''Guero'' is the sixth official album[[note]]among much "unofficial" stuff[[/note]] by AlternativeIndie SingerSongwriter Music/{{Beck}}, released in 2005 through Creator/InterscopeRecords. Less a NewSoundAlbum than an ambitious blend of things he had done before, it mixes the anything goes HipHop experimentation of ''Odelay'' with the Brazilian/tropical influences of ''Mutations'', with a little of the low-key balladry of ''Sea Change''. ''Guero'' is Beck's highest-charting album in the US, opening at #2 on the Billboard chart.

* CoolCar: Parodied in the "Girl" music video. The first time the scene does a fold-in, two toy cars have their front and back halves, respectively, removed to fuse into a single car that's half-blue and half-yellow. Beck proceeds to drive a full-sized version of that car for the rest of the video, until he parks illegally and it gets towed right before the end.
