"'''Sheila Can Do It'''" (likely originally titled "'''Rachel'''"; sometimes rendered as "'''Sheila Can Do (It)'''") is the eighth track from ''[[Van Weezer]]''. It was originally written by Rivers Cuomo in early [[1996]]. | |||
"Sheila Can Do It" was written early in [[1996]] during Cuomo's time spent at Harvard University. Cuomo's handwritten [[#Lyrics|lyrics]] for the song (under the title "Rachel") are dated [[February 22]]. The song, along with "[[Sunshine O]]", was notably written around the same time as ''[[Pinkerton]]'' tracks "[[Across the Sea]]", "[[The Good Life]]", "[[Falling For You]]", and "[[Butterfly]]". In a [[2020]] [[Riverpedia archive - 09/03/2020|entry]] on the [[Riverpedia]] section of Cuomo's [[riverscuomo.com|personal website]], Cuomo confirmed that the song was partially inspired by [[Rachel Haden]]. The song never appeared on an album, but was performed at [[Homie]] shows in [[1997]], and rehearsed for the intended (albeit scrapped) Homie album. | |||
