It's tragic how most people have only heard "Loser". Beck has so many cool songs.
Yes it is. Sadly beck isnt a global megastar he has probably only sold about 10 million albums world wide. Thats still a lot but nothing compared to a popular musician.
Its still enough though for plenty of people to know how cool he is and spread the word :P
He is easily the best musician america has produced in the last 25 years.
Daniel Wood Only?
And that is the one Beck song I can't listen to lol
Fero
That "Mellow Gold" album is one of them "regulation" rock albums that any collection should have(if you still actually have albums/CD's LOL) . Kind of like the first Boston album or Led Zep 1 and 4, Back in Black, etc. It is up there with those.
This jam is real.
My beat is correct.
Like a man from a casket.
! ;)
(That's right)
I was sure the lyric was "fish jam is real"
This guy hits all genres of music and usually in the same song. Way underrated!
In the 90's, he definitely wasn't!
Genius stuff!
He's a Grammy winning artist. Nothing about Beck is underrated.
He's a genius of the stature of Bowie
Drop acid and you'll appreciate Beck much more! 👍
I don't trust people who don't like Beck.
Can’t stop laughing! Brilliant comment!
Beck's insane creativity and eclecticism distilled into one track. Talk rapping? Hip-hop beats? Melting pot of crazy fucking noises and country twangs? Ambient/psychedelic vocal backdrop and outro? Strange scary dancing child? Who thinks of this shit?
The information is by far his best venture
This dude is original AF.
John Fontenot Yes he is.
Not saying he isnt, but this song sampled Chameleon
by Herbie Hancock
he samples A LOT but he can do new & good things with it. i love sampling and really think you can find originality in taking something that exists and pushing it forward.
Ironic comment given the fact that this song is ripped off of Herbie Hancock
@@phantomprism7659 people also get paid for using their original beats .. if they are passed away it ( the money. )
goes to The Estate Of ...
If not that's poor management of any sort.. Really Eitherway not the first. You would hope the last...you do at least have to give it to Beck like any Artis he makes it his Own ..
Like you stated plenty of Artis did it and still are.
They put their own twist on samples. That doesn't mean it's not Original. Just a different vibe.
Can we please give Beck a Nobel Prize?
Yes,. :) EXCEPT: it would be beneath him. Too ... ordinary and predictable!' ;~)
he can have mine im done with it
For integrity... They should make that prize... He's the only entrant.
Think you have to drop bombs 💣 not beats 🥁🎶 to get one of those 🤣
@@WoodysAR Ah, well, we can't truly know. However, I think if his fans all got together and MADE him a trophy and then took it to him, as one huge mass - he might like that.
I love this song...Beck is just timeless and will always be brilliant and never gets old
This whole album is space gold .
Beck’s songs age like fine wine
Beck, you deserved that grammy, and this is why
He got one for "Morning phase" which is a BEAUTIFUL album , but nowhere near the funk of this shit.. 😆
His music has so many layers to it - just wonderful.
his wonderful music has many to layer it just so
Super facts.
The ending of this song is one of the greatest endings of all time, and if you disagree you're wrong.
Agreed 👍❣️
@Alexis Pequeno that’s right
his vocals are quite unique..............I actually didn't like the second part of this song for awhile but I listen to it a lot at work and it grows on you. My favorite song of his is "Bottle of Blues"....being a guitar player myself who dabbles in writing songs....I love that lyric "Its hard to want someone who doesn't want you". Beck is very talented. Alcohol B side used to be an old favorite of mine....he's quite nifty on the guitar as well.
yes, I also agree, I wait all the song for listening to the end
i was going to leave a trolling comment..but you're absolutely right
If you ever have the pleasure of seeing Beck live, make sure it's a small venue. Pay whatever they want. His sound doesn't translate aswell in large places. Dudes one of a kind...amazing!
agreed!!!
