I did not appreciate Beck's subversive sound and videos as a child but I do now. This guy was taking the fork in the road in the 90s and I respect him for it. The music is timeless.
My wife said she was going to leave me if I didn't stop listening to this song. Long story short, she got the house, car and custody of the kid. But I got two turntables and a microphone, so it's all good.
@@singthebluesifiwant_4848 - He put on a really great show with fantastic production, lights, sound, and a top-notch band. He was super engaging with the audience, too, which was a nice surprise to me. Enjoy the concert!
@@singthebluesifiwant_4848 - Cage also played at the Beck concert I saw (third time for me seeing Cage). They are one of the best bands to see live, hands down. Matt Schultz is a Jaggeresque genius of a frontman -- right up there with the best ever. I love both artists.
Beck is one of the most talented musicians. Ever. He goes into every corner, dusts things off, and brings them out into the light and re-introduces us to sounds, sights and motions we forgot about for awhile. He’s a great, great musician but also a great music historian and visual artist. Long may he reign.
@Trippie Chris Man I was so broke back then. No, wouldn't go back. Want to live like that? Go low information (quit watching the news) and low tech (no smart phone, no internet, no social media, buy magazines). Buy a watch. Only shop the local stores. You'll be the Amish living among the modern folks. Not a bad life though. The 1980s and 1990s were good to me after high school. High school sucked.
Free trade was removing opportunities and the internet had not yet replaced them. Gen X got screwed up but no one cared as I watched myself and everyone around me fall through the cracks of low and no and under employment. And worse. The prevailing musical talent tended to die.
More than 20 years later, I still laugh a lot with the guy with the oranges appearing from out of nothing! Beck's videoclips are deliciously crazy, as well as his songs. Love this guy!
He also the guy on the roof ,in "LOSER"!!! Already thought he was weird back then,with his guitar and mirrored sunglasses!! Thats when i said to myself:"Whats next, ..Oranges or something??!" And there you go...It's f#ckin insanity,sir!!☝️🥸
This would play all the time on MTV after school when I was in 6th grade. Couldn't wait to become an adult, but now I'd give anything to go back. The world is a fucked up place and I've lost too many family members over the years.
This song will always have a special place in my heart and ears. In 1997 I volunteered at my local college radio station, this was always the first song I'd play every shift. Being a small and falling apart station we were equipped with, you guessed it, two turntables and a microphone. And a CD player, but that's irrelevant to the story 😁
@@patrickhayes3099 KTEQ, back before the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology got changed to "South Dakota Mines". I'm not bitter about the change 😂 The channel was down for a while due to somehow forgetting to renew with the FCC for years, but they're back and online as well now.
If We had a time machine .....what and where would you go back to? I'm 42 from Dandridge TN.....I'd go back to 2001. Last time saw my dad..........but I lost my baby brother. Life lesson.......Memories
I remember seeing the music video on MTV in 1996 when I was a 10-year old kid,I'm now 35 and looking at it again after many years puts a smile on my face!
Thats definitely not an organ dude, its a wurlitser 200a ! Like the one supertramp and so many other artists use. Probably the most common keyboard sound
Gigan For President Well, my friend said "You heard of Beck? He just won a music award." I was like "Is this the same Beck from the 90's?" And he's like "No, this is a recent artist"
I cannot believe this shit is almost 20 years old. When I hear that intro to this day, I can't think of anything but the hot summer days of the mid/late-90s. My biggest worry at the time was if I was going to get an N64 for my birthday. Fuck getting old.
jero han Totally, and some thief stole the drum sound from someone who had a cool sound that he made. he called it drums, but that dude twisted the sound from some caveman making a repetitive sound with fists hitting some hollow piece of wood, but he stole it from the trees that were dripping water off their leaves onto a rock that he was laying on, the sound mixed with the crickets who awakened after the storm had passed, and he said EUREKA or grunted because he discovered rhythm. Then recreated this rhythm and made music!!! What was that guy's name, Adam or something, iono, f it, blame the sun.
