Bell originally wrote "Yellow Camaro", with the intention of it being recorded by Weezer, in early 2002. Just after the recording of ''[[Maladroit]]'', Weezer began to record new songs at a feverish pace, with sights set on recording another album very quickly. These recordings are known as the [[Album 5 Demos]], and many new approaches were taken, with one of them being opening up the songwriting to include contributions from members other than [[Rivers Cuomo]]. This song was Brian's first effort. | Bell originally wrote "Yellow Camaro", with the intention of it being recorded by Weezer, in early 2002.

After a Space Twins show at the El Rey in Los Angeles in early 2003, a fan asked Brian whether Weezer would ever properly record "Yellow Camaro", in the wake of the song appearing on a Space Twins release. His reply was, "Not likely." Despite this, the 2002 take of the song appeared as Japanese a bonus track to Weezer's 2010 album ''[[Death To False Metal]]'', something Bell was unaware of until a fan mentioned it to him at a show in 2011. | The song was ultimately not used by Weezer, but appeared in a somewhat altered arrangement on The Space Twins' ''The End of Imagining'' in 2003. | ||

This version contains a few minor overdubs not present on the previously heard mixes from 2002, including a short synth part before the chorus. | |||
