The Song:
Beck, as you may or may not know or care, back in the early '90s, hung out and worked a bit with the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. He rapped on their song "Flavor" and Jon Spencer messed around on "Diskobox." There's also an old rumor that Beck and the Blues Explosion recorded a whole tape together that hasn't seen the light of day.
In May 2010, the JSBX released a Deluxe version of their album Now I Got Worry which contained like 15 bonus tracks. One of the tracks was called "Roosevelt Hotel Blues" and credits Beck on keyboards!