I'll never forget the looks on all the faces at the 2014 Grammys when he beat out Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Pharrell for Album of the Year. 'Stunned' is an understatement. 😅😅😅
@@charleebrown7188 Haha I remember tweeting (before I deactivated my account) something like that Beck is when you cross indie folk with alt hip hop, country, lofi, garage rock, two turn tables & a microphone
I love the juxtaposition of the happy, beautiful couple in the field with Beck screaming over that. And then the scene with the three Becks talking over each other, including a drunk Beck? Brilliant. The leftmost line dancers at 2:55 are really where it's at!
Still remember watching this on Pop-Up Video in the 90s. He won a Grammy for this as well for Best Male Vocal. The following year he was SPIN Magazine's artist of the year. You know, back when pop music wasn't shyte. Sorry to hear all of the people hating on him are so out of touch.
true story, beck deserved it. Everyone always wants the poo star or the more famous name to win...but if you actually listened to the albums of all the artists. Beck was the best. I'm glad the Grammy's aren't the VMAs... Daft punk, arcade fire would never win album of the year at the VMAs. Kanye storming the stage was a joke. Look, Beyonce has accomplished a lot. Beck has been a solo act for the better part of three decades and writes all his stuff...Beyonce has needed 4 vocalists, countless songwriters and a marriage to one of the greatest rappers ever to enjoy moderate success. I'll take beck any day, thank you.
daft punk & arcade fire put out very non-VMA albums. random access memories was an old school dance and funk record, and arcade fire put out a folky indie rock record not unlike morning phase. there were better records you could've picked to make ur point
jamalgwapoderrick I said that daft punk and arcade fire would NEVER win VMA album of the year. So yes, I did choose artists to make my point. They would only be accepted at an actual musical award show like the Grammy's. Loved that funk album by daft punk, trust me...I love funk...thought it deserved to win. Im saying it ridiculous how a VMA guy like kanye disses an actual artist like beck. Kanye was ranting about Beyonce making the best music videos last night. Its about music, not videos.
One of the best times of my life! Seeing Beck live and watching my daughter light up, singing, screaming the lyrics,on time! BECK is one of a zillion gifted, hard working, true musicians I've ever seen, live!
Just be glad we got to grow up with great bands and musicians like this and Weezer, the toadies, pearl jam, oasis, nirvana etc etc...instead of the crap "music" that is out today
This was a hit when I graduated high school over 20 years ago. My son is going to cross that hallowed threshold in a few years...cannot help but think he and his friends would be just as in love with it as I was back then, if it were to be released in 2021.
My brother and I are 10 years apart. I still play this from time to time to let him know the influence was real and understood. Quality in timeless music
"That was a good drum break....." As with everything Beck there are always open ends and zero relevancy. It's actually therapeutic for me because I feel like I'm flushing all the junk out of my brain and it's void of thought (and refreshed) at the end of each of his videos. I always laughed at the segment of Beck looking befuddled during the middle hook where his two alter egos morph out of him. He looks genuinely perplexed with this 'what was I doing here?' expression.
'90s Beck was some of the most funky, fun music. The man went everywhere... rock, psych, hip hop, country, disco, pop, lo-fi, electronic, folk, funk, you name it.
Gen X? If you grew up in the nineties, you're Gen Y. I was born in '86, I'm Gen Y and I grew up in the nineties. Gen X ended in like 1980. Gen Y is early 80's to late 90's. I suppose you can be a nineties kid and be a Gen X'er if you were born right on the cusp (early 80's). I just normally consider nineties kids to be Gen Y. Gen X'ers grew up in the 70's and 80's.
This song came out in 1996. I was ten years old and it became my first favorite song I clearly remember on the radio. Then my parents got me Odelay for Christmas, and I will never forget it, it was such a defining CD of my life. I wish times were still simple like this.
I can't believe I've never heard of Beck until after he released Morning Phase, and he's been around longer than I've been alive! (I'm 19). What Kanye did at the Grammys certainly wasn't right, and trust me, I'm a HUGE Kanye stan, but I'll go as far as to say that what he said about art wasn't true. Beck certainly deserved that award for the amount of work he puts into his albums. One guy doing virtually everything. Production, instrumentation, songwriting, mixing, everything. And I love Beyonce as well, but she has tons of songwriters, tons of producers, back-up singers, the works. That doesn't make her any less of a great artist, nor does it make Kanye any less of a great artist. He's a very decent MC, and an INCREDIBLE producer. He's just very opinionated, for better or worse.
