"The New Pollution"
Song

The New Pollution is a single by Beck, taken from his breakthrough album, Odelay.

The influence of The Beatles' experimental song "Tomorrow Never Knows" from their 1966 album Revolver is strong in this song. For one, there are many tape loops sampled in the song, most of them repeating several times throughout the whole song. The repeating drum track played in the song is strikingly similar to the one found on "Tomorrow Never Knows." The instrumental solos in the song are also very similar to the Beatles' song. More of the Beatles' influence can be found in the song's bass line, which is reminiscent of the bass line in Taxman.
