Song information

"Carrots" consists of two sections: "Good Girl" and "Carrots". "Good Girl" lasts for the first four and a half minutes, and then segues into "Carrots", which itself consists of two separate sections, the last one starting at the eight minute mark. The first section contains a sample of "Radio Calcutta #2" from theSublime Frequenciesalbum "Radio India: The Eternal Dream Of Sound". The second part contains samples of "Enter the Dragon" byLee "Scratch" Perryand "Someday" byKylie Minogue,and the last section of the song contains a sample taken fromKraftwerk's song "Ananas Symphonie" ( "Pineapple Symphony" ) from their 1973 albumRalf und Florian.The interplay between the song's three movements illustrates a statement made by Panda in an interview onMa Famaradio, in which he discussed the idea of performing songs the way a DJ would play records, blending samples that have differentBPMwhich would result in discordantpolyrhythms.

Excepter's side contains fragments of two live versions of "Knock Knock", whose lyrics are inspired by the traditional folk song illustrated on the sleeve, "King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki Me O".
