Lyrics
[Verse 1] See the vegetable man in the vegetable van With a horn that's honking like a mariachi band In the middle of the street people gather around Put the dollar-dollar-dollar in the can, "¿qué onda?" TJ cowboys hang around Sleeping in the sidewalk With a Burger King crown Never wake them up, Más cerveza Til the rooster crows, Vatos ver gallos [Chorus] ¿Qué onda güero? ¿Qué onda güero? ¿Qué onda güero? ¿Qué onda güero? [Verse 2] Mano Blancos roll with crowbars Singing rancheras on cheap guitars Abuelitas with plastic bags Walking to the church with the Spanish candles Dirty borracho says 'que putas!' Ándale, Joto, your popsicle's melting (Run better run, da doo run run Mara Salvatrucha in the midnight sun) [Chorus] Güero, where are you going? ¿Qué onda güero? Güero, where are you going? ¿Qué onda güero? [Verse 3] Rampart boys with loaded rif-les Guatemalan soccer ball instant replays Mango ladies, vendedoras And a bus-stop singing Banda macho chorus [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] See the- see the vegetable man in the vegetable van With a horn honking honking mari-mariachi band Middle-middle of the street people gather around Dollar-dollar-dollar-dollar in the can, "¿Qué onda, güero?" (¿Qué onda Jose?) [Chorus] ¿Qué onda güero? Hey where you going? ¿Qué onda güero? ¿A donde vayas?

The Nigel Godrich-mixed single precedes extensive theatre and amphitheatre run this autumn.

Beck will perform two shows at London's Royal Albert Hall in April, featuring symphonic arrangements with the BBC Concert Orchestra.

The track previews Peck's upcoming duets album, 'Stampede Vol. 2'.

The now-duo also have a few UK shows coming up.

The song was previously played at his intimate performance at Lafayette in London last September.

'We Love L.A.' features an impressive lineup of guests including Judd Apatow, Pink, Inara George, Beck, Grohl’s daughter Violet, Karen O, and Tenacious D.

Grohl shared via Foo Fighters' social media accounts that "it's a little known fact that our favorite Guero actually has Jewish roots".

The original featured on last year's 'The Story of Hugo' EP.
