"Beercan" was produced by Karl Stephenson and featured his characteristic layers of sound and bizarre samples: this song in particular prominently features samples from a Care Bears album. In addition the song also samples a small part of the Melvins song "Hog Leg". Lyrically, Beercan talks about going to a party and being surrounded by 'freedom rock slimeballs talking in code' and 'game show suckers.' The protagonist, who has just quit his job as a leafblower, is getting drunk to ditch himself and escape his worries.
As mentioned in the song, Beck once had a job blowing leaves. Beck once reminisced, "There's a leaf-blower contingent. There's no union that I know of so far, but there's certainly a spiritual brotherhood. They are the originators of noise music. It's like a cross between a Kramer guitar and a jet pack."
