"Hey Domingo!" was recorded in [[2002]] during [[Album 5 Demos|sessions for the band's planned fifth album]]. The song is most likely inspired by the 2002 World Cup, held in Korea and Japan. Daegu (South Korea) is mentioned in the song, as it was one of the cities where World Cup games were held. [[Rivers Cuomo]], an avid soccer fan at the time, would reference the World Cup and Soccer in later songs "[[My Day is Coming]]" and "[[Represent]]". | |||
The song shares a [[Catalog O' Riffs]] number with "[[Peace]]", written a few months later, which suggests that song was a later version of "Hey Domingo!". The song's guitar riff also somewhat resembles that of the song "[[The Dawn]]". | |||
The significance of the phrase "Hey Domingo!", with regards to the song, is unknown, though the name was later briefly used as the name of a label created by [[Todd Sullivan]] (the A&R representative who originally signed Weezer to [[Geffen]]) in [[2005]] [https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/Karl%27s_Corner_-_03/09/2006][https://www.discogs.com/Moth-Immune-To-Gravity/release/9316372]. | The significance of the phrase "Hey Domingo!", with regards to the song, is unknown, though the name was later briefly used as the name of a label created by [[Todd Sullivan]] (the A&R representative who originally signed Weezer to [[Geffen]]) in [[2005]] [https://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/Karl%27s_Corner_-_03/09/2006][https://www.discogs.com/Moth-Immune-To-Gravity/release/9316372]. | ||
