Beck - Loser - alternative psychedelic rock?

Beck - Loser

Another one-hit wonder, although he has a few albums after this one with a lot of quality music inside. Loser should be a single everyone knows mainly because Beck was initially signed to "Bong Load" which is kind of where the song goes with all the strange stuff going around in its music video. Rolling Stone magazine gave it number 203 it it's 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time. 

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin’ with a loser and the cruise control
Baby’s in reno with the vitamin d
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
Someone came sayin’ I’m insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don’t believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park

Yo. cut it.

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

(double barrel buckshot)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
’cuz one’s got a weasel and the other’s got a flag
One’s on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey-neck and it’s hangin’ from a pigeon wing
You can’t write if you can’t relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin’ on a termite
who's chokin’ on the splinters

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(get crazy with the cheese whiz)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(drive-by body-pierce)
(yo bring it on down)
Soooooyy....

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(I can’t believe you)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(Nlehh...)
Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?
(know what I’m sayin’? )

  1. Hello sir, I got you by Google search.

    It is really helpful website about the topic of 90s-music.net.It beautiful site for all the people.We are get benefit by this site day by day.I also like this site. I so much interest about your article. I know it is not any simple information. This is very nice post! I will bookmark this blog as I have Termites can probably display up right through any time of the 12 months, but usually issues related to termite control turn up all the way through the spring time. Because of warmer climates and wet days, it is this time of 12 months where termites flourish. Termite colonies start to spring up and more often than not it is rather tough to control. Due to subterranean and interior wood headaches, with most termite eventualities, it is strongly recommended to rent skilled assistance.

    Thank You Very Much For Write That Fantastic Article.