I've seen him at MSG... for $25 minimum, they were practically giving away the seats! Would love to see an intimate show
I saw him in a stadium (Wien Arena) and it was incredible... Especially the opening song (The Golden Age), even better than the album version
Yes yes totally agree! Saw him Aug 14 at Ogden (Utah) Twilight, outdoor venue seats only maybe 3 or 4 thousand. He took a break from his tour with Phoenix to do an acoustic performance, was out of this world. Was hoping so much he'd play 'Blackbird Chain' from Morning Phase.... alas my lucky stars were aligned and he played just that. I cried, made me so happy. Beck my all-time favorite!!!
I've seen him do both , FLAWLESSLY
Exactly why I love Beck...so offbeat & original, and it works. David Bowie was another person like this. We are truly blessed to live at the same time these talented people did.
amen.
The bassline is from a Herbie Hancock track...
@@AdeshaNuts 🦎
so true both beck and bowie were musical shape shifters!
Indeed, this certainly sounded like Bowie.
Now that he's eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame its time that Beck gets in.
Damn straight.
Just wish The Information wasn't his last decent album. I love the old stuff. Fuckin w My Head, etc.
@Glenna Foreman you really should listen to Modern Guilt and Morning Phase again. They are fantastic, especially Morning Phase imo. The last two I couldn't enjoy much, but who knows maybe one day I will.
Elftzar I agree re: modern guilt. Morning phase is fine but lacks the creativity, lyrical strength and freshness sea change had.
The legendary Mr. James Gadson on drums... - I love!
which is odd, because Harvey Mason plays on The Information album and this is his groove from Herbie's Chameleon, the synth bass line here is almost identical yet no sample credit on the record... all very odd, probably use the "interpolation" defence.
10 years on, still sounds like it came out yesterday
agree
nope sorry, we all rode through that long ago with the Gorillaz
Will Good - I remember buying this album... er CD and remember a bunch of stickers packed in the booklet. Swear I put them all over my t.v.
Will Good right on 11
One of the greatest basslines of all time.
Check out Herbie Hancock's Chameleon. This fact in no way detracts from Beck's musical genius.
@@fourierxfm I'm actually curious as to whether that's what we're actually hearing but rearranged on a sampler, or if it was played live on a moog with intentionally similar settings.
Major facts!!!
Best instrumental kickdown ever. This Jam is Real..
I arrived on your comment on the exact moment! It is cool.
Herbie Hancock may have something to say about that. Check out Chameleon from '73.
This album got me through so many rough times in Iraq in 07, and through the rest of my time in the military. Last album I was actually able to buy from a brick and mortar music store too.
@@seancomrie4714 lol for me, it was about coming back to the combat outpost after a mission, putting on the headphones and imagining I was just home chilling. Little stuff like that makes all the difference some days. Beck was a reminder of home and good times. All the best to you too!!
Thanks for your service man, I was planning to go into the military myself but life stuff got in the way. My mom got be into Beck, would watch the music videos on a tube television with her when I was a kid. Still years later, no matter what mood I'm in, this song sounds good and is nostalgic.
I bet it did! I can relate to that...I had a traumatizing experience and Beck's Odelay did it for me. Thanks for your service!
Always said it; if Mozart ever came back he'd be playing with Beck.
mozart cant come back
mozart never left
Man, how I love this video! It's a pure trash, utter nonsense, bad acting, terrible hypnotic dancing and lame camera angles. It all works perfectly, like magic. One of my favourites from Beck.
I suppose that was the whole point of the video. To show that "this jam is real" because is not just another overproduced, overhyped song. That's probably why they had a little girl dancing "spontaneously" instead of a group of dancers following a choreography.
Yeah I love the music video. I just works somehow. It's kind-of hypnotic, actually (referring to the whole thing, not just the dancing).
amen
Eat about 2 grams of mushrooms 🍄 and watch the whole DVD. Life altering. Starts out with positive vibes then gets pretty dark.
