[Flash9Flood]

Beck never ceases to amaze me..!

[TheChadls]

does anyone know what album this is on? oh yeah the life less ordinary soundtrack...lol

[barspin180]

odelay

[antblue363]

Sing it "BECK"

[NirvanaAddict95]

3:16 love it!

[arandomotaku]

my favorite too

[bingstar316]

This video just seems like beck in his average day...

[Illustrator092]

this video just seems like beck is on a permanent acid trip

[pittster57]

I like the SPY VS SPY theam, for those who don't remember, it was an MTV commerical that MT. Dew started to use.

[lithjimmy]

spy vs spy is from mad magazine...

Does anyone know how directed this video?

Give up?

Michelle Gondry. (be kind rewind, eternal sunshine of the blah blah blah) Actually he's done a few other videos which were awesome. daft punk's around the world and chemical brother's let forever be...to name my favorites..

[freredewil]

Its " Michel "

Michelle is for girls :)

Nice french tastes also !

[BPH430]

genius

[MONICAIQ]

i LOVE BECK!

And I love Michel Gondry one of the best directors!!!!!

[CABEZONPITUDO]

this makes me trip every time =D

[AltCowGod]

shadowghost

[KrazyKuul111]

lmao, that made me laugh out loud when it showed him working on the beach

[CarSleepConditions]

That man is a genius!!!

[skaterocknroll]

I love how many different sounds are in this song..

[Dreed122]

The whole family is gifted. on both sides, but especially the Hansen side.

[RickGrimesson]

How does he even think of these music videos? God Gondry is awesome. Anyone catch that movie he did in for that Tokyo film? Its well worth the rent just to see another Gondry film until Green Hornet.

[Montymio]

dude have you seen the star guitar video by gondry? its the best.

[ALICEtheMONSTER]

Geez, i love Beck<3

[tigertremp]

Really? I heard you can get it by fucking off.

[ToriKicksAss]

I love the shadow part

hella trippy

hes a genius :)

[TheFanOfCrypto138]

On the wall at 1:20 where there are 2 kids standing, Beck is on the left and his brother is on the right.

[TheFanOfCrypto138]

... and the black and white of the Woman to the left of him and his brother is his mom.

[bluebubbles347]

this is such a cool video!!! love it!

[chriseatschopsuey]

agh this song had been stuck in my head for ages

[mercury110]

Viva Beck!

[Bram25]

Genious masterpiece. To have such imagination and fantasy, you have to be gifted to achieve at this level!

[CaptainPoopface]

I know, Michel Gondry is great...

[mucalol]

muito loco... animal msmo...

CRAZY!!!

[ELCUEROBAGO]

me saco el sombrero...

[Xerticle]

Hes the most creative man in the world

[CaptainPoopface]

michel gondry?

[neothinkout]

OO Shit!

[Babs22h]

tucci is totally hot and is the man with his sexy hairy chest!

[irvingcsaltzburg]

Son of a bitch, that bastard Beck stole that random surreal thought I had way back when I was a high school freshman; the one with the shadow walking around and the person taking the shadow's place. Well technically this video came out several years before I thought it up, but I wasnt aware of this video until just recently. Dammit that always happens to me, every time I think I have an innovative thought some genuine genius like Beck or Michel Gondry already beat me to it. God I love this song.

[Groovin1000]

lol

[failedthedrugtest]

U're not the only one :P

[kenz13182]

definitely one of my favorite Beck songs, and videos. Michel Gondry makes everything better. Check out his new film, "Tokyo!"

[markman99]

As most of you know, the Dust Bros helped produce Beck's albums Odelay and Guero.

But this song was also produced by them. If you go to Dust Bros' website, they list every song/artist/album they've produced.

Anyway, this song reminds me of the songs they did for Fight Club. "Corporate World" when Ed Norton is shopping Ikea. And from 2:34 to 2:40 sounds similar to the buzzer sound effects in the song "Chemical Burn."

[monkeyknuckle69]

blah! i was made to watch this over and over and over by my teacher to analyis it.... im sorry but ill never be the same person again....in a bad way...

