"Saturday Night" was | "Saturday Night" was written by [[Rivers Cuomo]] in early [[2001]].<ref name="rechist13">[[Recording_History_-_Page_13|Weezer Recording History - Page 13]]</ref> It was later demoed by [[Weezer]] on multiple occasions. On [[May 27]], [[2001]], the song was among several tracks demoed at [[Maladroit_demos#DC_Demos|Monster Island Studios in Washington D.C]] for the purposes of submitting to potential producers for the band's planned fourth album.<ref name="rechist13" /> This version was later shared with fans on [[weezer.com]]. "Saturday Night" was also recorded at BBC Studios in London for the radio program ''The Evening Session with Steve Lamacq'', though it was not broadcast.<ref name="rechist13" /> Weezer attempted the song during the studio sessions for ''[[Maladroit]]'' at [[Cello Studios]] between December [[2001]] and January [[2002]], but the song did not make the cut for the album. | ||
"Saturday Night" was performed live [[#Live performances|four times]] throughout [[2001]]. A live soundboard recording of the song from [[Weezer concert: 12/11/2001|a concert in Portland, Maine]] was later shared on [[weezer.com]]. | |||
"Saturday Night" is known to have been resurrected at least one additional time during [[Album 5 Demos|early recording attempts]] for the band's planned [[Make Believe|fifth album]] in [[2002]], though all songs from these sessions were ultimately scrapped. The song bears some similarities to the [[2013]] song "[[Okashii Yatsu]]," from the [[Scott & Rivers (album)|eponymous debut album]] by [[Scott & Rivers]], though it is unknown whether this similarity is coincidental. | |||
