    "comment": "The original leaked version from 2005!\n---\nThis song sampled the drums from Banbarra's \"Shack Up, Part II.\" It also features spoken-word samples from members of the band The Frogs. \n--\nThe title is Mexican slang that roughly translates to \"what's up, blond boy?\" or \"hey, white boy.\"\n\n \"It's about growing up,\" the Los Angeles-born Beck tells American Songwriter of the song. \"It's a sort of watercolor, pen-and-ink drawing with a little bit of oil slick portrait of where I grew up. I grew up around Spanish-speaking people, billboards and radio stations. I was born down in the neighborhood, and the song relates to that. If you go to that neighborhood you'll see the song. The popsicle guys, the vendorsa, the ladies with the shopping carts, the peeled mangos. My friend Paulo does the voices. He would just say things you'd hear in the neighborhood.\"",