[youcreatea]

ahhahaha

[youcreatea]

you should tell us what yous aid about it

[dylanroeb]

so genius. hey Beck did an amazing mix for the Whitely Kros runway show. It's on their website and kind of insane. Thought I would share. whitleykros(dot)com

That's Marissa Ribisi's label.

[InflatablePlane]

OMFG!!!! I haven't heard this song in forever! I didn't know who did it until I listened to the special edition of "Odelay" LOL!

[Millst0ne]

Once this song is in your head it never gets out ... I was singing this song to my baseball team last year ... They were all singing it with me but had never heard it ... Gotta love that Beck !!

[TheFanOfCrypto138]

Today was the first time I heard this song, like not even 2 hours ago! I love Beck, he is probably one of my favorite artists, and I think this is my new favorite song by him!

[AnAbstractFragment]

This is by far one of my favourite songs by Beck.

[Waffletamer]

the look on his face when he sees the wallpaper is priceless

[slyyoda]

i do realize it puople...........

doesnt anyone else?

[Pupole]

doesn't anyone else realise that beck is probs the best 'modern' musicain since John Lennon

[videostrategies]

I've watched/listened to this video many times but only now realize this is some of the best singing I've heard from Beck. He gives the vocal here a kind of weary/breathy edge that really fits in nicely with the music. The lyrics are outstanding also.

[emptyNINE]

Yeah, every time I hear "Don't let the sun catch you cryin;", it's stuck in my head for the rest of the day... But that's definitely a good thing.

[veritas1005]

IS THIS BEACH VENTURA BY CHANCE

[loljustice]

not sure if anyone's said this already...but at 1:21 on the wall to the right, that's Beck and his brother Channing....and to the left, his mother, Bibbe :)

[blackrustedvan]

Is that a Johnny Depp cameo at 2:34?

[ilmagnifico114]

i have two of Beck's CDs but his music is 1000x better when your watching the video.

genius! :D

[frob100]

I would agree this is a good transition from Odelay to Mutations. One thing I could never understand is why are they no music videos for any Mutations songs?

[randomdlister]

Beck fucking rules!

[SarahBass84]

wow. I absoultly loved the part where his shadow dragged him. amazing. just like beck.

[bexz0r]

Holy god that had Gondry written all over it. :D

[ptoughnutz]

is this song a bside from odelay or mellow gold?

[sbands1]

this is taken from the soundtrack for the movie "A Life Less Ordinary"

[narmon238]

i consider this the song that bridged the styles between "odelay" and "mutations"

[bleedingrasberry]

it is a b-side from odelay

[ndnstd]

deadweight means your on vacation ALL the time.

if you're beck

it also means not to turn the other cheek

[PiNkLoLiPoPs]

Beck is an enigma, and I am fascinated.

[americanroulette]

His beach office should have had a door.

[stargrub]

You goddamned kids with your bizarre undertones! I wish theyd lock you all in the nut house. when i was your age jdajsklsas

[tagabak]

I ask my question differently.

What should a deadweight to never be sick?

[pabloeldiablo1]

Absolutely the best...

[tagabak]

I don't undersand what this music video talks about ! Why Beck is sick ? Stress ?depression? i would like a answer please !

[pabloeldiablo1]

If you wanna know, what's wrong with this man, you must watch a Polish movie "Dzień Świra" (A Day Of Freak), with Marek Kondrat...

Everything will be clear...

[Precipitation]

Beck's a genius. There should be more videos like this. Weird is good!

[tagabak]

we know Beck is Genius but i would like understand: What is a deadweight ? please.thanks

[Franzoso06]

I'm not mother tongue English (double check) but translating it straight into my language (French)... one of the definition of a deadweight is a useless weight that doesn't bring anything or worse can decrease the performance.

[cooljob9]

just love this

[pb420doggie]

Beck's videos are just as strange as his music.

[CheapTrick5]

Deadweight=Best Beck Song Ever

[Playbyinstinct]

haaaaaaaaa amazing

[futuremason4301]

what album??/

[kozmikoblivion]

A Life Less Ordinary... it's a soundtrack.

[lampadairefrancis]

the song is older than the film

[kozmikoblivion]

brilliant

[RedRedWineMusic]

actually, you can find it on the deluxe edition of Odelay as well

[Akira1296]

favorite Beck song ever, and one of my favorite vids too

[alexxahex]

Beck is SO sexy in this video. He has such a boyish charm to him.

