Shot in 1998 using a black & white surveillance camera and a Video Toaster for the Amiga2000. Starring Eric Fullerton, Rico Rodriguez & John Yang. This video was transferred from VHS.
I remember buying this cd in a used record store in 98 or 99! When I heard this I was blownaway by beck the last part especially I was like fuckin A badass sampling!
This album takes me back to good memories, I was 15 years old and took a road trip with my best friend and his parents driving to the Rocky Mountains (Pikes peak Colorado). I had an old CD player I bought from a pot head in high school that needed weed money. Hooked it up via y-connector for two pairs of headphones. When radio shack was a thing. GOOD TIMES🤟
I remember when Beck came out with this album, I saw the futurama episode before hearing his music, but I was not as we'll traversed in music, when Odelay came out and my older brother was boy band crazy and So-Cal punk crazy (offspring, afi, pennywise, nofxs, blink and etc). So I never took the time to listen to a full album of his... At first it was so jarring, that I didnt know how to take it, when my Cousin introduced me to him, of course I heard "I'm a loser baby, so why dont you kill me" but that was it from Beck. Now at 26, i kick myself in the pants for not knowing about this album and It's magic... after the impact of Beck, whats left is a open mind ... its weird. Love this album and its so hard to pick a favorite from this album.... this one is in the top 3 for sure though!
Nobody here familiar with the fact that former 80’s child star, Rossie Harris voiced the Wizard of Rhythm? For anybody who doesn’t know who that is, that was the little ginger boy in 1980’s, “Airplane!”

You got the Spanish parts wrong. “Yo soy un disco quebrado” “Yo tengo chicle en mi cerebro” Translates to:”I am a broken record” “I have gum in my brain” Such strange lyrics...
Genuinely, if the editing was slightly snappier you could've told me this was the official video and I'd believe it. It matches the vibe of Beck's early work so well.
It's So awesome you starred in this video! You guys look like you had a blast. I've been a Beck fan since "One Foot In the Grave" and "Mellow Gold"...and I've never seen this video. Thanks for uploading this! Cheers!
i almost thought this was an actual video by him of this song- that being said good jobi didn't turn it off- my favorite beck song- i have no idea what he's talking about but that doesn't matter
The rappers/beat writers these days should take some notes from beck. Literally and figuratively. They write trash beats with degenerate lyrics and this generation swoons.
The most underrated beck song in all existence.
All of his songs are underrated IMO.
Who are you!?
Totally agree so underrated! It's in my top 3 favorite Beck songs.
Uhh that’s dreams
Underrated because it's not good.
odelay, best album ever, saw beck live last night here in melbourne, australia, been a fan for over 25 years, finally got to see the man live
he came here to tell us about the rhythms of the universe
He did....and it was GOOD
Such a perfect song, free of pretention, just brimful of ideas.
I like their groove. You can clearly tell this isn't Beck's video, but this is some fun content to watch. It resonates with me.
It’s certainly in a similar fashion to the videos from mellow gold.
This might as well be the official video. Awesome
is this not the official music video??
"karaoke weekend at the suicide shack"
- phrase has so much bounce, absolutely love it.
To this day, one of my all time favorites, such an original artists with so many different ideas...
I remember buying this cd in a used record store in 98 or 99! When I heard this I was blownaway by beck the last part especially I was like fuckin A badass sampling!
Haha! Me too, a used record store. They sold new stuff too. I traded all my Metallica cds for it.
This album takes me back to good memories, I was 15 years old and took a road trip with my best friend and his parents driving to the Rocky Mountains (Pikes peak Colorado). I had an old CD player I bought from a pot head in high school that needed weed money. Hooked it up via y-connector for two pairs of headphones. When radio shack was a thing. GOOD TIMES🤟

Yo soy un disco quebrado, yo tengo chicle en el cerebro
beck is a musical genius
3:17 is how you know this is another one of those Beck songs that ends really creepy.
that ending is one of the best things in the world. when i heard it as a little kid i thought it was a seperate song
beck at his most free, the ideas coming out during those dust brothers sessions were out of this world
Best lyrics of any song
Boss Blitz lol yeah 😂😂😂😂
This is amazing. I love it.

