Featured song: "Sheila Can Do It"
"Sheila Can Do It" (likely originally titled "Rachel"; sometimes rendered as "Sheila Can Do (It)") is the eighth track from Van Weezer. It was originally written by Rivers Cuomo in early 1996.
"Sheila Can Do It" was written early in 1996 during Cuomo's time spent at Harvard University. Cuomo's handwritten lyrics for the song (under the title "Rachel") are dated February 22. The song, along with "Sunshine O", was notably written around the same time as Pinkerton tracks "Across the Sea", "The Good Life", "Falling For You", and "Butterfly". In a 2020 entry on the Riverpedia section of Cuomo's personal website, Cuomo confirmed that the song was partially inspired by Rachel Haden. The song never appeared on an album, but was performed at Homie shows in 1997, and rehearsed for the intended (albeit scrapped) Homie album.
