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.
Said Koch, after he was asked about the song in 2022:
|
Well, it was in the VCD as i recall, in a video i shot in a hotel room. i had come up with the vocal idea, and Rivers ran with it on his acoustic guitar. I wanted to include the clip in the VCD but the lawyers were like "ok whats this song it needs official credits?" So it got officially registered as a co-write. It isnt really a complete song at all... we should finish it someday. |
The clip's placement in the Video Capture Device indicates it was recorded around Spring 1995, during the World Domination Tour.
