geffen had printed up limited runs of a "My Name is Jonas" one-track promo CD, and distributed them, primarily in Canada.  These CDs are among some of the rarer Weezer collectibles.
