"Nausea" was the first single from Beck's 2006 album The Information, and he said he wanted it to sound like the Stooges in South America, which is about right: a mostly acoustic stomp with a funky bounce and percussion clattering in from every side. Nigel Godrich produced, and the credits read like a party, with Beck on everything from sitar to harmonica to melodica, Greg Kurstin on berimbau, and James Gadson and Joey Waronker among the drummers.

The music came fast, out of a seven-day marathon of jamming and writing, and Beck later said the song was a couple of years old by the time he debuted it live in Davis, California, in May 2006. On Letterman, Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat turned up to play berimbau with him. It later landed in the 2010 film Repo Men.