I remember when I saw this video on VH1 for the 1st time when It came out, I was totally blown away, the lyrics, the little samples here and there, the guy with the oranges for eyes lol. ODELAY is a masterpiece for reals!!!
@ 1:20 is one of the finest musical equivalents to a Family Guy cutaway gag. I remember when this first came on MTV and I'm glad to see who continues to discover and appreciate it in the years since. The crispy feedback noise and sonic collage all add to the eclecticism!
I was 11 going on 12 when "Loser" came out and it was the first song I discovered lyrically "in tune" w/my "outside-the-box" brain & my going on 35yr strong rhyming obsession. More specifically the "rhyming of words that don't typically have any business even being in the same sentence together; let alone making up song lyrics meant to speak to people...🫠😬😆🤷 Tl;Dr: Beck Rules and to this day is prob the only artist I have ever been able to relate to from a "I'm nuts too” standpoint. Now, go shave your face with some mace in the dark.

just saw him, real as can be
he's not!! he is an A.I. object created by scientologist madman tom cruise!! with help from john Travolta!!

Beck is the 🐐
I sure am, but my daughter hates the "beeping" noise in this song as she says lol. I say oh well, this is mom's jam, sorry!😂

I miss Beck being mainstream man, he was just a different vibing type of dude.
When MTV still played music videos.
never liked him when he first came out...until I really really listened to his whole albums. dude is a musical genius.
This is the best album EVER! The whole album makes me want to groove in my car on a long road trip. 90's girl FOREVER!!!
YYYEEEESSSS!! 👍👌😎
Me as an adult before work in the morning:
🎵 WHERE IT'S AT! 🎵
🎵 I GOT 2 ADVILS AND A TYLENOOOOOL! 🎵
That sound like you got some liver problems as well
lol
😂
LMAO!!!!!!!
Hahahahaha
Beck recorded some of the best music ever during the '90's.
This song is no exception!
I sure did
This was a hit when I graduated high school over 20 years ago. My son is going to cross that hallowed threshold in a few years...cannot help but think he and his friends would be just as in love with it as I was back then, if it were to be released in 2021.
nah
Yuuuup he would beck is a genius!!!!
My brother and I are 10 years apart. I still play this from time to time to let him know the influence was real and understood. Quality in timeless music
"That was a good drum break....." As with everything Beck there are always open ends and zero relevancy. It's actually therapeutic for me because I feel like I'm flushing all the junk out of my brain and it's void of thought (and refreshed) at the end of each of his videos.
I always laughed at the segment of Beck looking befuddled during the middle hook where his two alter egos morph out of him. He looks genuinely perplexed with this 'what was I doing here?' expression.
BECK is the Quentin Tarantino of musicians!!
This song starts and I'm like....COWBOY BEBOP
I thought I was the only to think that! 😂
Yessss! I've always thought this too!!!
Tank?
DNA
The Seatbelts rock
'90s Beck was some of the most funky, fun music. The man went everywhere... rock, psych, hip hop, country, disco, pop, lo-fi, electronic, folk, funk, you name it.
Yes! He is one of the best!😃 He
Dude wen't mainstream and never sold out. True artist.
So true
Sho nuuuuf. aaawwwwwww yeah. my goodness!
Even a little bit od grunge (for example Loser) ;]
If you're asking yourself "Who is Beck?" You're not a 90s kid, and need to stop saying you are. #GenerationXProblems #GenXProblems
Serious question: I was born in 2000, but grew up with artists like Beck, what do I count as?
Fibbin
you're a millennial with good taste.
I was born in 1985, so I was a kid/teen for the entirety of the '90s. And yes, I know Beck's music due to this. ;)
XDominiqueXFranconX
Nice Ayn Rand reference there. How's Howard?
