The Song:
In order for it to be more authentic, Beck filled out his Song Reader book with fragments of songs and melodies, as well as fictional album collections and song titles. On the back of "Saint Dude," there are a number albums listed, including the most sensational collection of songs, Prison And Mountain Songs (For Boys). "Who Cares?" is listed as part of that.
Many, if not most, of the songs on the back of "Saint Dude" are references to older sheet music songs. "Who Cares?" is certainly one of those, as there are numerous songs with this name from the early 1900s.
