Along with "Cell Phone's Dead," Beck's online-only new single, this brand-new song indicates Beck already has some prime material in the can for his next album. "Think I'm in Love" is catchy and weirdly seductive, combining narcotic funk and a great psyched-out chorus; the video (briefly posted, then yanked) is even weirder and more fun, with Beck singing in front of a badly wigged fat dude plus other tripped-out imagery.

    “Everyday People”

    Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

    "Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
