This recording was among several from those sessions released to the band's [[weezer.com|official website]] as a free MP3. The song was recorded again for the [[BBC_Sessions#2001|BBC Radio 1]] show ''The Evening Session'' on [[June 13]], 2001, but was not broadcast and was not finished until the band returned to Los Angeles on [[July 9]].
