In "Oh Jonas", [[Maria]] sings of her affection for [[Jonas]] in this short interlude. | "Oh Jonas" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] and was intended to be on ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]''. The demo that was released on ''Alone II'' is likely from the second ''SFTBH'' soundtrack, which can be inferred by the fact that it segways into [[Please Remember]]. Prior to its release, the song was covered numerous times by fans using only the sheet music that Cuomo published online. In "Oh Jonas", [[Maria]] sings of her affection for [[Jonas]] in this short interlude. However, Cuomo provides all vocals for the song, as this ''SFTBH'' project was never realized. To simulate a female voice, Cuomo pitch-shifted his vocals up several octaves. Joan Wasser was the singer that Cuomo intended to use for the character of Maria. | ||

==Fan reception== | |||
As is typical for most ''SFTBH'' songs, "Oh Jonas" is viewed positively by many Weezer fans. Although it is a bare, short song, the melody is praised by fans. The pitch-shift that Cuomo used for this track is often spoken of humorously, but not to the point where fans are ridiculing the song. It was reviewed positively by [[Teenage Victory Songs]]. | |||
