The song, when it was still called "Et Tu Brute", was first demoed acoustically by the band in July/August of [[2003]] at [[Rod Cervera|Rod Cervera's]] studio. During the band's first attempt at making ''[[Make Believe]]'' at [[Cello Studios]] in December of 2003, the song was not considered for the album. However, for 2 days late in the Cello session, [[Rivers Cuomo]] decided to record solo demos of many songs (including "Et Tu Brute") that had been dismissed in the weeks of pre-production. The likely purpose was to revisit the material to either insure it wasn't needed, or resurrect it for the album. Cuomo recorded another demo on [[February 6]], 2004 at the S.I.R. rehearsal studio. Further "S.I.R. pre-production demos" recorded by Cuomo followed in May and June of 2004, first as "Over The Mountain", then as "They Are Stupid".<br> | The song, when it was still called "Et Tu Brute", was first demoed acoustically by the band in July/August of [[2003]] at [[Rod Cervera|Rod Cervera's]] studio.

The final studio version of the song was recorded during the band's second attempt at making ''Make Believe'', at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles, CA. The sessions lasted from July 22 to October 22, 2004. It was one of 12 songs that Cuomo asked to band to only concentrate on, which he felt were the right songs for the album. Until early [[2005]], the song was designated to be the seventh track. Ultimately the song was excluded from the final track list for unknown reasons and remains unreleased to this day.<br> | The final studio version of the song was recorded during the band's second attempt at making ''Make Believe'', at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles, CA.

According to the [[Recording History]] the song had turned into a "disco jam" at this point, complete with keyboard effects, walking bass lines etc. Until early [[2005]], the song was designated to be the seventh track.
