    "comment": "Beck sampled the drums for Southside Movement's \"Save the World.\"\n--\nOnce when talking about \"The New Pollution,\" Beck mentioned that he likes how he took an ugly word like \"pollution\" and use it an appealing concept or context. With \"Sweet Sunshine,\" he did the opposite, taking a completely innocent (and in a way cheesy) phrase like \"sweet sunshine\" and turning it into an ugly, harsh image: \"Gonna break my face on the sweet sunshine.\" He sings of buckets of blood, scumbag souls, wreckin' balls, and how he killed his imagination. This is not a song that should be titled \"Sweet Sunshine\"! Beck's explored this type of duality in his lyrics many times, from \"Asshole\" to \"Beautiful Way.\"",