[Kiwi00Jess]

i agree, hes pretty hot!

[bleedingrasberry]

i think he is always hot and sexy!

[conzimzzz]

you guys are all creeps

[bleedingrasberry]

thanks if im being called a creep for beck who cares!

[Shukes2]

boogie, are you on about the one that's in the Grand Designs advert? because i wanna know what that is called. it has a whistling bit.

[ndnstd]

could it be "pay no mind", Boogiepop100?

[ndnstd]

beck is very mysterious. he's the nineties equivalent of...something. he's still around so now he's the 21st century version of...beck.

[BoxcarJack]

An answer to what you might be looking for could be someone equally mysterious like Leon Redbone. I remember him wearing a white suit and black tie with a panama hat. Similar to how Beck is dressed in the lounge chair in the office. I bet anything Redbone has been a big influence. They both feel like they're from another time or want to be.

[ndnstd]

i never gave redbone that much thought, i'll try listening to him.

[Boogiepop100]

Good people, I'm looking for a Beck song I heared (in some movie? commercial? touching TV series?)

I can't even remember the lyrics, but it was acoustic and quite, kinda like a quite alice in chains song, and Man, I just can't find it!

Would be grateful for any ideas!!

[me6787]

try loser or ermm beercan maby (thats a long shot but try it out)

[SunnySnail]

Lmao

2:20 looks like a Giant Ciggaret xD

[Monkeynaut79]

That's the good life

[KarooRose]

sure is.

[Urbanheckler]

The best!!!!

[Crraabbmmaann]

such a brilliant video

[cwtrpolopbd]

Ewan McGregor is in it...

[White87FC]

No shit?

[RoxannePerson]

i love beck!!! and michel gondry..

[torvicimagen]

yeah

[MRCM78]

oh and wavelength247 is right modern guilt is good shit

[MRCM78]

this song is bad ass, I love beck

[tehdbomber]

Trippy.

[crizjoonya]

shit ive been lookin for this vid. for yrs.! saw it 1 time on Alt. Nation, Mtv. spent countless conversations asking EVERYONE if they knew this Beck song...NOBODY DID! thnx YOU TUBE!

[BagofSunshine1001]

ive got same exact story man

[maddiks]

this is different from becks usual music, but its still good. It seams that this is the video that portrays pure stress

[jaythelad]

Boss tune

[steuieee]

AHHH! The drumset monster is gonna get me!

[ReverendNillerz]

dont

Let

The

SUN

CATCH YOU

CRAIY-I-in!

[oliveastone]

wow I love the bit with the shadow. I don't know if that has something to do with the movie but it was awesome!

[Wavelength247]

Go out and buy Modern Guilt NOW. This man is the only sustainable genius in music working right now(all the others are fed up, dissolutioned and discouraged) Despite the gloomy lyrical outlook on Modern Guilt, the music contunies to absolutely kick ass.Nevermind some of the embarassingly inept critical reviews, no one can touch him from a creative angle. That's Beck, he always brings the musical goods, no matter what. Dig.

[mcspada14]

i love this song, i love this video clip, and i love the movie "A LIFE LESS ORDINARY"

[Martinvanvannostrin]

do not talk about scientology on this video, no one wants to hear anyone elses opinion on it!!!!

[theanalyticalkid]

DId beck have a cameo in that movie?

[xshabootiex]

I fucking love Beck.

[weirdhotshot]

Another one of Gondry's fantastic videos.

This one is awesome. Beck is ridiculous!

[rebeccamykitten]

beck's video's are always cool

[niwhu]

lovely weirdo

[antblue363]

FANTASTIC-ALTERNATIVE AT ITS BEST

[frigginhippy]

man some times i miss downers.

[RELISIX]

that repeating 'doo doo do...' thing has been stuck in my head for a week.i hate beck lol

[borysmako]

Genius! Beck is the most chill guy on this fuckin' planet!

[shinesinpines]

has this song been used in a movie before?

[aomoridave]

Yes, A Life Less Ordinary. It came out in 1997. Ewan MacGregor and Cameron Diaz were in it.

