Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Sissyneck. By Songfacts®.

This was the fourth single taken from alternative rock artist Beck's second album, Odelay.

Among the samples included on this song are for the organ line, "Life" by Sly & the Family Stone and for the bass line "Apart Of Me" by Country Funk. The whistling at the beginning of the track was taken from "The Moog and Me" by American jazz pianist/keyboardist Dick Hyman.

Another sample Beck did initially use was from a Barbie cell phone, which was originally at the end of this song. However it had to be deleted from the final version after Mattel denied permission for its use. Beck told Pulse!: "We tried to kidnap Barbie, but Mattel has some pretty intense muscle that I wouldn't want to be locked up into. Barbie's got a mean uncle."
