Surprising many fans, Cuomo joined Sharp on stage on [[February 12]], [[2004]] during a stop on Sharp's [[List of Matt Sharp concerts|solo acoustic tour]]. The pair played four songs together: "[[Mrs. Young]]," "Time Song," "[[Say It Ain't So]]," and "[[Undone - The Sweater Song]]." "Mrs. Young" is the pair's first formal collaboration, beginning as a Sharp-penned [[1993]] demo | Surprising many fans, Cuomo joined Sharp on stage on [[February 12]], [[2004]] during a stop on Sharp's [[List of Matt Sharp concerts|solo acoustic tour]]. The pair played four songs together: "[[Mrs. Young]]," "Time Song," "[[Say It Ain't So]]," and "[[Undone - The Sweater Song]]." "Mrs. Young" is the pair's first formal collaboration, beginning as a Sharp-penned [[1993]] demo and originally written for Weezer. Cuomo assisted with the song's arrangement and the band considered it as a b-side, but it was never released. "Time Song" is a Sharp outtake, presumably written alongside the rest of his solo songs, whose [[Matt Sharp concert: 10/23/03 - Nashville, TN|first-known live performance]] was [[October 23]], [[2003]]. This duet performance of the song featured a new bridge, which, fans assume, was written by Cuomo. | ||
