Music
The intro and verse beat for "Nookie" is a 1 bar sample (starting at 1'05) from the song "You're Getting a Little Too Smart" by early 1970s R&B act The Detroit Emeralds. It however does not appear on the song credits. Guitarist Wes Borland used a custom built baritone guitar with only four strings: tuned nearly an octave downward from standard tuning, the string's pitches were F#, F#, B and E. For the lowest F# string (which is one octave lower than the higher F# tuned string), Borland made this string a bass guitar string. Borland also plays this particular guitar in the music video for the song.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives its most distinctive character.”
—James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
“Did the kiss of Mother Mary
Put that music in her face?
Yet she goes with footstep wary,
Full of earth’s old timid grace.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
List to the heavy part the music bears,
“Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
Droop herbs and flowers;
Fall grief in showers;
“Our beauties are not ours”:
Oh, I could still,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
Drop, drop, drop, drop,
Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