Gen X? If you grew up in the nineties, you're Gen Y. I was born in '86, I'm Gen Y and I grew up in the nineties. Gen X ended in like 1980. Gen Y is early 80's to late 90's. I suppose you can be a nineties kid and be a Gen X'er if you were born right on the cusp (early 80's). I just normally consider nineties kids to be Gen Y. Gen X'ers grew up in the 70's and 80's.
This song came out in 1996. I was ten years old and it became my first favorite song I clearly remember on the radio. Then my parents got me Odelay for Christmas, and I will never forget it, it was such a defining CD of my life. I wish times were still simple like this.
hope u picked up mellow gold along the way.
@@imjoeimjoe i didn't until later in life, great album 👌
Why do half of Becks sounds sound like they belong in Napoleon Dynamite
I LIKE THAT COME BACK ...OH YEAH BRO HERE WE GO....WHERE IT'S AT....Mr REZNORE
Harrison Rogers hdhsk f
Harrison Rogers I thought the exact same thing lol
Harrison Rogers …You're not wrong.
Harrison Rogers considering this album was pre Napoleon dynamite....
I can't believe I've never heard of Beck until after he released Morning Phase, and he's been around longer than I've been alive! (I'm 19). What Kanye did at the Grammys certainly wasn't right, and trust me, I'm a HUGE Kanye stan, but I'll go as far as to say that what he said about art wasn't true. Beck certainly deserved that award for the amount of work he puts into his albums. One guy doing virtually everything. Production, instrumentation, songwriting, mixing, everything. And I love Beyonce as well, but she has tons of songwriters, tons of producers, back-up singers, the works. That doesn't make her any less of a great artist, nor does it make Kanye any less of a great artist. He's a very decent MC, and an INCREDIBLE producer. He's just very opinionated, for better or worse.
Producer: So what samples do you want to use??
Beck: Yes
Yep. That whole album is chock full of them. His live bands did a great job pulling it off. Have to give them credit.
hahahaha yes!!
My favorite Beck Song of all time!!! I was introduced to this one by him
1:55 is *the actual sound* of the mid to late-90s.
Lol. Yes
Because it came out in like 1998 beck was huge then and early 2k I was in h.s. then
Producer: "Okay, Beck, what genre do you want this song to be?" Beck: "Yes."
Goosebumps everytime I hear the intro beat. Thankyou Futurama for showing me the way
I remember when I saw this video on VH1 for the 1st time when It came out, I was totally blown away, the lyrics, the little samples here and there, the guy with the oranges for eyes lol. ODELAY is a masterpiece for reals!!!
This is the perfect music video
that was a good drum break
Beck is a God
@ 1:20 is one of the finest musical equivalents to a Family Guy cutaway gag. I remember when this first came on MTV and I'm glad to see who continues to discover and appreciate it in the years since. The crispy feedback noise and sonic collage all add to the eclecticism!
That was a good drum break.
This is where you can hear a hybrid of 60s to 70s music and present day music all rolled up into one tight package
Beck is a genius.
age 14 summer of 1996, bought the tape of odelay and my life has been pretty much fine ever since
Same here 1-31-82
I was 11 going on 12 when "Loser" came out and it was the first song I discovered lyrically "in tune" w/my "outside-the-box" brain & my going on 35yr strong rhyming obsession. More specifically the "rhyming of words that don't typically have any business even being in the same sentence together; let alone making up song lyrics meant to speak to people...🫠😬😆🤷
Tl;Dr: Beck Rules and to this day is prob the only artist I have ever been able to relate to from a "I'm nuts too” standpoint. Now, go shave your face with some mace in the dark.
2019 and who is still rocking two turntables and a microphone?
Beck could rock two bin lids and a.hair brush he's that cool.
Alienhead Jesusjuice, I can see your taste in films is every bit as hip as it is in music. I dig it.
This GUY!!!
LOL that's funny
Every time we hear this song, my husband says, “a tube top, turtle and a microwave..” memories 😂
Just spat my tea reading that 😂
Beck is a genius and was far ahead of his time. Wow. This got me reminiscing
Ray Manzarek would definitely approve!
Beck....
The hero we deserve!!!!!
