From what I've read, this was originally written for a William Orbit solo album that never got completed. Someone involved with Charlie's Angels Full Throttle got a hold of the demo somehow and wanted it for the soundtrack, but Beck didn't want to appear on it himself, so with permission they wiped his vocals and guitar and got Pink to sing over the rest of the backing music.
Beck & William Orbit wrote it, but Beck had just released Sea Change so he didn't want to confuse his fans by having this out as a single while he's touring Sea Change, which is a completely different sound. They gave it to Pink instead.
That's funny that he didn't want to confuse us we're usually confused anyway i mean speaking for myself i woulda been into the confusion although a real beck fan woulda just been like hell yeah this track slaps instead of overthinking it
From the Beck megasite: whiskeyclone.net/ghost/songinfo.php?songID=652 _Sometime in 2001 or early 2002, William Orbit travelled to Los Angeles to work with Beck on a track for Orbit's upcoming album. MTV dotcom, in an article promoting Beck's Sea Change album, revealed a song called "Real Good" and contains "Latin fuzz guitar over percolating dance beats."_ _In one interview, Beck explained his collaboration with Orbit, "[Orbit] sent over a bunch of ideas he had, I picked one I liked, he came over and I wrote some lyrics, put some guitar on it. We had a couple of nice chats and his process is fairly similar to the way we recorded Odelay, using computers and I was able to improvise for an hour or two and then from that we took from that what the song was. So he's a builder, an arranger, a composer."_ _The song was originally intended for Orbit's solo album, which was moving at a slow pace. Then the Charlie's Angels people asked to use the song as a big single for the soundtrack. Coming after Beck's Sea Change, this would've been a somewhat awkward move, and Beck doesn't usually do big Hollywood soundtracks like that, so he declined. Orbit then went to work with Pink for the movie. She heard the song, and wanted to cover it. In the end, Beck said OK and now "Feel Good Time" as sung by Pink is the main single for the movie. (It's also on Pink's 2003 album, "Try This.")_ _It's the exact same track, just with Pink singing. Beck's vocals and wild guitar were removed. The main riff of "Feel Good Time" is from the 1968 song by Spirit "Fresh Garbage."_ th-cam.com/video/DaMoCenZrDI/w-d-xo.html Feel Good Time's writing credits are shared between Jay Ferguson from Spirit, Beck and William Orbit.
Completely unsurprised when I learned this was originally meant for Beck. I love P!nk, but this is definitely more of a Beck song than hers. He and William Orbit should work together again!
When this came out i was 14. Never heard of beck. But i knew i loved Pinks version of this song purely because of the melodies. A couple years later i hear Becks Epro on MTV's Gonzo, love it. Go online and torrent a whole beck discography. Best thing I ever did. Then I find this on youtube in 2014 and everthing clicks into place. Love it when shit like that happens.
Ah man, I wish this was officially released. What we have now sounds somewhat compressed or something (although that's just how it was made?). Still, a great song.
Although this is almost the same as P!NK's version it has a very Beck sound and kinda suits Beck more. As much as I like this I can't imagine this being anywhere near the commercial success P!NK's song was
@minoo. I agree that is correct. Must have not been paying attention when writing. "Taurus" was the song by "Spirit" that Led Zeppelin used in the intro for Stairway to Heaven.
I remember when the pink version came out, it was a "guilty" pleasure of mine. i didn't want to admit that i liked the song because it was pink but i remember thinking it had a "beck feel" that i liked. then i found out why i liked the song.
I'm a huge Beck fan and I think it's soooo awesome that he wrote this song I had no idea and always loved this song haha so wicked... but I have to admit that the chorus is easier to listen to in Pink's version because in this one it sounds too screamy lol
the fact that a lot of people don't know who beck is doesn't mean jack shit, and i don't know how much of beck's stuff you've actually listened to but whether or not he's a genius can't be decided by this song( which happens to be pretty damn good for a pop song, as is the case with every other genre this GENIUS has experimented with.)
I've always thought this was a Beck song. Other than being massively a Spirit song of course. But if you can make something around like it was yours all along then that's clever, not garbage.
this was originally written and recorded by beck and william orbit in about 2002-ish, it was never comercially released or at least i dont think. So, yes, it wasnt at comercially sucessful as pinks cover, but it is definately better and i dont think anyone should compare a genius like beck to a pop "sensation" like pink who you forget in 5 years.
The song was co-written by Beck, William Orbit and Jay Ferguson. Beck recorded it first, was originally meant for Orbit's album. But they were asked to give the song as soundtrack for Charlie's Angels. Beck declined and the song was passed on to Pink. Beck's version remained unreleased until it surfaced on the net.
it's not a cover. it's a demo. He wrote it and was originally gonna do it for the Charlie's Angel's soundtrack but he felt it would confuse his fans since it sounded different than what was on his upcoming album And since Pink had expressed interest in performing it on tour after hearing the demo, he offered pink to re-record the entire song.
Technically it’s not a cover, since Beck never released his version. This was just a leaked demo. He didn’t think he did the song justice so he gave it to Pink.
The Spirit song was the original recycling song. This turns the material into trivial .good time musis. for people who don't think. Sorry, folks! It's the truth!
This song was originally written by a band called Taurus and the song is called "Fresh Garbage", which was written in 1968. Beck and Pink copied off Taurus.
The band was Spirit! "Taurus" was the third cut on their dedut album and was plagiarized by Led Zeppelin on "Stairway to Heaven". "Fresh Garbage" was the openong track and guess what folks!!!
'this version' lol this is the same as the pink version. What did she do, take out hiss vocals and put in her own? I think that is called kareoke. This is a great track. Should have been a massive hit, eiher version.
Can't decide which version's better...Was cool to learn it was Beck's song though! I think these chorus vocals are way too distorted...but alas it's just a demo, right?
The distortion is fine; it's just too loud in the mix. The double vocal on the chorus is a hair too low. Of course, this could have been an intentional "mistake".
@Krasnoje - Clearly you don't comprehend English very well. Let me help you better understand the first comment. Many youtubers post comments saying that Beck was the artist behind writing the song "Feel Good Time". That is completely false. My comment and grubbj's comment point out the fact that the band "Spirit" actually wrote the song, not Beck. I never said that proper credit was never given by Beck. The problem is youtubers are not giving proper credit. Is that too simple for you?
They all stole this tune from Spirit - 01 - Fresh-Garbage (by EarpJohn) from the 1968 that is why it's a very good tune. Look it up and the other songs by them in the sixties and early seventies see if you can find a bad song. 1967-1973 great years for them. The original lineup of the group evolved from a Los Angeles band, the Red Roosters, which included Randy California (born Randy Craig Wolfe; guitars, vocals), Mark Andes (bass) and Jay Ferguson (vocals, percussion).
Yes, this is much more than just sampling. The Spirit material is the very core and substance of the recording. Come on, Beck! Give Spirit a break! Even if Jimmy Page won't. This will become common knowledge as millions of young audiophiles rediscover the musical pioneers such as Spirit. And it's all here on TH-cam!
Doesn't matter who wrote it, Beck's version isn't as good. I liked his stuff in Scott Pilgrim, but the chorus of this is just painful to listen to. P!nk can sing a lot better.
Some people may forget Pink in 5 years but I can guarantee you that there are plenty of people that are not even aware of Beck's existence. This garbage proves that Beck is NO genius. Sounds horrible.
Beck has ZERO sex. PINK oozes boy/girl sexuality. Ergo this song was better for PINK as a party anthem. Except it got all mixed up Charlie's Angels and never became what it could've. Maybe BECK thinks he's DAFT PUNK?
You can tell it's a Beck song when you listen to the lyrics

