Nausea is the first single from Beck's 2006 album The Information. It has reached #13 on the Billboard Modern Rock charts.
"Nausea" is sort of a funky acoustic song on record with lots of percussion. Beck said he wanted the song "to sound like The Stooges in South America." On stage, it is much punkier, more pure Stooges. [1]
Beck said the music for this song came quickly, as part of a 7-day marathon of jamming and writing and then going back and taking bits of the jam and expanding.
