Here's the story: The phrase Beck is shouting throughout the song is "He my nun!" Apparently, the band heard it on an Ice Cube record, and when Beck broke it out one day, it made them all laugh. It caught on. As Beck tells it, "We were listening to an Ice Cube song on the bus and he's always going 'HEEMAHNUNNN!!!!' We thought he was saying, 'He's my nun.' So on 'Hollywood Freaks,' I start the song with 'HEE-MAH-NUNNN' and you can hear a couple of the guys in the background busting up."

I love this song and know every word! I've been trying to teach my friend the lyrics, but she's having some trouble. (:
It's "HEMAHNUUNNN!"