Beck wrote the song with Orbit.
Beck & William Orbit wrote it, but Beck had just released Sea Change so he didn't want to confuse his fans by having this out as a single while he's touring Sea Change, which is a completely different sound. They gave it to Pink instead.
What there's a version of this that pink sings?
That's funny that he didn't want to confuse us we're usually confused anyway i mean speaking for myself i woulda been into the confusion although a real beck fan woulda just been like hell yeah this track slaps instead of overthinking it
I love the song, doesn't matter who sung it I personally love both versions because I love Pink and Beck is an awesome song writer.
It definitely sounds like it fits with the rest of the tracks on Midnite Vultures.
Yeah, 100%
Utterly. I'm sure I heard this by Beck officially, way better the P!nk thing.
That little sound effect from 0:16 to 0:18 is a very Midnite Vultures like sound. It reminds me of Mixed Bizness I think.
Beck sampled a track from the band Spirit, from their self-titled album in 1972. He’s a MASTER.
It's the Spirit song "Fresh Garbage" he used.
I haven’t played it yet, but I was wondering how Jay Ferguson got a writer’s credit here - I’m a big fan of his, and I dig Beck (I LOVE Dreams)
@@Adulteducation8Ferguson wrote the spirit song FG - sampled so heavily that it requires a credit. Quite right too.

