-{{Featured song artwork|Elonmuskismakingmesad.jpg|Elon Musk Is Making Me Sad}}"'''Elon Musk Is Making Me Sad'''" is a single by [[the Rentals]] and the sixteenth and final track on the band's [[2020]] album, ''[[Q36]]''. It was initially released as a single long before the record came out, on [[October 5]], [[2017]]. The song draws comparisons between the lives of songwriter [[Matt Sharp]] and entrepreneur Elon Musk.
+{{Featured song artwork|The End of Imagining cover.jpg|Yellow Camaro}}"'''Yellow Camaro'''" is the fourth track on ''[[The End of Imagining]]'', the debut album by [[Brian Bell]]'s side project the [[Space Twins]]. It was previously recorded by [[Weezer]], but not released until [[2010]] as a bonus track on the Japanese version of ''[[Death to False Metal]]''.
-The song was officially unveiled on Wired Magazine [https://www.wired.com/2017/10/elon-musk-rentals-song/] on [[October 4]], [[2017]]. Upon its release, Sharp commented: "Right from its inception, in the earliest sketches of the lyrics and melodies, there was always an urgency to share this particular song with everyone, at the very first possible chance that was available to us." The eventual album version of the song differs only slightly from the single track. The song's release was accompanied by a merch offer of unisex t-shirt designed by Ivan Minsloff. The song's lyric video, which received decent buzz, was directed by Daniel Christiansen and Michael D. Belmonte using footage from a Commodore Vic 20 computer.
+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. This version contains a few minor overdubs not present on the previously heard mixes from 2002, including a short synth part before the chorus.
