"Pork 'n Beans" was written right after a meeting with Geffen management, who wanted a radio hit from the album. In turn, they got "Pork 'n Beans", which, while addictive, makes fun of writing hit songs. The reference is ironic.

Overall, I like it. However, the second verse really annoyed me. I mean, why reference Timbaland? Unless you're making a poppy pop song, it's dumb to refer to a current pop culture figure. It dates the song and makes it outdated as soon as Timbaland isn't popular anymore. I also thought it was silly how the lyrics basically imply "we don't care if our songs are catchy, we're just gonna do what we want." Um, hello, "Beverly Hills," anyone?
