Transcription
"It's 5:30 on... the 15th... the day after my operation. Um... I'm, eating saltines, drinking juice. I actually peed... for the first time... on my own. It was... a glorious moment. It was truly glorious. Now I'm going to try to... set up some music to listen to. Goodbye."
Reception
Though its review laments that space is occupied on Alone III for this song instead of an additional proper demo, Weezer Songblog Teenage Victory Songs celebrates the documentarian purpose served by the song.
