Featured song: "Kings of Money"

"Kings of Money" (also known as "Prodigy Lover") is a Weezer song demoed at multiple points during sessions for the band's fifth album.

The song was first demoed in early 2002 under the name "Prodigy Lover", which would remain its title until November of that year. This demo, performed alone by Rivers Cuomo on an acoustic guitar, would be released in 2020 as part of the digital compilation Alone VIII: The Maladroit Years. Though unconfirmed, it is speculated that the song was written about Matt Sharp, with the "Prodigy" in the title referring to a model of Moog synthesizers played by Sharp. The song was practiced numerous times during early rehearsals for the album that would later become Make Believe, though the song ultimately did not make the cut. One of these rehearsal clips was videotaped and released on the 2004 DVD Video Capture Device, featuring Ryan "Shmedly" Maynes on keyboards. "Kings of Money" was performed live exactly once by Weezer, at an acoustic show at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, California.

A series of revisions throughout 2003 and 2004 ended with "Kings of Money" becoming "I'm A Robot", which was released on Death to False Metal along with three of the other Fallen Soldiers.
