This song is a little-known gem. I had to look up "Beck robbing McDonalds song," to find it, because I didn't know what it was called. I just remembered "Give me all your money...and three big macs to go."
I remember seeing Beck play this live at a little coffee shop called The Haven in Pomona back in 1994 when Loser had just hit the airwaves. He played a dozen songs or so, but not Loser! LOL, he was getting ready to pack up, the crowd got restless at not hearing the song that had brought them there, then he finally relented and played it. He signed my flyer for the show with '666' surrounded by a heart. Freaking weirdo.
@@youtubesucks1111 Thanks for replying! I was asking cause I played this song in a live show. I put a capo on the second fret and it sounded good! You can hear the concert on my channel. It should be my last live at SIU video I made!
Weird, The copy I have of this song is much more raw. I have never heard this cleaned up. But I think it is a kick ass song. And to be honest I think the crappy version is more emphatic lol.
Me too bro. I think it has to do with the original sound degrading from being transferred to tape and then to cd. But I do know there are 2 different versions of the song floating around.
i remember singing this walking home from going out with my friends when i was sixteen. He probably wrote it round about that age. Makes me wanna drink a bottle of wine and become all boring and nostalgic. Damn i'm getting old...
woody Guthrie; buffalo skinners. my fav sort of version of this song is the version Bob Dylan did with the band for the basement tapes, "hills of mexico", not officially released song i don't think but it's around. I like how beck updated the lyrics. lots of interesting versions of this song floating around
Hilarious song... shows that Beck was probably deep into Dylan at an early age, as this borrows/spoofs 'Lily of the West' off the super rare 'Dylan' in the 70s.
I had a bootleg of this song and the rest of his set off KCRW along with a couple of choice songs off of Mutations but I haven't been able to find it since the first time I p2p'ed it in the early 2000's. If anyone has it/knows where I can get it I'd be eternally grateful. It's listed as one of the bootlegs on whiskeyclone.

He's a prophet
do you still have the flyer?
Do you know what Chords he was playing? And do you still have the flyer??
@@USSCYT No clue what the chords are but I'm pretty sure the tuning for this song is Eb.

I wonder if that's the same Steve who took the bad acid and threw up on the ferris wheel?
Greatest old west lyrics ever.

Great song! A reworked version of the old traditional song "Buffalo Skinners".
i love this song, probably my favorite by beck
Staring at the wall, depressed

Lyrics are killer on this one
spend a weekend pleasant..... down in mexico
Best songwriting I have ever heard
"Marie" van Townes lijkt hier op, allebei zeer doorleefd waarbij Beck met zijn toendertijds jonge leeftijd opvalt.
Ja dit heeft een hoog Townes gehalte idd
thats illegal man
if you like this look up buffalo skinners by ramblin jack elliot...
My KCRW tape popped in 2003 thanks for uploading this
