Beck/A lyric

Question
In the song "hollywood freaks" on Midnite Vultures has a part that sounds like it is saying "Hear my love" but I am not sure that that is what it says so please tell me what he is actually saying if you know and if you have the time, THANKS

Answer
Hey Andrea,

Sorry for the slow response - long story involving a crappy computer.  I don't know the answer to your question, as my copy of Midnite Vultures was stolen quite some time ago and I haven't the money to replace it.  Oh!  The line is actually "He mah nunnn!" (nun).  I guess the story behind it has to do with mishearing some of rapper/writer/director/actor Ice Cube's lyrics.  On every other song or so, he likes to say that.  I hope that helped.  Sorry again.

I specialize in Beckist recordings. As a matter of fact, I, myself, personally, am a Beckist. I enjoy helping those who are just beginning in their path to a Beckian existence and understanding. It is only by pursuing such ends (those of the Bekkah), that we may all bask in the cosmic rush, the immense radiance, the celestial glow, the vast space of brilliant warmth that we can begin to grow, to meet our full potential as human beings, to cast away all that has ever come before and live a pure life of devotion to pop star fanaticism, idolatry, and general fervor for the corporate invasion, plundering, and saturation of our minds, spirits, intellects, and noggins. I can answer your questions, for I am a true believer and make tapes that spread the sound, words, sonic profusion, oral emanations, and lyrical mischievery of the messiah, savior, redeemer, rescuer, and lord, only and only, seen and seen and seen.
