'''"The Odd Couple"''' is the eighth track on ''[[Death to False Metal]]''. In a 2009 interview, [[Karl Koch]] described | '''"The Odd Couple"''' is the eighth track on ''[[Death to False Metal]]''. | ||
==Overview== | |||
====''Deliverance at Hand!''==== | |||
In a 2009 interview, [[Karl Koch]] described "The Odd Couple" as: "I liked this song a good deal. It was a clever, apparently autobiographical song, which I assumed was about him and his wife. It was funny. Again, piano based, not 'rock.'" This description doesn't seem to fit the released version of the song. A [[2007]] Rivers demo of the song, part of his ''[[Deliverance at Hand!]]'' demo, is known to exist, thus Koch's description may be of this version, or it may describe a studio version that does not circulate among fans. | |||
====Consideration for ''The Red Album'' and later release==== | |||
The song was worked on with [[Rick Rubin]] for the band's [[2008]] album ''[[The Red Album|Weezer]]'', aka ''The Red Album'', but was not included on any version of the album. The same recording recieved further overdubs in [[2009]] or [[2010]] with producer [[Shawn Everett]], with this version seeing release on [[2010]]'s ''Death to False Metal''. This version does not contain piano, and is more "rock" than Karl Koch had described years prior. | |||
