Overview
The song originated from a vocal idea concieved by Karl Koch. Rivers Cuomo adapted his lyrics, briefly playing them on acoustic guitar while in a hotel. A clip of Cuomo playing was included on the compilation DVD Video Capture Device. According to Koch, the band was asked by their lawyers to give the song a name as well as official credits before including it on the release. The decision was made to register it as a co-write between Cuomo and Koch.[1] The clip's placement in the Video Capture Device indicates it was recorded around Spring 1995, during the World Domination Tour.
