The song remains unheard by most fans, known only from sheet music Rivers posted on his MySpace. The song was performed live a handful of times very early on in the band's career, but a bootleg has yet to surface. One such occasion was at a Chicago club show at the Metro in either [[1994]] or [[1995]]. It is often considered to be one of Weezer's 'holy grails' of unreleased songs. On [[November 25]], [[2008]], at a hootenanny with Rivers on the eve of ''[[Alone II]]'''s release, the song was attempted, but aborted due to most fans at the event being unfamiliar with the song. Rivers did, however, perform a full a capella version to please the crowd. | The song remains unheard by most fans, known only from sheet music Rivers posted on his MySpace.
