{{Rivers Cuomo quote|"Every day, a really weird thought comes to my mind and I just put it out there - and now I have this long list of weird thoughts. I must have been thinking them all along, but there was never any reason to write them down. I actually go back through my tweets to look for lyric ideas. A fair amount of songs in the last couple years started on Twitter. | |||
'Smart Girls' on ''Hurley'' was originally called 'Where Did All These Hot Girls Come From'. That was a tweet. I didn't give any context for it, but I was talking about girls tweeting at me - where were they when I was single?" And a line in 'Runaway': "Is it us making love in the Milky Way?" - that comes from a tweet where I asked if the Milky Way made anyone else sad.|[[Huck Magazine interview with Rivers Cuomo - May/June 2011|''Huck'' interview]]<ref>Edwards, Gavin "The Tweet Life of Rivers Cuomo" ''Huck''.

So I got on the drums and he got on the guitar, and we just jammed out the ideas for half an hour. And at the end of that, we pretty much had the song that you hear on the record."<ref>Powers, Ann.
