“Arabian Nights”! Classic Beck Vultures<\/i> weirdness. I wanted to point everyone to the interview Beck did with Andre 3000 and Big Boi of Outkast, where he said this song was inspired by them. I couldn’t find it on the web though: here’s the relevant part which I’d quoted over on Ghost:<\/p>\n

“I’m gonna send you a B-side that I did a couple years ago that was very influenced by ATLiens. It’s called “Arabian Nights”.” He then said it was his tribute to them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m still waiting for Beck and Outkast to collaborate!<\/p>\n

[15:50:58] arabian nights: i always wish this was the song from aladdin
\n[15:51:03] Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
\nWhere the caravan camels roam
\nWhere it’s flat and immense
\nAnd the heat is intense
\nIt’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home
\n[15:51:16] Arabian nights
\nLike Arabian days
\nMore often than not
\nAre hotter than hot
\nIn a lot of good ways
\n[15:54:34] actually this song’s pretty badass as it is. just not as badass as aladdin
\n[15:55:14] it taught us all about lazer vizaginal rejuvination<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
