Is that Bush Sr. in Beck's "Loser?"
It sounds like him to me. You know the guy who says "I'm a driver, I'm a winner. Things are gonna change. I can feel it.?"

1. I think it's Dustin Hoffman from "Rain Man."

3. I'm serious.
I'm pretty sure it's him, because throughout the movie, he says, "I'm an excellent driver" and similar things in that voice.

5. I read somewhere it's a line from a film called "Kill the Moonlight"
a film about a loser that inspired the song. :shrug:

6. That would be correct.
The sample of "I'm a driver. I'm a winner. Things are gonna change soon, I can feel it." is from the film "Kill the Moonlight." Beck is on the soundtrack, and the director Steve Hanft is an old friend of Beck's. He in turn directed the video for "Loser."
