Featured article: Rock and Roll Part Three
Rock and Roll Part Three is the debut album by Ozma. It was released on January 1, 2000 through Tornado Recordings, then re-issued on August 21, 2001 after Ozma was signed to Kung Fu Records.
During the recording of the album in 1999, bassist Daniel Brummel posted daily progress updates on the band's website, ozmaonline.com. Many songs that later appeared on the album were first recorded and released one year earlier as part of Ozma's demo compilation, Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars. This compilation was released for free on MP3.com.
Before a Weezer performance on the Vans Warped Tour, Ozma guitarist Jose Galvez was able to give a CD of the album to Brian Bell, who extended it to Rivers Cuomo. Ozma would later receive word from Justin Fisher that Cuomo loved the album and was "singing along to every word". This led to the band being invited to open for Weezer on the Yahoo! Outloud Tour in 2001 and the Hyper-Extended Midget Tour in 2002. The album's lead track, "Domino Effect", would also be selected by Cuomo in 2005 for his iTunes Celebrity Playlist. He described the song as Ozma "beating me at my own game."