Wow. For years I could swear this was a Beck song, but couldn't find the proof. Mystery solved!
It does have becks sound all over it
Where has this been all my life
man william has put together some great tracks...
Completely unsurprised when I learned this was originally meant for Beck. I love P!nk, but this is definitely more of a Beck song than hers. He and William Orbit should work together again!

Love it when shit like that happens.
James Coleman same
This shit makes me happy. Feel good time basically
Coolest song ever!
Who doesn't love Fresh Garbage?
Impressive how much of Beck's original instrumentation was used for Pink's final version. This one feels better and indeed like an original.
love the dubbness in the background
wow. are you kidding me? Beck is a genius.
beck is my 3rd fav artist of all time and i dont care much for pink BUT pink owned this and made it her own
After parting all night, this song is the right choice, play as loud as possible without causing distortion
Wow esta canción se oye igual de buena con Beck como con Pink 😘😘😘😘
This is awesome, I can't believe someone dug this up.
Ah man, I wish this was officially released. What we have now sounds somewhat compressed or something (although that's just how it was made?). Still, a great song.
K-leb something
Holy crapola, someone PLEASE send this to me if you have it, I've been looking for this for years and it's driving me crazy!
I know this was ten years ago but i have 128kbps mp3s of the original individual tracks that make up the master. Get in touch if you want them.
Why hasnt this been officially released? Its so f*cking good
Beck is bad ass
My only problem with P!nk version are: No Beck guitar, I would love to look at the CD Single as: P!nk with Beck on lead guitar.
Finally a good version of "Feel Good Time".
Thanks for the upload!
Although this is almost the same as P!NK's version it has a very Beck sound and kinda suits Beck more. As much as I like this I can't imagine this being anywhere near the commercial success P!NK's song was

publicly badass
Holy cow! This version is so much better than Pink's! And I love Pink's version!
NICE!
I'm a huge Beck fan and I think it's soooo awesome that he wrote this song I had no idea and always loved this song haha so wicked... but I have to admit that the chorus is easier to listen to in Pink's version because in this one it sounds too screamy lol
holy its just a damn song who cares who sings, both P!nk, and Beck recorded the song so we can all enjoy the song.
ratio
well idk... Both Pink´s and Beck´s version are good.. but... lol idk I´ve always liked Beck better ^^ xD BECK ROCKS!
ORBIT!
Bek David, yes.
the fact that a lot of people don't know who beck is doesn't mean jack shit, and i don't know how much of beck's stuff you've actually listened to but whether or not he's a genius can't be decided by this song( which happens to be pretty damn good for a pop song, as is the case with every other genre this GENIUS has experimented with.)
Quality
haha oh youtubers - neither song is better its personal preference
as a huge beck fan i have always loved this version though
I've always thought this was a Beck song. Other than being massively a Spirit song of course. But if you can make something around like it was yours all along then that's clever, not garbage.
@zedpjammer Interesting...
I thought "Spirit" wrote and originally performed "Fresh Garbage"?
This is A side music. Not B side. I love it!
this was originally written and recorded by beck and william orbit in about 2002-ish, it was never comercially released or at least i dont think. So, yes, it wasnt at comercially sucessful as pinks cover, but it is definately better and i dont think anyone should compare a genius like beck to a pop "sensation" like pink who you forget in 5 years.
Public Service announcement - Look up 'Led Zeppelin 1969/01/05 - Whisky A Go Go' and go about 5 minutes in.
He should've released his demo but it's cool that he gave it to Pink, not a bad choice Beck!!
I live for rough vocals :') It's personal preference
pink really didnt make this song any different did she. beck is such a great song writer
Wow this a great cover by Beck!
The song was co-written by Beck, William Orbit and Jay Ferguson. Beck recorded it first, was originally meant for Orbit's album. But they were asked to give the song as soundtrack for Charlie's Angels. Beck declined and the song was passed on to Pink. Beck's version remained unreleased until it surfaced on the net.

