Weezerpedia's featured song is a monthly showcase of a song from one of the many bands we cover. Weezerpedia has thousands of song pages, and our editors work together each month to select one that sheds light on the bands/topics we cover, highlights or "platforms" a band we want to support, etc. We have similar pages for featured articles, featured videos, featured images, and featured quotes. Weezerpedia:Featured list is being put on hiatus for a spell.

Featured song: "They Are Stupid"
"They Are Stupid" is a song recorded by Weezer during the studio sessions for the band's fifth album, Make Believe. It was ultimately unused, and has since been dubbed by Karl Koch as one of the "Fallen Soldiers." Rivers Cuomo released demos of the song in 2020 as part of the digital compilation Alone IX: The Make Believe Years.
"They Are Stupid" is a reworking of previous demos "Et Tu Brute" and "Over the Mountain." Cuomo worked on the song at S.I.R. Rehearsal Studios in Los Angeles throughout June and July of 2004 during pre-production on Make Believe. Cuomo's final known demo, dated July 20 (two days before the band entered the studio to begin recording the album), features a wholly different chorus melody from the one used in previous demos.
"They Are Stupid" was one of twelve songs that Cuomo felt was right for the album at the beginning of production. The song was completed (sans final mix) at Grandmaster Recorders in Los Angeles between July 22 and October 5, 2004. By late September, the song had—in the words of Koch—"morphed into quite a disco jam [...] complete with keyboard effects, [and] walking basslines."
Until as late as March of 2005, the song was listed as the tenth track on Amazon.com store page for Make Believe. Ultimately, the song went unused and has never been released.
