"Slob" was written by Rivers Cuomo in 2000. The song is first known to have been demoed by Weezer at Cole Rehearsal Studios in Los Angeles in July of the same year.Weezer Recording History - Page 12 The song was subsequently debuted live, as one of what would later be dubbed the "Summer Songs of 2000" (or "SS2K"). A live soundboard recording of the song performed at The Troubadour on July 30, 2000 was released to fans online as part of a semi-official SS2K album by Rivers Cuomo on November 11, 2001.
At the urging of fans, "Slob" was revived in 2002 for inclusion on Weezer's next album, Maladroit. Said Cuomo in a 2002 interview with Guitar World, "I never would have thought to put the song "Slob" on the record if the fans did not request it."
Weezer performed "Slob" multiple times at concerts throughout the summer of 2000, though the song was only performed three times while touring in support of Maladroit, and only in Japan. A live recording of the song from a concert in Japan appeared as a B-side on the "CD2" single release of "Keep Fishin'" in the UK. The song was performed at a number of shows on the in 2005 before being retired by the band. However, Rivers Cuomo performed the song at a solo acoustic concert in 2018.

==Lyrics==
Leave me alone
I won't pick up the phone
And I won't listen to messages
Sent by someone who calls up and says
I don't like how you're living my life
Get yourself a wife
Get yourself a job
You're living a dream
Don't you be a slob
Leave me again
Don't hang out in my den
Waiting for little clues to appear
That I drank some of granddaddy's beer
I don't like how you're living my life
Get yourself a wife
Get yourself a job
You're living a dream
Don't you be a slob
Slob, slob
Waiting for little clues to appear
That I drank some of granddaddy's beer
I don't like how you're living my life
Get yourself a wife
Get yourself a job
You're living a dream
Don't you be a slob
Slob, slob
