"The Prettiest Girl in the Whole Wide World" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[1997]], and was performed by Cuomo at solo shows in and around Boston in [[1997]] and [[1998]]. The song was not officially released until Cuomo's demo was released on ''[[Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]'' in [[2008]]. A studio version of the song was recorded by Weezer and released the following year on the band's [[2009]] album, ''[[Raditude]]''. [[Sam Bell]], who helped engineer ''Raditude'', provides the voiceover intro on the officially released Weezer version. | "The Prettiest Girl in the Whole Wide World" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[1997]], and was performed by Cuomo at solo shows in and around Boston in [[1997]] and [[1998]].

The initial live version features a bass line absent from the demo and later ''Raditude'' version. The two are also very different structurally, and the way the chord progressions are played differ as well. It's unknown if this is [[Pat Wilson]]'s bass line mentioned in the [[Recording_History_-_Page_10#Late_February_1998_:_Weezer_records_demos_in_LA|Recording History]] or just something Cuomo wrote after recording a demo that appeared on ''[[Alone II]]''. | The initial live version features a bass line absent from the demo and later ''Raditude'' version.
