Garbage - Push It

"Push It" was written and recorded at Smart Studios during the 1997 sessions for Version 2.0. released in 1998. It became a worldwide hit in the spring of 1998, preceding the long awaited second album from the group. Its success was in no doubt helped by being accompanied by one of the darkest, original and one of the most award-nominated video clips of that year. This track is a dark, schizophrenic track with an industrial techno edge, "Push It" delved into the psyches of two frustrated lovers trying to sort themselves out.

This song contains an interpolation of 60's Californian band the Beach Boys "Don't Worry Baby" and 1990s act Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It".

They originally sampled the actual Beach Boys vocal track, but it wouldn't work with the song, so Shirley re-sung the lyric. After debating whether to keep the line, they sent a tape to Brian Wilson, who gave them permission to use the sample, and also said he liked the song and asked if he could keep the tape.
