The New Pollution
"The New Pollution" is a song by American musician Beck, released as the third single from his fifth album, ''Odelay'' (1996). It samples the song "Venus" by Joe Thomas. In the US, the song peaked at number 78 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and number nine on the ''Billboard'' Alternative Airplay chart. In Europe, it was a Top 10 hit in Iceland, peaking at number nine. Critical reception Justin Chadwick from Albumism picked "The New Pollution" as one of the "unequivocal standouts" of the ''Odelay'' album, describing it as "buoyant" and "exhilarating, pop-friendly fare". British magazine ''Music Week'' rated the song four out of five, adding, "Similar to Devils Haircut in execution, this mellow outing from ''Odelay'' should follow its predecessor into the Top 30." Editor Alan Jones called it a gem, adding, "Like the hit Devils Haircut, it sounds very tongue in cheek and combines the psychedelic swirl of The Beatles' Within You, Without You with the bass line from Taxman, although it ...

The reviewer added, "This one sticks in the mind." David Sinclair from ''The Times'' declared it as "a typically aberrant mixture of beatbox pop and punk poetry from the gifted Californian oddball."

Best Male Video
The MTV Video Music Award for Best Male Video was one of four original general awards that have been handed out every year since the first MTV Video Music Awards in 1984.

With three victories, Eminem is the artist with most wins in this category, and also has the most nominations with nine.

MTV Video Music Awards
The MTV Video Music Awards (commonly abbreviated as the VMAs) is an award show presented by the cable channel MTV to honour the best in the music video medium. Originally conceived as an alternative to the Grammy Awards (in the video category), the annual MTV Video Music Awards ceremony has often been called the "Super Bowl for youth", an acknowledgment of the VMA ceremony's ability to draw millions of youth from teens to 20-somethings each year. By 2001, the VMA had become a coveted award. The statue given to winners is an astronaut on the moon, one of the earliest representations of MTV, and was colloquially called a "moonman". However, in 2017, Chris McCarthy, the president of MTV, stated that the statue would be called a "Moon Person" from then on. The statue was conceived by Manhattan Design—also designers of the original MTV logo—based on the 1981 "Top of the Hour" animation created by Fred Seibert, produced by Alan Goodman, and produced by Buzz Potamkin at Buzzco As ...

Where It's At (Beck Song)
"Where It's At" is a song by American alternative rock musician Beck. It was released as the first single from his fifth album, ''Odelay'' (1996). Beck wrote the song in 1995 and premiered it at Lollapalooza the same year, in a version very similar to its incarnation on ''Odelay''. He has performed the song often since 1995, frequently experimenting with the music and lyrics. Production "Where It's At" has a number of spoken samples that Beck and the Dust Brothers incorporated into it. Many of these come from an obscure sex education album titled ''Sex for Teens: (Where It's At)'', a subtitle Beck borrowed (see link below). Other vocal samples incorporated into "Where It's At" come from "Needle to the Groove" by old-school hip hop group Mantronix ("we've got two turntables and a microphone..."), as well as The Frogs ("that was a good drum break"). The song also references Gary Wilson, one of Beck's influences. In addition, just before the Frogs sample begins, the song incorpor ...
