"December" was first recorded on [[May 27]], [[2001]] at [[DC Demos|Monster Island Studios in Washington, D.C.]], during a stop on the [[Hooptie Tour]], with the intention of sending the recordings to prospective producers for the band's [[Maladroit|planned fourth album]]. Several of these recordings were posted to [[weezer.com]], but "December" was not among them. The song was attempted again for the [[BBC_Sessions#2001|Radio 1 show The Evening Session]], presented by Steve Lamacq, on [[June 13]], 2001. Normally, bands record four songs to promote a new album, but Weezer performed eight entirely new songs. "December" was not one of the songs aired, but was finished in Los Angeles on [[July 9]] and later released for free on weezer.com. The song was brought back during the [[Maladroit Demos|sessions for ''Maladroit'']] in December of that year. The band shared several in-progress recordings of the song with fans during the album's production. | "December" was first recorded on [[May 27]], [[2001]] at [[DC Demos|Monster Island Studios in Washington, D.C.]], during a stop on the [[Hooptie Tour]], with the intention of sending the recordings to prospective producers for the band's [[Maladroit|planned fourth album]].
