   This link isn’t working anymore, but anyway I finally heard Pork and Beans. 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 It dates the song and makes it outdated as soon as Timbaland isn’t popular anymore.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?

   The reference is ironic.

   “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.
