==Overview==
==Overview==
"Turn Me Round" is first known to have been performed at soundchecks in August of 2002. The song was thereafter demoed multiple times throughout 2002 during [[S.I.R. Demos|demo sessions at S.I.R. Studios]] in 2002. Drummer [[Josh Freese]] filled in for [[Pat Wilson]] during some of these sessions. The song was performed live only once, at [[Weezer concert: 08/26/2002 - London, United Kingdom|a concert in London]] on [[August 26]], [[2002]], but no bootleg is known to exist. The song was thereafter seen as desirable by fans over the next several years. The song continued to be demoed in fall of [[2003]], once [[Weezer]] began working with [[Rick Rubin]] on the band's eventual fifth album, ''[[Make Believe]]''. The song was worked on at [[Cello Studios]] until December of that year, but was left ultimately unfinished. The song would remain unheard by fans for several years.

<poem>The day that I first saw you
I knew that I had to have you
You were as cute as could be
I needed a family around me
Over the course of the year
I slowly lost my interest
Now you're a pain in the ass
I'm going to break your backbone now


Now, turn me 'round
Turn me 'round, turn me 'round
Now, turn me 'round
Turn me 'round, turn me 'round
A noble man has instincts
To treat his serfs like objects
They work and entertain him
Until he's tiring of them
Tired of seeing your face
Cleaning up after your mess
Buying the food that you eat
I'm going to put you to sleep
Now, turn me 'round
Turn me 'round, turn me 'round
Now, turn me 'round
Turn me 'round, turn me 'round
Whoa, whoa
Round, turn me 'round
Turn me 'round, turn me 'round
Round, turn me 'round
Turn me 'round, turn me 'round</poem>
