==Overview== | |||
"Oh Jonas" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[1995]] while at [[Harvard]] and was intended to be on ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]''. The demo that was released on ''Alone II'' is likely from the second ''SFTBH'' soundtrack, which can be inferred by the fact that it segways into "[[Please Remember]]". Prior to its release, the song was covered numerous times by fans using only the sheet music that Cuomo published online.[[Image:Ohjonas.jpg|left|thumb|400px|Oh Jonas sheet music]]In "Oh Jonas", [[Maria]] sings of her affection for [[Jonas]] in this short interlude. However, Cuomo provides all vocals for the song, as this ''SFTBH'' project was never realized. To simulate a female voice, Cuomo pitch-shifted his vocals up several keys. Joan Wasser was the singer that Cuomo intended to use for the character of Maria. | |||

==Reception== | |||
As is typical for most ''SFTBH'' songs, "Oh Jonas" is viewed positively by many Weezer fans. Although it is a bare, short song, the melody is praised by fans. The pitch-shift that Cuomo used is often spoken of humorously by fans, as seen in the positive review it received from [[Teenage Victory Songs]]. | |||
