Cuomo recorded a song fragment titled "Sing to Me Slow" to his 8-track while living at 2914 Urban Avenue in West Los Angeles during the summer of [[1991]], and demoed it again under the title "Underground" in late summer or fall of that same year. In the [[Recording_History_-_Page_2|Weezer Recording History]], [[Karl Koch]] described this demo as such: "''Rivers reacts to the advent of "grunge" music. Song is deemed too.... something... for [[Sixty Wrong Sausages|60WS]].''". | Cuomo recorded a song fragment titled "Sing to Me Slow" to his 8-track while living at 2914 Urban Avenue in West Los Angeles during the summer of [[1991]], and demoed it again under the title "Underground" in late summer or fall of that same year.

Though the song wouldn't be heard by fans until [[2021]], when it was a part of a [[riverscuomo.com demos|group of demos]] that leaked, the lyrics to the song have been known since the early 2000's. This is because Cuomo uploaded a scan of the lyrics to his [[riverscuomo.com|his personal website]] at that time. | |||
