"Starlight" was one of the fourteen ''Green'' sessions tracks that was leaked prior to the album's release, and was a contender to make the album's final cut.  Interestingly, the song was covered a year later by the New Zealand-based band Zed, whose version was released on the soundtrack to the Rob Schneider vehicle ''The Hot Chick''.  Perhaps he was just being nice, but [[Rivers Cuomo]] was apparently flattered, calling Zed's arrangement an improvement.
