"Mixed Bizness" is a song by American musician Beck. It was released as the second single from his 1999 album Midnite Vultures . Released in 2000, the CD single included five non-album tracks/remixes. It peaked at number 34 in the UK Singles Chart. The song was featured in an episode of Malcolm in the Middle and American Dad . The primary drum beat heard throughout the track is a sample from “Honky Tonk Women” by The Rolling Stones. [2]
Some of the song's lyrics had been ad-libed by Beck in concert before the song's release. For an example, on January 3, 1998, during the beginning of a performance of "Where It's At", Beck shouted "I'm talking about mixing business!". [3]
In contrast to most other music, the lyrics in the song are more about the very feminine side of sexuality, with lyrics like "I'll be your mistress", "make all the lesbians scream," and "I'll comb your hair, rewrite your diary" showcasing this. [4]
The song has been performed over 300 times by Beck. It has been performed fairly regularly since its release, with the exception of 2010 to 2014, when Beck only played it once in 2011. [5]

Likewise, Red Hot + Rio 2 included collaborations of some of the Brazilian artists that pioneered the Tropicália movement along with international artists from various genres.
