"Sherry Fraser" was the third single Marcy Playground pulled from their self-titled 1997 debut, a John Wozniak song that he produced himself, with Kenny Gioia and Jim Sabella engineering and Gioia mixing alongside the band. It followed "Saint Joe on the School Bus" out the door on Capitol.

The title isn't an invented muse. Sherry Fraser was a friend of the band, credited on that same debut as S. Fraser for co-writing "Ancient Walls of Flowers", and she's the founder of the band Two Ton Boa. The song never came near the size of "Sex and Candy", but it picked up a respectable run of radio and MTV2 play in 1998.
