The final, "Radio Mix" of the song features more reverb on the vocals.Ī partial clip of Rivers Cuomo's demo of the song was appended to the end of part 5 of the video series Let's Write a Sawng, the collaborative project in which Cuomo and fans created the song " Turning Up the Radio". The second version, initially released on iTunes and some pressings of Make Believe, notably lacks emphasis on the word "that" in the final verse. The first mix, included on initial pressings of the album, contains less reverb than later versions, and includes a drum fill near the end of the song (around 3:03) that was removed from subsequent versions. There are several subtly different versions of "This Is Such a Pity" across various releases. Scott: It’s got a really cool, super consistent, like, kind of level from start to finish, which I think is really neat. Brian: We even tried using expensive Moogs and things, to try to, like, “this can’t be good enough, a $75 Casio?” and the tones just didn’t blend. Rivers: All the keyboard sounds are from a $75 Casio. I don’t think there’s any distorted guitars on that song.

I feel that that song could be-that Weezer might-things that Weezer can do and go in the future, as far as texture, and the use of clean guitars. I love the notes that Rivers added to the solo. It feels like- Rivers: You’re the composer and we’re the performers Brian: Yeah, yeah! It’s neat, it’s really cool. It’s really fun to watch Bobby and Rivers play that song every night. Brian: Ironically, I don’t play any of the guitars on it-but most all the guitars on it in the studio-and I don’t play of them live, which I think it kind of funny.

I really like the solo Brian came up with too. Rivers: Yeah, that might be my favorite song on the record. And that’s one of my favorite songs on the album. But somehow, at the last minute, it came together, and it sounds absolutely magical to me. "This Is Such a Pity" was included on Rivers Cuomo's "A-List" during pre-production in July of 2004.īand Commentary Scott: That song was tough, and it was the first song we tried to track at Grandmaster, I think, it was like the first night, and we probably retracked the basic drums for that, like four or five different times and it was almost going to get thrown out. Studios in 2004 during pre-production on Make Believe. "She Who Is Militant" shares few similarities with "This Is Such a Pity" other than a similar chord progression, though the song underwent multiple iterations unheard by fans, described as "early versions" of "Pity" in the Weezer Recording History, titled " Tell Me What You Did", " What Is Going On", and " Happy On Your Own". "This Is Such a Pity" shares an entry in the Catalog O' Riffs with the song " She Who Is Militant", originally demoed in 2002 during early sessions for the band's planned fifth album.