[JimmyRond]

i wish ppl would shut up with this scientology crap about beck, no one actually cares, now shut up and enjoy the video.

[h7dycar7]

I agree. Most people don't know that he was born into a Scientologist family - rather than most Hollywood stars who convert to be trendy.

[Kenster1025]

A Candian music producer and a norweigen mother?

[DearestCarcas]

Beck is amazing. <3

[jeremy6992]

i love this video,

michel gondry is amazing,

and beck also,

haha, Cameron diaz,

thats kinda random

[theorphannun]

i agree with everything except the randomness of cameron diaz. this song was done for the soundtrack for a life less ordinary. shots of the whole cast are scattered through the vid.

[jeremy6992]

yeah, i just thought it was weird that Michel gondry, being who he is, would choose her, because she relates to most viewers on a high associative level, and sometimes it can take away from the video.

[theorphannun]

word.

[032koncept]

If you kind of notice, I think he spoke out about it in "Devils Haircut".

Remember, he hasn't even got a high school diploma. The guy probably lives in fear, but he totally channels all of this through his music.

[jnycnuk]

032; you are correct. scientology does not allow scientology children to get a proper education out of fear they will leave.

[onigumo41]

what do you mean by that?

[Shotgunnova]

Good song.

[cya420]

I think BECK is simply amazing. I could care less what religion he believes in. If he continues to make life changing music that is all that matters to me. It is not like he openly preaches and pushes his beliefs on anyone.

[jnycnuk]

scientology kills again. see "konrad aigner" leave the cult beck!

[Babs22h]

you can totally see where beck was going musically with this cut... "Mutations" is all over this stuff much less "Odelay" influences

[jimjamjoguy]

this vid owns! michel gondry i salute u!

[JimmyRond]

plz shut up with all the scientology crap about beck, hes a musician, we listen to his music, not his religion, if u are that bothered about his religion then take it to ppl who care.

[jnycnuk]

jimmy; i'm sure that's what the nazis said to anyone that criticized the nazi party in the thirties. if you support beck you are indirectly supporting a cult that has destroyed so many and killed so many.

[omghost1234]

Shut the hell up. I know beck is a scientologist, and I hate scientology, but his music is extremely good. If you listen to his music and not his faith, you may actually find the extreme beauty hidden inside his style.

Oh yeah, Nazis had nothing to do with music, and beck isn't hurting anybody, so shut up please.

[jnycnuk]

wmg; no, i won't SHUT THE HELL UP. when there is something wrong i will always do everything i can to stop it in everyway i can!

[omghost1234]

"i will always do everything i can to stop it in everyway i can"

wow, guys. Just wow.

Haha That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

[jnycnuk]

omg; i'm guessin that you are a scilon because that is the only people that speak as you do. so, mr/mrs scientology supporter, you are who we oppose ( for the deaths and family breakup ). if you are just a misguided troll -- shut your fucking piehole and do some research instead of making yourself look like a total moron!

[omghost1234]

Actually if you read my comment earlier, I hate scientology. I can't stand that horrible cult.

I hate scientology, but I support Beck.

That's all I'm trying to say

[omghost1234]

And also, I'm jewish, so I can't be a scilon

[jnycnuk]

omg; check out scientology in israel (youtube) jews are being swindled as well.

[omghost1234]

I don't live in Israel. I live in America.

[jnycnuk]

omg; your previous statement: "i'm jewish so i can't be a scilon". many jews have been drawn into the cult. there have also been deaths of jews that belonged to the cult in israel.

[jnycnuk]

look up paulette cooper and you'll know why scientology must be destroyed.

[blacksabbath56]

Lol, does his vacation at work, but works on vacation.

[jimjamjoguy]

michel gondry is a great director especially his music vids like this one

[revolt63]

Great stuff ...the Bridges ; )

[tienesunboligrafo]

HELL-O!

[yvesmartini]

that is ewan mcgregor..not bill pullman ;)

[beezoid27]

Is that Ewan McGregor?

[pics1301]

no its bill pullman ya stupid cunt

[beezoid27]

how old are you, 10? feeling emasculated that you go around posting garbage on youtube?

[pics1301]

no i'm 11 ya fuckin idiot
