"They Are Stupid" is a reworking of previous demos "[[Et Tu Brute]]" and "[[Over the Mountain]]." Cuomo worked on the song at S.I.R. Rehearsal Studios in Los Angeles throughout June and July of [[2004]] during pre-production on ''[[Make Believe]]''. Cuomo's final known demo, dated [[July 20]] (two days before the band entered the studio to begin recording the album), features a wholly different chorus melody from the one used in previous demos of "They Are Stupid" (and its prior incarnations). "They Are Stupid" was one of twelve songs that Cuomo felt was right for the album at the beginning of production.<ref name="rechist15" /> The song was completed (sans final mix) at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles between [[July 22]] and [[October 5]], [[2004]]. By late September, the song had—in the words of Koch—"morphed into quite a disco jam [...] complete with keyboard effects, [and] walking basslines." Until as late as March of [[2005]], the song was listed as the tenth track on Amazon.com store page for ''Make Believe''.<ref>[[:File:Amazon screenshot (1).jpg]]</ref> Ultimately, the song went unused and the full band version | "They Are Stupid" is a reworking of previous demos "[[Et Tu Brute]]" and "[[Over the Mountain]]."
