'My Name Is Jonas' is an introduction song- introducing Weezer band members Rivers Cuomo and Jason Cropper (who isn't with the band anymore).
'My Name Is Jonas' is the same as 'My Name Is Jason'. Jonas is an anagram of Jason (an anagram is where you mix up the letters).
'My Name Is Weepel' - Weepel is the word Rivers would choose as his dying last word - like 'Rosebud' on Citizen Kane. When this song was first played the line was, 'My Name Is Weezer'. Rivers' childhood nickname was Weezer - because he had allergies/asthma.
So Jonas means Jason and Wepeel means Rivers.
"Explains how 'the plan' is reaming is all. Especially my brother.It's a good intro to the album." -Rivers
"Jason Cropper is an original member of Weezer. In the earliest incarnation, he played acoustic guitar and lent backup vocals. One of the best things about Jason was his smile that seems a permanent part of his face. When Weezer used to actually 'flyer' for a show, long before the days of sold-out, pre-ticketed shows, Jason would be somewhere at every town with a smile and a flyer. Jason was replaced by Brian Bell while Weezer was in new York recording their album. Jason returned to L.A. and released a daughter, Kiefer rain, instead of an album. One of our most glamorous moments was at jason's wedding on the beach at Malibu. We felt like we were on the set of a Melrose Place wedding, it was beautiful."
