The Rat (song)
"The Rat" is a song by The Walkmen, released as the first single from their second album, ''Bows + Arrows'' in 2004. It has received high acclaim from critics, featuring in many publications' best-of-the-decade lists.
==Composition and recording==
Singer Hamilton Leithauser said the song originated in a jam session when the band were "just screwin' around." The band's drummer Matt Barrick instigated the track by playing a fast drum pattern. The band then quickly built this foundation into the full track, Leithauser said "we threw some chords on it, I wrote the words in five minutes." The song had been included in the band's live sets as early as February 2002, with slightly different lyrics than the recorded version.〔http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2008/07/28/smoking-section-the-walkmen-steve-miller-billy-joel/#more-6851〕
The band's usual method was to self-produce their material. However, after unsuccessful attempts to record the layered electric organ and guitar, they decided to record the track with a professional record producer at the advice of their label. This was later viewed as an unsatisfactory move by bassist Walter Martin who said "It doesn't sound right at all. I think the production for the rest of the album makes the music sound big and live. But it just sounds dense and solid."〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2004/jun/12/popandrock〕
Ezra Koenig, who worked as an intern for the band, says the song was originally titled "Girls At Night" and was recorded a year after it was first played to him.〔http://pitchfork.com/news/39758-5-10-15-20-ezra-koenig/〕
