 ==Overview==
-Weezer recorded a live demo during a ''[[Blue Album]]'' pre-production session and later, in [[1996]], a studio version during the ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions.  Along with "[[I Swear It's True]]", the song was designated for release on a retail "[[Pink Triangle]]" CD single that, unfortunately, never happened.
+Weezer first recorded the song as a live demo during a ''[[Blue Album]]'' pre-production session with [[Ric Ocasek]] at S.I.R. Studios in New York on [[November 8]], [[1993]]. Later, in the summer of [[1996]], a studio version was recorded but never finished during the ''[[Pinkerton]]'' sessions at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, Los Angeles.  Along with "[[I Swear It's True]]", the song was designated for release on a retail "[[Pink Triangle]]" CD single in [[1997]] which, unfortunately, was never released.
+At that time, [[Matt Sharp]] had already started recording what would become [[The Rentals]]' second album ''[[Seven More Minutes]]'' and was unable to attempt the sessions, scheduled for Rivers's spring break from Harvard. After several levels of auditions for a bass player, [[Scott Riebling]], who had formerly played with Letters To Cleo, was chosen to function as the stand-in  bass player for the sessions. According to Riebling, [[Mikey Welsh]] might have been the the runner-up in the final audition.
+It is unknown whether the song, along with "I Swear It's True", was completely recut, as claimed by Riebling in 2005, or if the earlier recording from 1996 was finished.
-Prior to the release of Pinkerton: Deluxe Edition, the song remained 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 was given out by Rivers for free on [[weezer.com]] on October 19, 2010 at 10:53 am.  The fan response was highly positive since they'd been waiting to hear it for such a long time. The song was finally released on November 2nd, 2010 on the Deluxe re-release of the band's second album, ''Pinkerton''.
