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.
'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.
+Kevin-Ate-Nine as well as Soundgarden and RATM. They also had Stone Temple Pilots, but that bothers me slightly since that game takes place before Core was released.
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.
@@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.
@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.
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.
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!!☝️🥸
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!
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.
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"
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.
@ 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!
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
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.
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!
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!
Same here. Whenever it pops into my head it makes me laugh. I can't think of many songs which contain lyrics reviewing the previous few seconds of music 😂
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
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.

To be quite honest, I didn’t know this song existed. Until I listened to it on the radio for the first time. Ever since, I fell in love with the song. Incredible, shout out to Beck!!
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
Beck does has the coolest line in song: I have two two turntables and a microphone. Where it's at? I want to see them for sure! I just love that line for sure! Does put a smile on my face all the time!
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 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!!!
I was 13 when this was released. I honestly hated it because I liked Korn and wanted to hear more heavy bands like them. Now that I'm older, I love this song because it's nostalgic to me & takes me back to when the only thing I seriously cared about was the music I listened to. Thank you Beck - Your music is timeless!
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.
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.
Loser= in 93 I had badass Trans am with four 12 inch woofers and 2 amps,I got a ticket for loud music everytime I took it outta garage.Beck Loser was one of the songs I bumped.
@@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
"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.
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. 😅😅😅
If we are the only intelligent life in The Universe able to gaze at its wonder, then surely The Universe must think "that's the best opening of any song for 13.8billion years".
As an EMT the lyric “Move thru the room like ambulance drivers” pops in my head all the time. It’s walking into a place proud, and with purpose, and the whole place stops to pay attention to only you. Great imagery and poetry to that lyric.
I use the phrase "2 turntable and a microphone" whenever I get the chance in daily life,very few know what I'm talking about..
"Bottles and cans, just clap your hands" is mine
No you don't.
Haha that’s rad! I do that with “Just chill… till the next episode.”
Been there done that!
My husband just said, “That’s where it’s at.” So I sang, “I got two turn tables and a microphone”, and he looked at me like I was a freak! He doesn’t even know this song.😱
This is great. And seriously, how many styles can one song have?
One style. Beck.
BECK.
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.
same here, but as a teen, i did like "loser" but as an older man, this might be favorite song of his
Too late!
This was anything but subversive
I was at the Apollo watching Kool G Rap in concert
💯
The phrase "Move through the room like ambulance drivers" has never left me.
It's a talent
I just read your comment as the words played. Coincidence: Hell no!
Members only hypnotizers
such an interesting way to describe a rave
@@MikefngarageI would feel at home if I heard Beck at the rave
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.
good deal

Just like Futurama, Beck was......ahead of his time
Got a washboard stomach and a microphone

YOU Rock ! ! ! and so does Beck✌️❤️🍕
Ayah. Rock on.

Well done. You're such a big boy now you're 70.
There are several musical categories. Beck is in his own genre.

This never gets old. Beck is so anticool he's cool
Thats it !

Beck is so fucking cool, it should be illegal.
Anticool is a thing? Is that what Oliver Tree is?
He does *his thing* effortlessly.
I don't think there's an adequate word for being able to be that.
Can't believe so many people never heard of Beck. My childhood was pretty much Beck and Nirvana.
+Trevor Philips On Los Santos Rock Radio, huh?
+Ben Ward
I don't think radio x had nirvana or beck. I know they had L7 and Jane's addiction but that's all i remember. So long ago but fun times...
+Kevin-Ate-Nine as well as Soundgarden and RATM. They also had Stone Temple Pilots, but that bothers me slightly since that game takes place before Core was released.
iv all ways thought beck and nirvana playing together might be REALLY good
+Trevor Philips If they've never heard of him, they are probably just too young. We all have our time in the sun. :)

Ahhhh the 90's...
me too😝
Still i can't believe Beck is a real human being
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 was an A.I designed to be like the fictional character from Futurama.

But AWESOME 😊

Who woulda thought Beck would've outlasted them all. Still making music 25 years later.

Dude's a musical savant.
He was so chill he never ran out of energy
all of us that listened to him he obviously gave no fucks what anyone else thought and thats the real key to success.
The word ''Beck'' should be a fucking Genre it's that sick
strongly agree
But will it compose more of Jeff Beck's works or Beck Hansen's works?

