"Mama Don't Want No Peas An' Rice An' Cocoanut Oil" is a Bahamian song from 1932. This mix includes versions from Cleo Brown in 1935, Count Basie & His Orchestra with Jimmy Rushing in 1938 and Burl Ives with The Anita Kerr Singers in 1961.
A couple of other songs repeat across the mix. "Tapioca Tundra" is a Michael Nesmith-written song for The Monkees released on their 1968 album The Birds, The Bees & The Monkees. This mix includes an acoustic version Nesmith recorded during those album sessions as well as the album version. "Ocean Rain" is the title track to a 1984 Echo & The Bunnymen album, and is here along with a 2020 cover version by Tanya Donelly And The Parkington Sisters.
The J Dilla remix of Common's "Come Close", with Erykah Badu, Q-Tip and Pharrell Williams, samples the Roy Ayers'-produced Ramp's "Daylight" from their sole album, 1977's Come Into Knowledge.
The rest: Talib Kweli's Madlib-produced "The Show"; the political ""B" Movie", Junes Tyson eerie "Satellites Are Spinning" with Sun Ra; the jaunty "Jet Set Junta" by The Monochrome Set"; the punishing "Problems" from the sole Sex Pistols album Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols released in 1977; the funky "4 More" by De La Soul with Zhane; the suggestive "The Rub" by George and Gwen McRae; the vulnerable "Liquor" by Kara Jackson; the Bearsville demo of "They're Blind" by The Replacements; the haunting "Yes, The River Knows" by The Doors and a cover of "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody" by Badbadbadnotgood with Norah Jones.
