"E-Pro" is the opening track on Beck's 2005 album Guero. It was released as the lead single from the album in March 2005. The underlying drum beat throughout most of the song is a sample from the Beastie Boys' 1992 smash hit "So What'cha Want". The song was Beck's second #1 on the Modern Rock chart and his first in eleven years.

[edit] Video

The video for the song was created by Shynola. It is set in a computer-animated environment, where Beck rises from a grave, digs up a dog, and climbs buildings, among other things. It was nominated for "Best Music Video" in the 2005 Arias Awards.
