As Cuomo thought song titles with parentheses looked "ugly", a dash was used in the title. The song was originally only known as "Undone" however, the band decided to add "The Sweater Song" to the title after fans at their early shows repeatedly referred to the song as "The Sweater Song" or "that song about the sweater".

Ĭuomo has also said that it was his attempt at writing "a Velvet Underground-type song," but he later referred to the song as an inadvertent rip-off of Metallica's " Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", with the band's metal roots showing through. It was supposed to be a sad song, but everyone thinks it's hilarious.

"Undone" is the feeling you get when the train stops and the little guy comes knockin' on your door. Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo has commented on the song, saying: This dialogue is frequently ad-libbed during concerts and other live recordings. Instead, the studio version of the song features a spoken introduction by then bassist Matt Sharp and longtime friend of the band Karl Koch, as well as an "intermission" set of dialogue between Karl and one of the founding members of Weezer's official fan club and early supporter of the band, Mykel Allan. Originally, the band intended to insert various sound clips into the song but were wary of the cost of licensing them. It was released as their debut single in 1994. " Undone – The Sweater Song" is a song by the American alternative rock band Weezer, released on the band's self-titled 1994 debut album.
