The 4 and 5 Star Demos of Rivers Cuomo is a spreadsheet created and maintained by Rivers Cuomo that lists the names of demos he deems of high quality. On July 24, 2008, it was posted on riverscuomo.com, with certain songs designated as songs that either appeared on Alone, Buddyhead's Gimme Skelter compilation, or the then unreleased Alone II. It released the previously unknown track list of Alone II. An updated version of the spreadsheet was again posted on riverscuomo.com temporarily on October 30, 2010 featuring tracks attributed to Alone III. Many of the tracks listed still remain unreleased such as The Bottle of Wine Song, although it was heard during Karl's DJ set on The Weezer Cruise.

" Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori" is the seventh track from the White Album.
Rivers has stated that "Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori" is his favorite song from The White Album. He expanded on the song's development, both lyrically and sonically, on the SongExploder podcast. In the podcast, Rivers explains that he compiles a Spotify playlist of songs with "cool chord-progressions" and that he lifted the chord progression from the song Walk Away Renée by The Left Banke. Rivers titled an early version of the demo "Awaken Early" (a partial anagram of "Walk Away Renée). The final song's title came from an overheard conversation at a party at Rivers' daughter's school. One mother said that their husband called her "School-Year Elaine" during the year and "Summer Elaine" after the school year had ended, and another mother commented that her husband had two names for her as well, one of them being "Drunk Dori". Both mothers were thanked in the liner notes for The White Album. Cuomo went on to explain that he uses a spreadsheet to compile stream-of-consciousness lyrics by syllable.
