 Still, a few things were different.  Of course, the synthesizers and female vocals were absent, but surprisingly, the chord change and dynamic feel present in the VCD rehearsal were absent from the demo.  Regardlessly, fans consider "Superfriend" to be one of Rivers' finer compositions.  Notable in this version is the atypical intro/outro.
-==Overview==
-"Superfriend" is a slow ballad where [[Jonas]] confides to [[Laurel]], the "good girl" and other female character in the story. It takes place during Act 1.  During the song, Jonas reprises his sentiments from the previous two tracks, chiding himself for giving into [[Maria|Maria's]] seduction despite the fact he does not love her. Laurel urges Jonas to grow up and be better than that. Jonas finds himself smitten with Laurel, but she can see through his act and tells him to get real.
-The song has a completely different track placement on the two different track lists - on Track List 2, "Superfriend" comes several tracks after the pivotal "She's Had a Girl". Like "You Won't Get with Me Tonight", whether the meaning and/or lyrics of this song would have changed as a consequence is unknown.
-This song was released as a demo, with Rivers singing both parts, on Alone - The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo.
 ===Reprise===
 Karl Koch has stated that the "Superfriend" reprise on Track List 2 is a short instrumental of the song.
