In a [[Rolling Stone]] article, Weezer lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo]] explains that he got the idea for the song when his daughter, [[Mia Cuomo]], was in the hospital. According to Cuomo, his daughter was hospitalized because her white blood cell count was dropping and doctors were not sure if she would get better. Cuomo sat by her for five days and whispered to her that "You're my baby tonight, and I'm your daddy". From that line, Cuomo then had an idea to turn it into a song after his daughter showed a full recovery. | In a [[Rolling Stone]] article, Weezer lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo]] explains that he got the idea for the song when his daughter, [[Mia Cuomo]], was in the hospital.

'''Rivers:''' I was in the hospital with my 2-year-old daughter. She was really sick. And I've been there for 5 days and she wasn't getting better. I was so worried. So I snuck off for a minute and started to write a song and the first line I wrote was "You are my baby tonight and I'm your daddy". I just wanted to say something to cheer her up or make or laugh, make her feel better. So that's where that song came from. [http://video.teen.com/music/weezer-liner-notes/] | |||
