During the [[Acoustic Office Demos]], it was renamed "'''Kings Of Money'''", and remains unreleased. It was later renamed "'''Show Me Who You Are'''" and then "'''Happy Robot'''" (also unreleased) before manifesting as the song "[[I'm a Robot]]" (with which "Prodigy Lover" shares a [[Catalog O' Riffs]] entry), a ''[[Make Believe]]'' contender that was scrapped before ultimately appearing on the compilation ''[[Death to False Metal]]''. | ||
An early performance of "Prodigy Lover" is included in the DVD ''[[Video Capture Device]]'', wherein the band is joined by pianist [[Shmedly|Ryan "Shmedly" Maynes]]. | |||
Some fans speculate that the song is about [[Matt Sharp]], although this has not been confirmed. | |||
