"The Odd Couple" was originally demoed by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in [[2006]], according to [[The 4 and 5 Star Demos of Rivers Cuomo|a spreadsheet]] Cuomo assembled in [[2008]] of his "4 and 5-star demos." In the song's lyrics, Cuomo likens his relationship to a partner (likely his wife) to that of ''[[Wikipedia:The_Odd_Couple_(play)|The Odd Couple]]'' (a 1965 play that spawned myriad derivations in the decades since). Cuomo recorded a demo in [[2007]] for ''[[Deliverance at Hand!]]'', a CD-R compilation assembled by Cuomo for the other members of Weezer, in consideration for the band's planned [[Weezer (The Red Album)|sixth album]]. | |||
"The Odd Couple" was recorded with producer [[Rick Rubin]] during the production of ''The Red Album'', though it did not, ultimately, make the cut. The song was revisited in [[2010]] for the compilation album ''[[Death to False Metal]]'', where it received additional overdubs with producer [[Shawn Everett]].<ref>''Death to False Metal'' liner notes</ref> Cuomo's ''Deliverance at Hand!'' demo was released in [[2020]] as part of the digital compilation ''[[Alone X: The Red-Raditude-Hurley Years]]''. | |||
