When ''Make Believe'' was first released, the version of "Perfect Situation" on the album featured one of two different melodies Cuomo originally wrote for the chorus. During the summer 2005 tour, when the band prompted the crowd to sing along, the fans, oddly enough, invariably sang the other original melody Cuomo had written. Cuomo stated in an interview during the band's 2005 performance at the [[AOL Sessions (2005)|AOL Sessions]], "Well, if these ten thousand people think it should go this way, maybe we should go back and re-record it." | When ''Make Believe'' was first released, the version of "Perfect Situation" on the album featured one of two different melodies Cuomo originally wrote for the chorus.

The recording session was held on [[September 7]], 2005 in Atlanta, GA where the [[Foozer Tour]] kicked off a day later. The radio edit of this remix, served to radio and featured in the video, is eight seconds shorter than the album version, due to a shortening of the intro guitar solo. | ||
The full-length (no edited guitar solo) remix summarily replaced the original version of the song on later pressings of ''Make Believe''. This full-length remix is also available on the ''[[Six Hits]]'' EP. | The full-length (no edited guitar solo) remix summarily replaced the original version of the song on later pressings of ''Make Believe''.
