-{{Featured song artwork|Karlscorner-20040924-c.jpg|Prodigy Lover}} "'''Prodigy Lover'''" is an unreleased [[Weezer]] song, demoed in the sessions leading up to ''[[Make Believe]]''.
+{{Featured song artwork|Rentals-colorado-artwork.png|Colorado}} "'''Colorado'''" is a single by [[The Rentals]] released on [[September 27]], 2008 as a precursor to ''[[Songs About Time]]''.
-The song 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]]''.
+The song was written during {{PN|Matt Sharp}} acoustic solo career, and he performed it many times while on tour. As Sharp explained in a [[A few words about Colorado from Matt & The Rentals|2008 letter to fans]], the song received a full-band arrangement when he was approached about contributing a song for a compilation. The song became "a test run" for the forthcoming ''Songs About Time'', featuring the nontraditional recording methods and ambitious artistic premises that would come to define the project. The song features drum beats programmed into a keyboard as well as percussion sourced from drum sticks drumming on the floor of the studio they recorded in. The [http://vimeo.com/2735285 second video] released in the ''SAT'' project shows the band recording the song.
-Though the song’s meaning has never been confirmed, some fans speculate that the song is about [[Matt Sharp]], as “Prodigy” could refer to the model of Moog synthesizer.
+This was the first release by the band to include vocalist [[Jamie Blake]].
