The song also features a sampled dialogue line (\"I'm a driver/I'm a winner...\") from the 1991 film \"Kill the Moonlight.\" The distinctive sitar part was played by producer and co-writer Carl Stephenson.\n--\n“Usually, the music inspires the lyrics. The lyrics just sort of fall off like a bunch of crumbs from the melody. That’s all I want them to be—crumbs. I don’t want to work any kind of fabricated message.” --Beck", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
