The song was recorded in the summer of 1994, along with "[[Mykel & Carli]]" and "[[My Evaline]]", and engineered by [[Paul duGre]].  This original version appeared alongside those songs as a B-side to various "[[Undone]]" singles that year.  In 1995, when the band was asked to submit a track to the soundtrack to Kevin Smith's second film, ''Mall Rats'', the boys chose "Susanne".  However, as is often the case with Rivers, he felt that the track required some sweetening before submission.  The original track was remixed by [[Chris Shaw]], given a new lead vocal, as well as keyboard flavorings.  This remix was deemed the 'standard' version, and besides appearing on said soundtrack, it was featured on the 2004 deluxe reissue of ''The Blue Album'' in place of the original.

In addition to these two official versions, there are high-quality bootlegs of two other mixes, which were presumably leaked during the remix session in 1995.  A mix with just the backing vocals (no lead vocal track) - in the form of a mediocre-quality mp3 - had been floating around the internet for some time.  On January 18, 2009, albumsix.com boardie [[user:BringHomeTheTurkey|BringHomeTheTurkey]] uploaded high-quality mp3s as well as losseless files of this 'karaoke' style mix, as well as an instrumental (no vocals at all).  These versions were taken from a bootleg CD-R purchased by BringHomeTheTurkey on eBay in 2002, and have remained in his personal collection until this board release.  These rare versions can currently be found at the audio gallery of [[albumsix]].
