"Paperface" was first recorded by Rivers Cuomo as a solo demo in May of [[1992]]. This demo would later see release on the compilation album ''[[Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]'' in [[2008]]. The song begins with Rivers singing, "Scratch track, momma, scratch track momma," possibly implying Cuomo meant to redo the vocal.
