 Garbage incorporated a sample of the drumline from Australian band Single Gun Theory 's track " Man of Straw " on " Queer " ; this loop was layered with an additional drum part performed by Madison percussionist Clyde Stubblefield , who was known for being the most sampled drummer in history for his uncredited part on James Brown 's " Funky Drummer " . Vig opted to hire Stubblefield to play on the record rather than sample him as " you don 't use a sample when the genius who played the sample lives down the street from you " , and the drummer also contributed to album cut " Not My Idea " . Bass guitar parts were completed by Milwaukee session bassist Mike Kashou . The band wanted to sample a clarinet part from a Frank Sinatra record , but the licensing for the sample would have been prohibitively expensive . <unk> over some options , such as having a session musician interpolate the part themselves still led to having to pay a large royalties . The idea was dropped . The band still liked the idea of using a clarinet , and recorded a part by Les <unk> on the final mix .
