- El Oso (a literal translation of the Spanish for 'The Bear'), released in 1998 is the third and final album by the New York City band Soul Coughing. The disc is marked by a deep drum and bass influence--before starting work on the album, the band toured with Full Cycle DJs Krust and Die (in fact, their band with Roni Size, Reprazent, won the Mercury Prize in 1997 and thus put the kibosh on a notion to have them produce)--and by a scattershot approach to production: Tchad Blake Pat Dillett, and British drum and bass DJ Optical Artist Jim Woodring (Frank) drew the cartoon "monkey-bear" on the disc's cover. The chorus of the song "$300" is a sample of a Chris Rock joke; singer Mike Doughty heard the joke on Rock's Roll With the New. Curious, Doughty recorded it into his ASR-10 sampler with the intention of simply reversing it and seeing what the joke was, and wrote the song around what he found there. The song was used in the House episode "The Softer Side" in 2009. Some consider El Oso to be a marked deviation from their previous albums, Ruby Vroom and Irresistible Bliss, particularly in its departure from jazz and continuation of the melodicism of Bliss in an overall darker mood. The disc yielded Soul Coughing's biggest hit single, "Circles. " Tchad Blake, who produced the tune, hated it, and told them it would be a mistake to release it. Cartoon Network gave it a music video in which Hannah-Barberra toons walked along looped backgrounds as part of the Cartoon Network Groovies. Made #1 on KTUH's charts on the week of January 25, 1999.