Though it is his custom to make novating and fun videos, he must have made a real effort to look so "bad"
"Get a tow truck, it's after dark... dance floor's full, but everybody's double parked"
Never change, Beck.
I mean... continue to constantly change and evolve as you feel the need... which, for yourself, is kinda "never changing". 😊
Beck's songs don't always resonate with me (it seems like he has a really varied style) but every now and then I hear one that really just clicks. This is one of them. Very catchy, very unique, very quirky. Great stuff.
This whole album is so addictive! I can't stop listening to it!!
A bear playing drums, ok I'm in!
I don't see why not
this jam is riel
Perhaps not the kind of bear some may be thinking of.
The way he uses his voice as a musical instrument!! Amazing!!
That little girl is all grown up. The inexorable march of time ...
This jam is real..
Love you , Beck...
This is one of my all time favorite Beck songs. Never gets old.
My god this shit is legendary
Alexa Baldwin troop right on man
Alexa Baldwin yeppp spell check
awesome gee gee i love that Girl
Utterly! :)
Amen!
Beck's most underrated single I've discovered so far. This is just the sickest beat I've ever heard.
check Chameleon - Herbie Hancock, almost 15 minutes with this beat, and almost the same melody
This album is wayyyyyy underrated.
I don't have the IQ to process this music appropriately. But... I am feeling some refreshing breeze on my synapses.
A Hartley ......you should try the salmon....lol.
That sounds like something Beck would say.
Oh my hahaha
Ah yes, a stylish nod to Gen X pop culture. ❤
Harmonies at the end of this song are amazing
The thing that always gets me about this video is how the little girl starts moving at the beginning, and we get like twenty seconds in or something, and she's like, "Hmm....something's missing, what could it be....Oh yeah! Any sense of rhythm whatsoever!", and then she just suddenly HAS IT for the rest of the video like nothing happened. Almost like the footage isn't even correctly synchronized to the music, but only in that one part.
It's his niece. Lucia Ribisi. She's killing it! 😊
I APPRECIATE THE FUNK..!!
James Gadson on Drums..💯🔥🎯
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT FUCKING SONG!!!!
That cello there... only Beck could do this
The full dvd that comes with the album is just nuts hahaha.
I’m obsessed by the layers in this TUNE right now
What makes this video awesome, is the the poor dancing. It is amazingly fun to watch.
"I tote my hopes like a juggernaut walks"... That is so sic.
I NEVER SEEN SOMETHING MOST BEAUTYFULL LIKE THAT !!!!!
The way the music transitions back to the bridge/intro at 3:43 is perfect.
Can not get enough.Pure Genius-REALLY. Thanks Mr BECK
Beck is Beck man. Good human being.
2020, anyone?!!!
This is the true shizzzniittttt!!!
Yezzir 🤝
Constant. One of the coldest songs ever.
Let down souls can’t feel the rhythm.
Can’t believe it’s 11 yrs old.
Typical Beck tho. Never predictably leans on a genre so his music always sounds fresh 💪
@RainbowDreams30 true, true.
@@mayhembunz8888 indeed
This jam IS real.
Musical genius, Kanye West ain't fit to hold the awards this guy should receive every year just for being Beck. Remember listening to Loser before classes in college back in early 90s, he's come a helluva long way since then.
Kanye who
Sam Murray
MerkinMuffly yep. he,s a genious... he,s probably the most eclectic musican out there. he plays all styles...
Word...he can improvise a hit in 11 minutes. got more talent in his pinky finger than a lot of so called artists.
I was happily surprised when I saw the video and heard the song for E-pro especially. Yeah Beck's super talented.
Herbie hancock - Chameleon. What a sample man!! Amazing
If I met him, I would thank for this album. It’s masterpiece of music intelligence.
Beck is very difficult to describe he has created a wide variety of music. Personally i believe he was the best musician to emerge from the 1990s. This particular song is quite hard to categorize but i will try jazz funk hiphop!
