When I was 14, this song just came to me. I had other songs in the works, but this one just wrote itself that day. A few months later, I formed my first band, The Retards, and played this song at every live show. In 2010, I re-recorded it with some additional clever ideas. Here is the 2024 reboot, eMastered!

I Don't Wanna Be Your Boyfriend (Demo) *

I was only 14 when I wrote this song. It was my second song that year, but it turned out to be a hit with my friends and fans. What was even more surprising is that it caught the attention of Ben Weasel and Green Day.
