"The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" was the first song from ''The Red Album'' to be officially released on iTunes. The song includes piano, police sirens, and [[Rivers Cuomo]] singing in falsetto. [[Scott Shriner]] was particularly proud of the song saying, "The song 'The Greatest Man That Ever Lived' is a masterpiece that includes ten different styles of music based around a common theme."  Rivers wrote the song during a "happy time" over the course of three weeks.  Rivers said at the time he felt like a "musical geek".  The song is Rivers' favorite off of The Red Album and also one of his favorite songs he's ever written.
