No reason to believe Scott "wrote" this (trivia probably a conflation with "Hyde"). It is an improv song. Linked concert.

==Overview==
"Polynesia" is [[Scott Shriner's]] first writing contribution to Weezer{{Citation needed}}. This instrumental segues into "[[Dope Nose]]," and the tandem makes up track one of the EP. This was done in order to keep the track total at six, which was mandated by the label. The EP was specifically created in order to market at independent music retailers only, and the total tracks were kept to a minimum to avoid breaking certain agreements with other retailers.
"Polynesia" is an improvised instrumental. The song segues into "[[Dope Nose]]" and the two songs comprise track one of the EP, a decision made to keep the track total at six, as mandated by the band's label. The EP was specifically created in order to market at independent music retailers only, and the total tracks were kept to a minimum to avoid breaking agreements with other retailers.


"Polynesia" was the first officially released Weezer song to not feature [[Rivers Cuomo]] as the writer or co-writer.
The song was performed [[Weezer concert: 05/19/2002|at Zepp Fukuoka in Fukuoka, Japan]] on [[May 19]], [[2002]].
 
The song was performed live at least once, when it was recorded for the EP in Fukuoka, Japan on [[May 19]], [[2002]].
