Overview
"Monday Night Football" was first alluded to by Rivers Cuomo in a Riverpedia entry for SZNZ as being a song about the pilot of the Goodyear Blimp. At this time, however, it had yet to be placed in any of the seasons. The page song was later confirmed to be the last song on SZNZ: Summer. Cuomo attempted to persuade his management to allow Weezer to perform the song at the NFL draft performance, but Crush rejected the idea for being too on-the-nose.[1] Cuomo first mentioned the song under the title "Thank You and Good Night" as an acronym on his Discord server on June 6, 2022, after being asked what his favorite song from SZNZ: Summer was.[2] On June 11, Cuomo shared a voice note clip of the song to fans, revealing the title to be "Thank You and Good Night". [3]
The intro to "Thank You and Good Night" is repurposed from a song Rivers Cuomo first wrote as a teenager in 1988, "Never Forget," for his band Avant Garde. The bridge melody to "Thank You and Good Night" also resembles that of a previous Weezer song, "Beginning of the End" (itself lifted the chorus of the solo Cuomo demo "Volunteers"). It is unknown if this similarity was an accident (ala the reuse of "You and Me Together" for "Iambic Pentameter" on SZNZ: Winter) or a deliberate allusion.
Two demos of "Monday Night Football" were leaked online in December of 2022.
