==Overview==
===Band Commentary===
'''MY BEST FRIEND'''
'''Scott:''' That’s a wild…that’s one song that’s, like, kind of, like a wild card on the record, I gotta say. Cuz…that was…yeah, that’s a wild track. And we left it -
'''Pat:''' No one thought about that song for the longest time, the next thing I know, ‘we’re doing that song!’
'''Scott:''' Yeah, and when we kind of went back and tightened everything up, it was one of the songs that I think I left all of the bass from when we tracked it. That’s just nuts.
'''Pat:''' It’s on fire. That song sounds like it’s on fire to me.
'''Rivers:''' I’m trying to think of something interesting…
'''Pat:''' That it didn’t go with Shrek?
'''Rivers:''' It’s such a complicated story, I don’t know if it’s that interesting.
'''Scott:''' I’m glad that it didn’t, I can say that much.
'''Rivers:''' Yeah, that song has some weird karma with Shrek. I remember I originally wrote it about some guy I met, and then Shrek asked us if we had a song, and then I thought, ‘oh yeah, I remember that song, let me think about showing it to them’, and they actually thought it sounded too much like it was written for Shrek. ‘Cuz this guy was kind of ogre-ish, and he made me laugh…
'''Brian:''' And you changed the lyrics for them, right?
'''Rivers:''' So I had to change the lyrics so it sounded less Shrek-like
'''Pat:''' Shrek-y?
'''Rivers:''' Shrek-ish!
'''Pat:''' Shrek-ish? Puck-ish?
'''Scott:''' It will live on longer than Shrek 2 will.
'''Rivers:''' I don’t know if it’s that interesting.
'''Brian:''' But it was also…I think at the moment when the Shrek people wanted it, it wasn’t complete either. And that would have been the version that would have been the first Weezer song people heard in 3 years, and it wasn’t actually finished to the best it could have been, so it’s a blessing that we got to work on it a little longer.
'''Rivers:''' Yeah, I feel the same way. It got so much better. I resang it, put the organ on it, it sounds way better. We put the drum sounds on it…