@dispicablenerd
That's a great description. Give a listen to Headhunters, a group w Herbie Hancock at the helm, and tell me what you think. Hope you're in good health after all these years! 4:49 4:49
I’m a painter and a music lover and dang, when it comes to abstract, Beck is Number 1 on my playlist for bringing out the creativity. Thanks Beck. 😎👍😊
Cool!
I remember how Beck included a DVD with music videos of the songs - with the actual CD! Makes me miss the album era.
3:16 i love this part
Me too... can't tell if she's looking directly at a camera or at a mirror with a camera behind it... while trying to get her ponytails to cooperate.
Me too... can't tell if she's looking directly at a camera or at a mirror with a camera behind it... while trying to get her ponytails to cooperate.
Yes absolutely. Bit like end of Milk & Honey
The workout lady, the little girl, the drummer, and everything else in this video is perfect
Beck have always been incredibly underrated. I remember playing this song and album on repeat back in 2007 whilst I was travelling backwards and forwards on trains to university. It blew my little mind then and it still blows it now. I'd never heard anything like this album before and it still sounds fresh and totally different to anything else.
JennyLucy beauty that’s how he works best.. he is like Tom Waits, Radiohead, Eels, Björk and so on because they either is something underrated or only knows by music lovers who respect creativity and music itself then it’s can live.. the moment this becomes too popular it’s losing its magic.. just ask Rolling Stones after Exile On The Main Street..yeah.. exactly
Beck has that gift
There is ALL outcomes and STILL are and ALWAYS there!
What a beautiful show of multi layered talent😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
I LOVE THIS SONG, one by one I'll knock you OUT...this jam is real
On acid at the lake with 20 other people and not one of us had realized this album had looped around over and over for 8 hours lol
Turd Furgeson jar of flies also great to trip too. Or go og larks tongue in aspic
@Turd Fergeson Your name makes me so happy! ; D
this reminds me of the old school boom boxes with auto reverse. we used to play a cassette all night.
sounds fun, or some shrooms
For me, it was Mr Dobalina ... same scenario
I can literally play this song every time I listen to music, it’s such a good song for many reasons. The low fi video effects are what Euro-Rack video effect modules are producing now-a-days... so good
_Euro-Rack video effect modules_
exactly what i was thinking
Lucia Ribisi... His niece sporting the ponytails/ dance moves. Bravissimo!
Beck at his finest (imo).
***** I like this one, too!!
@Franz Farmer The Information is my favorite Beck album. Guero seems to have overshadowed it.
this whole thing is flawless
I'm on the pace bus having a dance party all by myself right now...
Beck has always been a damn GENIUS...give him the Lanny Poffo of Music Award
2013 and this jam is still real.. that's right.
This was the first ever Beck song I'd ever heard... Boy did he wake me up! His sound will never fade.
This song is ten years old and it still thumps.
Dont ever stop making music man
Still fresh af after all these years. So good!!
Beck be like, "Let them keep underestimating you, Beck."
The thing I've always loved about Beck is that he proves the lyrics don't have to mean something for the music to be good. His lyrics have almost always been nonsense (a la Mike Patton), but the music has always been great listening. There's a difference between reason and emotion; the power of music is more pure and potent than the silly "meanings" we try to ascribe to lyrics could ever be. A song's lyrics don't have to mean anything for the song to resonate with you. That's why songs can mean two different things to two different people and still be as potent for each; because the meaning isn't what's affecting you; the music is.
I don't know if that's how Beck feels about it, but it's how I feel about it. It's why I think music is so important. It's bigger and more pure than transient things like romance, politics, and religion.
*****
Yes a lot of his lyrics dont mean anything. Another favorite of mine David Bowie most of his lyrics are gibberish as well. They both create great music though.
+Daniel Wood Red Hot Chili Pepper's to lol.