This is his song P!nk covered it
this is the original
🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴!!!.
I had no idea that Pink's version was a cover. I like this version more.
Technically it’s not a cover, since Beck never released his version. This was just a leaked demo. He didn’t think he did the song justice so he gave it to Pink.
Chlobo vvv
I do! which is the origin
Was this the B-side to something? I had always figured this was an unreleased track.
This song is sampled from an old Spirit song. Great riff!
He DID lift the riff...But He paid them for it,,,He didnt steal it...like some many Artist do...
The Spirit song was the original recycling song. This turns the material into trivial .good time musis. for people who don't think. Sorry, folks! It's the truth!

Nope. Beck and William Orbit wrote it together, but decided to give the song to Pink.
is this some vultures track that didnt get put on?
can you send me an mp3 link of the song as well? it sounds incredible, about 10,000 times better than p!nk's version.
omg, can you send me the mp3 link to this song or something, please??? :D
'this version' lol this is the same as the pink version. What did she do, take out hiss vocals and put in her own? I think that is called kareoke. This is a great track. Should have been a massive hit, eiher version.
@colonelmunch och god that gave credit to sample this song.... it wasn't a copy
Best version of this? "The Upstairs Room - Untamed".
when did he record this???
Done esta la versión SmashUp de Beck Y P!nk !!! la necesito! Alguien que la haga! :D
Haha, that would be Beck. He often gets confused for a chick.
no way. beck's version has more layers. And it has some humour, which pink's version lacks.
Can't decide which version's better...Was cool to learn it was Beck's song though! I think these chorus vocals are way too distorted...but alas it's just a demo, right?
The distortion is fine; it's just too loud in the mix. The double vocal on the chorus is a hair too low. Of course, this could have been an intentional "mistake".
Never thought of it as a mistake...but I just think it's too loud. But maybe this was all just thrown together as a demo without too much thought.
lol some of becks music comes free with windows computers LMAO
someone must have a HQ mp3 of this somewhere.
Nasty as fuck yo
How interesting that Beck gave this song to Pink. Those rare lyrics sounded familiar. Pink made the song AMAZING and meaningful .
Beck and Daft Punk have completely different approaches to music.
@Krasnoje - Clearly you don't comprehend English very well. Let me help you better understand the first comment.

Zero sex?
Depends of who you talk to, doesn't it?
;)
No, the only real change was that the pitch was increased.
beck version > pinks version
well beck's version is the original, so i guess i'll always like beck's better. haha.
Sorry, I'm mistaken.
All of you bitching about who 'wrote' the song or beat? Be quiet. Just enjoy this great song.
I can't find this song anywhere. :(
And I mean Beck's version, not Pink's.
They all stole this tune from Spirit - 01 - Fresh-Garbage (by EarpJohn) from the 1968 that is why it's a very good tune.

The original lineup of the group evolved from a Los Angeles band, the Red Roosters, which included Randy California (born Randy Craig Wolfe; guitars, vocals), Mark Andes (bass) and Jay Ferguson (vocals, percussion).
that melody definitely is the same as "Fresh Garbage" by Spirit
Original song 'Fresh Garbage' that this song samples.. um, I mean.. rips off, is by the rock band Spirit.
Jon Gubbels boo hoo
Yes, this is much more than just sampling. The Spirit material is the very core and substance of the recording. Come on, Beck! Give Spirit a break! Even if Jimmy Page won't. This will become common knowledge as millions of young audiophiles rediscover the musical pioneers such as Spirit. And it's all here on TH-cam!
I believe Pink wrote the song and performed it first.
Stolen from Spirit - Fresh Garbage
Doesn't matter who wrote it, Beck's version isn't as good. I liked his stuff in Scott Pilgrim, but the chorus of this is just painful to listen to. P!nk can sing a lot better.
Some people may forget Pink in 5 years but I can guarantee you that there are plenty of people that are not even aware of Beck's existence. This garbage proves that Beck is NO genius. Sounds horrible.
Pink does it much better!!!!
pinks version so kills this version
her voice is like his but with soul something he very much lacks
Pink is better
Brielle Beardy-Linklater go listen to stink then. I mean pink.
Beck has ZERO sex. PINK oozes boy/girl sexuality. Ergo this song was better for PINK as a party anthem. Except it got all mixed up Charlie's Angels and never became what it could've. Maybe BECK thinks he's DAFT PUNK?
You've clearly never heard milk and honey; oozes sexuality.
Alex Kalognomos Goddamn you are stupid
