-{{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]]''.
+{{Featured song artwork|Alone-II.jpg|Yellow Camaro}}"'''The Purification of Water'''" is the third track from ''[[Alone II]]''. One of [[Rivers Cuomo's]] most lauded demos, it circulated among fans for years prior to its official release.
-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.
+The song was originally recorded on [[January 2]], [[1993]], but the only circulating version was recorded in July of that year.  Karl has said the song was possibly never intended for Weezer, and that it seemed Rivers never quite felt satisfied with the song.

+From Cuomo's ''Alone II'' liner notes:
+  The next day Aliss and I said goodbye to each other as the King Size crew returned to L.A. She gave me a tape of a Guatemalan band named Garibaldi which I took with me and listened to a few times, thinking back wistfully on my Latin girlfriend. I recognized that the heartache I felt apart from Aliss was another good subject for a song. Specifically, I wanted to capture my pessimistic belief that the love I seek in relationships will always break my heart because all relationships must come to an end. I used a metaphor to stand in for my romantic longing: a thirsty gringo traveling south of the border, made sick by the water he so desperately seeks. The song was called '''"The Purification of Water"
