I ended up settling with my first instinct, which was the one that went down. In an interview with AOL Music in 2005, Rivers Cuomo explained why the band re-recorded a new version of the song: When I was writing the song "Perfect Situation", I had two different versions of the chorus melody one went down and one went up, and I didn't know which one was better.
Initial pressings of Make Believe featured a different chorus melody than later releases. Rivers: I sincerely hope that it’s the last song I write about being frustrated and angry with myself for being shy…because I’ve written way too many of those songs already. But I think it’s more than that now-it’s uh, you know, Green Plus! The lyrics of the first verse always just really killed me, so I really pushed hard for that song to make the record.īrian: Yeah, I like it lyrically a lot: “Here’s the pitch, slow and straight”, bla bla bla bla bla bla bla, and yeah, like Pat said, it’s classic Weezer Green Album style, a lot of downstrokes, the big intro, it could have gone on that album. Scott: To me it’s just an epic drama, and I felt really strong about it being on the album. īand Commentary Pat: It sounds like it could have been on the Green Album. The song was included in Rivers Cuomo's "B-List" during pre-production on Make Believe, and did not appear on album's store page in the months prior to the album's release. throughout the year, and was also demoed at Swing House Rehearsal & Recording in late 2003. The song continued to be demoed at S.I.R. Rehearsal Studios in Los Angeles on September 15, 2002, with Josh Freese sitting in on drums. The song is first known to have been demoed as a band at S.I.R.