whoa
i love this song
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It takes a backwash man to sing a backwash song
Like a frying pan when the fire's gone
Driving my pig while the band's taking pictures in the grass
And my radio smashed
And I like pianos in the evening sun
Dragging my heels 'til my day is done
Saturday night in the captain's clothes
Tin horns blowing with my jewelry froze
[Chorus]
Yo soy un disco quebrado
Yo tengo chicle en el cerebro
[Verse 2]
I can't believe my way back when
My Cadillac pants growing much too fast
Karaoke weekend at the suicide shack
Community service and I'm still the mack
Shocked my finger, spots on my hand
I been spreading disease all across the land
Beautiful air-conditioned
Sitting in the kitchen
Wishing I was living like a hitman
Face down in the guarantees
Jaundiced honchos getting busy with me
Because I get down, I get down
I get down all the way
[Chorus]
Yo soy un disco quebrado
Yo tengo chicle en el cerebro
[Verse 3]
Sawdust songs of the plaid bartenders
Western Unions of the country westerns
Silverfoxes looking for romance
In the chain-smoke Kansas flashdance ass pants
And you got the hotwax residues
You never lose in your razorblade shoes
Stealing pesos out of my brain
Hazard signs down the Alamo lanes
Radar systems piercing the souls
You never get caught with the wax so rotten
All my days I got the grizzly words
Hijacked flavors that I'm flipping like birds
[Chorus]
Yo soy un disco quebrado
Yo tengo chicle en el cerebro
[Outro]
Who are you?
I'm the enchanting wizard of rhythm
Why did you come here?
I came here to tell you about the rhythms of the universe
3:12 that transition. It's perfect
It takes a backwash man to sing a backwash song
Like a frying pan when the fire's gone
Driving my pig while the bear's taking pictures in the grass
In my radio smashed
And I like pianos in the evening sun
Dragging my heals 'til my day is done
Saturday night in the Captain's clothes
Tin horns blowing with my jury 'phros
Yo soy un disco cabrado
Yo tengo chicle en cerabo
I can't believe my way back when
My Cadillac pants going much to fast
Karaoke weekend at the suicide shack
Community service and I'm still the mack
Shocked my finger spicing my hand
I been spreading disease all across the land
Beautiful air-conditioned sitting in the kitchen
Wishing I was living like a hit man
Face down in the guarantees
Jaundiced marshal's getting busy with ease
Because I get down I get down
I get down all the way
Yo soy un disco cabrado
Yo tengo chicle en cerabo
Sawdust songs of the plaid bartenders
Western Unions of the country westerns
Silver foxes looking for romance
In the chain smoke Kansas flash dance ass pants
And you got the hot wax residues
You never lose in your razor blade shoes
Stealing pesos out of my brain
Hazard signs down the Alamo lanes
Radar systems using the souls
You never get caught with the wax so rotten
All my days I got the grizzly worms
Hijacked flavors that I'm flipping like birds
Yo soy un disco cabrado
Yo tengo chicle en cerabo
Who are you
I'm the enchanting wizard of rhythm
Why did you come here?
I came here to tell you about the rhythms of the universe
"Yo tengo chicle en cerabo" no, "EN EL CEREBRO" :)
You got the Spanish parts wrong.
“Yo soy un disco quebrado”
“Yo tengo chicle en mi cerebro”
Translates to:”I am a broken record”
“I have gum in my brain”
Such strange lyrics...
Beautiful air-condition, sittin' in the kitchen wishin' I was livin' like a hitman.
I need an album that sounds like the outro of this track.
dude yes, if anyone has any music that sounds like that please let me know!
Mr. Ashely Bickerton by Gray is similar to the outro
dj shadow - endtroducing
Oh man this song is just amazing
Genuinely, if the editing was slightly snappier you could've told me this was the official video and I'd believe it. It matches the vibe of Beck's early work so well.
This is beautiful! Congratulations gentlemen.
this is funky. i love it
It's So awesome you starred in this video! You guys look like you had a blast. I've been a Beck fan since "One Foot In the Grave" and "Mellow Gold"...and I've never seen this video. Thanks for uploading this! Cheers!
Jennifer Rider they made it, it’s not official
I can tell this was transferred from vhs. That is a compliment
Dude, I've definitely heard this before! Sounds like Fun Lovin' Criminals!
Beck would be proud of yall
I really love how Beck's songs make no sense (or kind of sound like they don't), but sound fucking awesome.
Mutations started to flip the nonsense mode
hey that "enchanting wizard of rhythm" segment also appears in a Peuple de l'Herbe song.
A great track.
Love the videography ! and beck too!
i almost thought this was an actual video by him of this song- that being said good jobi didn't turn it off- my favorite beck song- i have no idea what he's talking about but that doesn't matter
Great tune, brilliant video!
the video is perfect for a Beck song
this made me so happy.
this is a great song, beautiful and made well. even my water loves this :) just got into beck omg sry im late wold
Love this, Beck's the best!
"Wishin' I was livin' with a hit-man". LOL
the rhythms of the universe
Amiga 2000 represent!
Community service and I'm still the Mack.
Are these drums sampled from the outro of "Behind the Wall of Sleep" off the first Black Sabbath album?
Yep they are, My favourite drum rhythm of all time
What a tune
Excellent info man = D thanks
Fantastic
I love it.
I keep playing this, novacane, and earthquake weather at work, people ask who it is, I wont tell them. They need to discover it on their own.
Why is Beck so cool? The answer, Grasshopper, is Kung-Fu.
Go hard Pedro.
#777Tewa, is with you.
yo soy un discc cabrado yo tengo chicle en cerado.= I am a broken record I have chewing gum in my brain.
ReisterJP yo soy un disco quebrado, yo tengo un chicle en mi cerebro
Yo soy un disco quebrado
Yo tengo chicle en el cerebro
I highly recommend Becks 2006s The Information album
Wanting to explore the Universes...

Regular show at 0:55
Ah....I get it, now!
I have bubblegum in my brain
coool
flash dance ASS PANTS
remember the alamo
Who are you?
Wizard of rhtym
It sucks to think that the Church of Scientology may have impacted my positive feelings towards Beck.
he's not a scientologist, his father was, he grew up around it, he isnt involved (atleast not currently)
I knew it! You were born Asian!
The rappers/beat writers these days should take some notes from beck. Literally and figuratively. They write trash beats with degenerate lyrics and this generation swoons.
white guy in the video spoils it :-(
he brings in diversity and you can only complain. you people are crazy.
Oh boy, more liberal complaints/hypocrisies.
Archibald Ballantine I like your name Archibald meatpants
Yeah I like the pink one and your dome
This is a flopping down the street on a sunny day song for me...
Stoned of course..
This might as well be the official video. Awesome
