"Beercan" is a single by

charts.
Conception and recording
"Beercan" was produced by
Carl Stephenson and featured his characteristic layers of sound and bizarre samples: this song in particular prominently features samples from a Care Bears album. The song also samples a small part of the Melvins
song "Hog Leg"
As mentioned in the song, Beck once had a job blowing leaves. Beck once reminisced, "There's a leaf-blower contingent. There's no union that I know of so far, but there's certainly a spiritual brotherhood. They are the originators of noise music. It's like a cross between a Kramer guitar and a jet pack."[1][2][3]
Music video
Like Beck's earlier single "
Melvins frontman Buzz Osborne