There was a legend that it did once and then they just brought in more chicks and everything was cool
To be quite honest, I didn’t know this song existed. Until I listened to it on the radio for the first time. Ever since, I fell in love with the song. Incredible, shout out to Beck!!
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
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!!
Beck does has the coolest line in song: I have two two turntables and a microphone. Where it's at? I want to see them for sure! I just love that line for sure! Does put a smile on my face all the time!
In good and in evil, good is in the numbers. Literally.
God this is super nostalgic. I grew up listening to beck. Probably why my mind is fucked.
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 👌
ALBUM OF THE YEAR
I KNOW RIGHT
But like, it's almost like the fact that he won is making me realize that NOBODY KNOWS WHO HE IS and it kinda makes me wanna cry
Bobbilytus Choppenstantz you think he gives a shit about that? i doubt it
I think it's so cool that he won
Fuck Kanye. Fuck Beyoncé. Fuck the stupid ignoramus shits who don't know who Beck is
Yes!!! This dude is a vampire. He hasn't aged in 20 years!
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 video was a work of art, nevermind the song being classic
Beck can put alot of rappers to shame
Yeah. Not. There are a lot of fan bois givvvin compliments. It's almost as if y'all are thinking he reads these comments, er sumthin...
Any time someone likes a song on RUclips they gotta find a way to put other artists down in the comments
Beck himself would laugh at your statement ! :D
this song is so funky it even makes line dancing look fun LOL!
Southern Girls Look Good no matter what they're doin'.
Mad Mark ur right!
I was 13 when this was released.
I honestly hated it because I liked Korn and wanted to hear more heavy bands like them.
Now that I'm older, I love this song because it's nostalgic to me & takes me back to when the only thing I seriously cared about was the music I listened to.
Thank you Beck - Your music is timeless!
Ray Manzarek would definitely approve!
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!! 👍👌😎
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.
This video can never go away.
These lyrics are bomb. Never gets old.
never liked him when he first came out...until I really really listened to his whole albums. dude is a musical genius.
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.
There's clearly an homage to the keyboard and chords in the Beatles "Come Together" at the end of this Beck masterpiece.
Producer: "Okay, Beck, what genre do you want this song to be?" Beck: "Yes."
Loser= in 93 I had badass Trans am with four 12 inch woofers and 2 amps,I got a ticket for loud music everytime I took it outta garage.Beck Loser was one of the songs I bumped.
Producer: How many iconic genres do you want to blend?
Beck: *Yes.*
Indeed.
And MORE MOOG
@@DracoVolantus it's all about the Moog
Two drunk guys fighting and a microphone. Pass the Deutsche over here, man. Alright
@@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
"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.
Brilliant collage, it ages like fine wine!
Beck recorded some of the best music ever during the '90's.
This song is no exception!
I sure did
Beck is a legend. He is brilliant.
Thanks!!!
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. 😅😅😅
This was New Age music when New Age was trying to figure out where to place themselves! Beck & House Of Pain / Everlast would have been a dope collab!
this reminds me of high school cant believe its been 30 years.
2020 and still listening to Beck... who's with me??
I am in 2021
Apparently only36 people.
me
Aye
@@jackmoves5552 43..lol
"Oh my god, you're Beck!"
I will hear Bender's washboard skills in the back of this song til I die...
Why do i find you ecerywhere
...ONLY words that came to my mind as I clicked on this video... ;)
Oh my Beck, you're god!"
Cub3ulr, "I would shake your hand and steal your wallet but my crappy body crapped out on me."
If we are the only intelligent life in The Universe able to gaze at its wonder, then surely The Universe must think "that's the best opening of any song for 13.8billion years".
Beck is a genius and was far ahead of his time. Wow. This got me reminiscing
At no point in the video did he have two turntables and a microphone.
funnymanfish and humor y dumpy was never said to be an egg
There was definitely a microphone........and some nudity....
You just don't know where it's at.
they just need to spin
funnymanfish 😂😂😂😅
I love that Ray Manzarek-style electric piano you hear throughout the song. And then at the end, he adds in that garage-y Farfisa sound. Amazing.
When Mellow Gold first came out, my friend said, "I can't tell if it's really bad rap or really good alternative." Wise man.
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
This is where you can hear a hybrid of 60s to 70s music and present day music all rolled up into one tight package
Goosebumps everytime I hear the intro beat. Thankyou Futurama for showing me the way
As an EMT the lyric “Move thru the room like ambulance drivers” pops in my head all the time. It’s walking into a place proud, and with purpose, and the whole place stops to pay attention to only you. Great imagery and poetry to that lyric.
