Featured song: "Jamie"
"Jamie" is a song by Weezer. It was released as a B-side to UK retail single releases of "Buddy Holly." It was also released on the compilation DGC Rarities, Vol. 1 and as the fourth track on the Weezer rarities compilation Dusty Gems & Raw Nuggets.
Jamie was written by Rivers Cuomo early in March 1993 as a sincere reaction to the help the band was getting from their first attorney, Jamie Young. Although band lawyers are indeed paid very well, Rivers was experiencing a real feeling of gratitude and safety, which comes out in this track. It wasn't so much a "thank you" as it was an expression of the feelings of confidence and security produced by having a high-powered attorney (after long months of worry).
Though he had already left the band, Jason Cropper is featured on "Jamie," the first and only proper Weezer release he would be featured on, not counting the bonus tracks on the reissues of The Blue Album.