+VoyagerAbove The lyrics are not "meaningless", they are poetry. It's not blatant and obvious what the meaning is. This is what I love about Beck's lyrics (and David Bowie's, and some of the Red Hot Chili Peppers', as mentioned in the replies to your comment). Poetry has meaning. It doesn't have to be direct, it gives you an impression and paints pictures in your mind if you let it. The fact he took the time to choose certain combinations of words means it's not meaningless. He often plays with words and their sounds to give things a dual meaning, like "my sun-eyed girl/my cyanide girl", etc. Beck writes awesome lyrics. If no meaning was intended, it would just be gibberish sounds or purely instrumental with no lyrics.
+VoyagerAbove songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858537883/ -read the comments (it's about "Girl" rather than "Cellphone's Dead", but it has better interpretations because those lyrics are quite a bit less obscure. :)
+VoyagerAbove Sea Change and Morning Phase are an exception to this I'd say.
His beats 'are correct'! & coordinated w/everything else, I can't even describe how good this is!
thats one badass grizlly on drums lmao. this reminds me of the old devo or talking heads videos.
Everything is influenced by Devo
До сих пор слушаю Беск! Первое что я услышал это Лазер. В 1994.В Москве. Я там живу. Потом купил альбом Он фут ин зе грейв)) это вообще высший пилотаж. И до сих пор слушаю, и знаю все альбомы. И сам играю на гитаре))
Lucky lil girl to be in such an awesome video
one of my favourite tunes!
Been listening to beck since '93. Will keep listening to him 'til I'm 93, and past that if I make it that far.
i heard every thing he said to
@@satchelsatchel "too" Bruh not "to"
She’s doing jumping jacks ina new ways 🤸
Reminds me of old school Beck, this song makes me dance!!
This jam is REAL.
Im always a little jealous when I watch this video bc I wasn’t invited to be in it 🤣
I think this plays when you are dying and your whole life is rolling before your eyes. Absolutely brilliant.
that explains why this song is playing because i am dying right now as we speak
Beck did it better than everyone else before they even existed
This album is SO underrated. I remember jamming out to this with my dad driving around in his blue E46. I must have been around 10 :D
Beck is such a prolific composer his music makes me feel!!!😊
Why is this my favorite video?!
"One by one I'll knock you out".
Beck certainly does! 👌
I swear Beck does Mushrooms...This is weirdly genius.
:) Have to spend some real time there,. on that,.. 'PLANE' of existence ;) to express it so well!
I need to know which ones... ;-)
Some folks are creative without the need for aid
@420 Friendly You're in the same boat as him homie. Heed your own advice.
@@LOCKEYJ Zappa is the best example of this.
I love what Beck does with sounds.
Def my favourite Beck song Oh and the ending damn man that sht don't last long enough Should have just let it go on for hours Such a hypnotic song Genius
She is such a cutie pie. The girl. So brave. When I was her age cameras gave me so much panic and anxiety. I was even scared of a radio station microphone in my later years lol. Awesome video, incredible song. It’s a mainstay in my life, thank you so much !
Do you know who she is? Is that Beck’s daughter?
@@annhitchcock3093 niece if I recall
This beat is everything
"Comin' to you like a rope in a chain store..." still awesome in 2020. A year which will go down as being not so awesome.
Why does it need to be more popular? It doesn't change the quality of the music at all. Its fine the way it is
this is the musical form of a dextromethorphan trip
the jam session at the end is the funkiest thing i have ever heard 3.20 onwards and i have listened to a lot of music.
Does Kanye have a bear for a drummer? Didn't think so.
Two year old comment, i know, but the irony is Kanye was a bear for his first few albums
BronzedMocha the bear brought me here. I'm a big fan.
Or 8 year old dancers with plaits
That grizzly bear is JAMMING OUT
Neither does Beyonce
Ahhh man...how did I miss this one?
Siiiiiiiiiiick
