"Getchoo" was originally written by Rivers Cuomo in January of [[1994]], between the recording and release of ''[[The Blue Album]]''. The song was played live while the band was [[Blue Album Tour|touring in support of ''The Blue Album'']]. Later, in 1995, Cuomo considered the song for (ultimately unfinished) "rock-opera" concept album ''[[Songs from the Black Hole]]''. The song appeared on track lists and early drafts for that concept, before being dropped from later lists. While the ''Black Hole'' concept was eventually scrapped, "Getchoo" was worked on by the band and the album concept eventually morphed into ''Pinkerton'', wherein "Getchoo" appears as the second track. | |||
In [[2005]], the band played the song with [[Brian Bell]] on lead vocals. | |||
An rough in-studio recording of the song appeared on the second disc of the Deluxe Edition of ''Pinkerton'' in [[2010]], listed as "Getchoo (Tracking Rough)". | |||
