 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 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 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.
