Beck's "Mixed Bizness" struts out of Midnite Vultures, his 1999 album, and in 2000 it followed "Sexx Laws" as the record's second single. Beck wrote it, sings it, works a vocoder and produced it with Tony Hoffer, and the credits read like an after-hours revue: Jon Birdsong on trumpet, David Arthur Brown on tenor sax and David Ralicke on trombone, guitars from Hoffer and Smokey Hormel, Roger Joseph Manning Jr. on synth and another vocoder, Justin Meldal-Johnsen on bass and shakers, and Joey Waronker on drums. It's funk rock with its shirt unbuttoned.
The CD single piled on five non-album tracks and remixes and reached 34 in the UK. Beck has played it live more than 300 times, 54 of them on his Colors tour, though it all but vanished from 2010 to 2014, surfacing just once, in 2011.
