[[ | "The Biggest Animal" was first recorded as a solo track by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in January of 1991<ref>[[Recording_History_-_Page_1#Post-Zoom_Rivers.27s_4_and_8_track_recordings|Recording History - Page 1]]</ref>. This recording was included on Cuomo's cassette tape demo ''[[The Yeastmaster]]'', which compiled demos from [[1990]] to [[1992]]. The song would be demoed again twice, once in February and once in March, both times by Fuzz as a full band. This included [[Patrick Wilson]] on drums and [[Scottie Chapman]] on bass. | ||
Though Fuzz would not last through [[1991]], "The Biggest Animal" would survive for a short while longer in {{PN|Weezer}} early live sets. During [[Weezer concert: 05/21/1992|a May 1992 show]] at the [[8121 Club]] in West Hollywood, [[Rivers Cuomo]] would give a nod to Fuzz by introducing the song as being "by one of our favorite bands."<ref>[[Historic event: 05/21/1992]]</ref>. | |||
[[Jason Cropper]] jokingly referenced the song during a Weezer rehearsal in June 1992, soliciting groans and laughs from the rest of the band when suggested they should practice it.<ref>[[Recording_History_-_Page_3#early_June_1992:_taped_garage_practice_.232|Recording History Page 3]]</ref>. | |||
Cuomo included the song on "[[The 4 and 5 Star Demos of Rivers Cuomo]]," a list compiling demos he deems of high quality that he released in July [[2008]]. | |||
