The Wizard Song
"The Wizard Song" was a joke song created during the Meteora sessions and shown in The Making Of Meteora documentary. Since then, many fans have wanted to hear a studio version of the song, however, Chester Bennington said during a LPU chat in April 2003, "No the wizard song will never ever ever be released because it doesnt exist."[1]
Mike Shinoda also commented about the song on August 12, 2015, in a Reddit AMA, "That was from the DVD right? We do dumb crap like that all the time, and sometimes it gets captured on camera."[2] He was questioned about the song again during a Twitch live stream on June 4, 2020, to which he answered, "I don't remember the LPTV Wizard Song. I know Chester sang like a crazy wizard thing. I don't think I could tell you anything about that, but I know it was hilarious so definitely go watch that one."[3]
"The Wizard Song" shares its instrumental with "Resolution".[4]
