Overview
"The Sweetest One of All" was demoed by several times by Weezer in 2002 and several times by Rivers Cuomo in 2004 at S.I.R. Rehearsal Studios. The song is one of several songs derived from Catalog O' Riffs entry #393, which ultimately culminated in the scrapped Make Believe track "You're the One."
