Better yet, what's up with the (winter version) bit? :)

i think it's just to make it more ironic. or possibly some time has elapsed and now malkmus is remembering his summer babe in the winter

Pretty certain there's two versions of this song, the one of which was included on the album is subtitled "(Winter Version)". I'M SURE YOU WERE DYING FOR THIS INFO AFTER ALMOST 7 YEARS MAN.

@Racazip The band originally recorded Summer Babe for single release. Once they were signed for an album, they rerecorded it for Slanted and Enchanted (and presumably, the session was in the winter). So there's the 7" release, and the album-released Winter Version.

It does make a neat, profound-sounding parenthetical, though.
