To tell the story on the album, the plan was to get other guest vocalists in on the action to sing the various characters' other parts. The song is really a conversation between two characters. The song's lyrics may seem confusing, but what must be understood is that there are two different characters here, one male and one female, and that on this demo, Rivers is singing both parts. At the time, the second album was to be called Songs from the Black Hole and was intended to be a "space opera", along the lines of Tommy or Jesus Christ Superstar. "This track was written and recorded by Rivers as a home demo in early 1995, and was intended for the second Weezer album. Karl Koch's commentary from the liner notes of Gimme Skelter:
i actually have quite a good memory for certain things but that period must have been blocked out! dark!" that old boy matt must have been in england, it's weird as time goes on my memory of that period gets dimmer and fused with mythology. iirc, there wasn't any bass on You Won't Get With Me Tonight so i put it on there. " I think they were from a rehearsal in the studio as the drums are insanely loud in all the vocal mics. Patrick Wilson posted the following background information on "the crushing versions" in November 2010 on All Things Weezer: This version was leaked online on April 11, 2011.

On September 29, 2010, after preview clips of Pinkerton (Deluxe Edition) were released on iTunes, Patrick Wilson revealed in a chat convo on that an unreleased full band version of this song exists, dubbed "the crushing version". It's unknown whether the Track List 2 version of "You Won't Get with Me Tonight" would have had any lyrical changes to accommodate its new track placement at the end rather than at the beginning of the album/story. The full "You Won't Get with Me Tonight" wasn't completely dropped from the track lists though, instead being placed near the end.
On Track List 2, the song is essentially split up into two new tracks, " Who You Callin' Bitch?" and " Please Remember" - their titles are both derived from this song and they have similar lyrics. The story's premise here is preserved in the Buddyhead release of the song. Jonas affirms his friendship with Maria though by telling her that he will protect her from Wuan and Dondó, making sure they won't bother her any more. Maria really wants to hook up with Jonas but has resolved to avoid any form of sexual interaction with her. The song is high-energy with a fast tempo and features a synthesizer/guitar duet during the instrumental break.įor Track List 1, the song leads on from " Blast Off!" as a conversation between Jonas and Maria, the female character from the previous track.
In the Gimme Skelter liner notes, Karl wrote that Joan Wasser was to play the other character, Maria. The vocals are panned in order to differentiate the different character parts.
This officially-released 8-track demo recording was done completely by Rivers (although released as Weezer), who plays all the instruments, and sings as both characters.
