So good. Thank you, BECK, for making me seek this out. What a gem!
hilliuno
beck is a genius this fits so perfectly in the new pollution :D
Brinah
Beck did a great job sampling
the sax riff in the beginning of this track!
John Harris
Yes he did☆Damn that sax is beautiful dont u agree☆
MarkTitus
Beck astutely listened and chose a very obscure sample of this song and somehow was able to turn it into the hook of a hit radio song- back in the day.
Larry Nguyen
Beck is a genius and this sample may have also been a result of collaborating with the Dust Brothers (who produced this song), as they were known to heavily use obscure samples in their productions.
john sullivan
The original epic sax man. And yes thank you beck for using this. New pollution did a good job sampling this.

I just love it when I look up the samples from songs and everyone else recognizes the modern song rather than the original sample! It's a great way of finding new music.

ha wow...stumbled upon this..immediately recognized that Beck sample. sweet. big smile
Vittorio Mastrangelo
I know this is sampled in a beck song, but I swear I've heard it in another song, I think a rock song or maybe a movie. I'm like, 100% certain I didn't hear it for the first time as the Beck song. If anybody knows where I could've heard it before, you should let me know. It's killing me.
