"Bus to Beelzebub" rides in on Ruby Vroom, the 1994 debut album from American rock band Soul Coughing, and it's one of the record's sample-based pieces, built around a loop of Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse", so Scott shares the writing credit with the band. Tchad Blake produced it with the group and recorded and mixed it himself, with John Paterno engineering.
On an album that swings between sample-driven tracks, guitar songs and jazzy numbers pushed along by upright bass, this is the loop-and-collage side at full tilt. In September 2024 the band went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to announce a remastered 30th anniversary edition of Ruby Vroom.
