==Overview==
"Prodigy Lover" was first recorded during the [[Album 5 Demos]], and was revisted multiple times throughout the lengthy series of recordings that ultimately resulted in the album ''[[Make Believe]]''. 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]]''.
"Prodigy Lover" was first recorded during the [[Album 5 Demos]], and later revisited multiple times throughout the lengthy, stop-and-start recording process that produced ''Make Believe''. It was reworked (and renamed) several times. During the [[Acoustic Office Demos]], it was renamed "'''Kings Of Money'''," then later retitled "'''Show Me Who You Are'''," followed by "'''Happy Robot'''," and finally "[[I'm a Robot]]," which shares a [[Catalog O' Riffs]] entry with "Prodigy Lover." "Show Me Who You Are" would not see release until it was leaked in 2020, when [[Rivers Cuomo]] was preparing to release demo bundles on his [[riverscuomo.com|website]]. "I'm a Robot" was released on the [[2010]] career-spanning 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]].
