The Song:
In order for it to feel more authentic, Beck filled out his Song Reader book with fragments of songs and melodies, as well as fictional album collections and song titles. The back of "Saint Dude" lists five such albums, and "Sentimental Gentlemen" is part of the The Manly Family Song Album, and is copyrighted.
Many of the titles on the back of "Saint Dude" are references to older songs, and while I didn't see any in particular called "Sentimental Gentlemen" myself, I did see a few that referenced a "Sentimental Gentleman" (as in the image above).
