| To get me some pants..... |
| *In the recent CMJ article, Beck says the original title of the song was |
| "Aurele"(a Chicano exclamatory slang, which according to Beck is "somewhere |
| between (the meaning's of) 'salut' or 'l'chaim' ") but the engineer heard |
| the chorus wrong and wrote down "O-de-lay". In the end, Beck liked the |
| way "Odelay" looked better. So, really, he is intending to say "Aurele". |
