{{Rivers Cuomo quote|["La Mancha Screwjob" is about someone I once worked with and] having mixed feelings about them as a collaborator, but ultimately realising we’re much better than anything I can do on my own.

"La Mancha Screwjob" was originally written for Weezer's 2014 album ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]'',<ref name="npr">Hilton, Robin. "How Weezer Traded Power Chords For Pop: A Conversation With Rivers Cuomo" ''NPR''. 27 October 2017. https://www.npr.org/sections/allsongs/2017/10/27/560044425/how-weezer-traded-power-chords-for-pop</ref> but "didn't fit" on the album. The version on ''Pacific Daydream'' is purportedly mostly unchanged, lyrically, from the earlier iteration.<ref name="npr" /> The intro and outro to the song feature vocal screeches, likely Cuomo's voice manipulated in Pro Tools by [[Butch Walker]].<ref name="npr" /> | |||
