  • happy bob from viagra commericals

  • al jeffe references, can we say mad magazine?

  • I see where BECK is coming from in this video, this song is totally So Cal, people just calm down and enjoy the tune man. Just have some beef jerky and beer and you'll be fine, I'm doing it, you should too. Have fun man, before it is too late.

  • dude, more ppl need to be like you.

    come up to nebraska and teach these kids how to behave.

    ive lived a lot of different regions but never been to so cal . it sounds like my kinda place.

    kudos to you for bein cool man!

  • @Inkswim I try man, I try!

  • Take it to the parking lot and let us enjoy the music!:O)

  • scientology is wackadoodle

  • I mean if you watch this video (or listen to this album at all) you see how friggin LA Beck is. The Scientology thing makes sense.

  • its manzena, he clearly lipsyncs it, not to mention a majority of the songs on this album have some sort of spanglish chorus, its not cyanide girl, he comes nothing close to saying it. and for the scientologist argument, he was raised into it and he believes mostly in the humanitarian aspects of it. he did not convert and even if he did he's not tom cruise about it. its manzena and he isn't bad for being a scientologist, repost if you agree.

  • Scientology is evil. As soon as the government collapses they will be among the first groups to be purged from Gods Earth.

  • Scientology is not evil, Just retarded, And no one will be purged from earth, We'll probably end up killing each other. not god

  • of course he lipsyncs. its a freaking music video. no one actually sings. retard

  • This is off his best album in my opinion, not a song on it i dont love!

  • and by misleading i mean that i have a friend(if you want to call him that) who was raised a christian(and believes he's one) because his dad is a pastor at a southern baptist church. so this friend of mine has been telling me over the years that he's worried about my soul because i haven't gotten down on my knees and "accepted"(blown) jesus christ. but the funny part is that this friend of mine breaks more the of seven mortal sins every day than i do in a week. all i can say is "i'm lovin' it"

  • why is everyone all up in arms about beck being scientologist? i mean, how is that any worse than being a christian? both religions lead people to believe total horseshit ideas, so what's the difference? and don't get me wrong, i think the bible and other books like it started out having a legitimate historical story to tell, but they got distorted over the years, changed by mankind, and are now completely illogical and sadly misleading.

  • im native spanish and he says clearly "manzana" girl = apple girl

  • i always tought it was sourthern its deffintly not cyanide

  • Beck was actually raised in the church of Scientology.

  • Makes me want to dance everytime I hear this song!

  • beck is freaking amazing. his choice of religion has nothing to do with his complete AWESOMENESS. why would that even be brought up? he is an amazing musician as well. mann you guys can suck it.

  • Amen!! thank you. i couldnt have said it better larkimumba... people are fickle about the stupidest shit. shut up and enjoy the fukin tunes already. preach!!

    Beck = Musical Genius. Period.

  • Wow, really?

    "Omg, he's x religion.

    He must be a terrible musician!!11

    I'm never listening to him again!!!!11one"

    Listen to yourself..

  • his mother and father were scientologists and he was raised a scientologist i myself think scientology is a totally fucking crazy religion but just thought id correct you on the 'now that hes a scientologist part'

  • yep he is saying sun eyed

  • do you guys seriously not know how to read lips or correctly translate lyrics? He is most definitely saying "sun-eyed girl." I mean come on, part of the song is getting back together with a girl for crying out loud!

  • OR...is it about giving cyanide to a girl?

    Of course its suneyed girl - like you said all you need to do is read his lips.

  • completely underrated.

  • Pure emotion!!!

  • There is absolutely no way he is saying "cyanide". I'll bet y'all $5.

  • This guy is a genious... absolutly!!

  • Beck's a weirdie. But that's cool.

  • Underrated.

  • i searched the lyrics for the song and checked a few sites. i got; "Hey, my cyanide girl", "Hey my summer girl" and "Hey my sun-eyed girl" im guessing its ine of the last two lol

  • it's definitely sun-eyed girl

  • You sure, i always thought it was summer girl

  • it doesn't sound like he's saying 'er' though...

    i have an idea

    we should just ask beck LOL

  • read the lyrics... take a guess, cyanide girl, its about killing his girl.

  • Maizena Girl? Wouldn't that translate to "Cornstarch Girl"?

  • Hehe It's sun-eyed girl!! : D

  • soo can someone tell me the meaning of the song id like to know

  • Judging from the video it could be that things are different when you put them together, but Idk

  • this is the happiest and most catchy song about killing someone that i've ever heard. every time i hear it i wonder why no one has checked his basement for bodies.

  • Huh, never knew there was so many interpretations to what the singer was saying. I always heard it as "Hey, let summer go" interesting though

  • no no no no, the real words are manzana girl, it's like to say apple girl. thank you, thank you....

  • my son a girl ! eyyy !!

  • i love this song :)

  • If you look closely at his mouth while say'n Maizena Girl, you can tell its certainly not cyanide girl, even though that could've been a better song, that along with the spanish overtones,and women, I would come to the conclusion its Maizena Girl, but to each his own, GO CYANIDE GIRLS

  • wow

    this brings back memories.

  • Hey my sun eyed girl, you make me feel good ^^

  • hmm, i'm certain it's "my cyanide girl", but I like sun-eyed better, so I pretend he says that instead.

  • It's "hey, my sun-eyed girl." :)

  • He definitely isn't saying summer.

    He's either saying cyanide or sun-eyed

  • wow so no one really knows what he said? lol

    I thought he said summer, but thats just a guess...

  • I thought he said "my sinner girl"

  • i'm not sure what he says, "summer"?

    This video is pretty awesome though

  • hahaaa it sounds like he says n***(n word) with a salty lunch at :51

  • I always thought it was Maizena Girl (pronounced my-sena) because it would translate to My flour (Flower) girl and beck does alot of word play and it is a spanish word and as you can see that this is well...spanish. But it doesn't really matter, you can claim what ever you want it to be. I think beck did this so you could come up with your own idea of what he said and it's your really all right because only beck (That genius) knows what he said XD.

  • The first thing I noticed about the video was how awesome Beck's shoes are XD Great song and amazing video.

  • Is Beck from this planet? He's mesmerizing.

  • His mom was a regular at Andy Worhal's "factory" in New York. LOL! THAT could account for the extreme wackiness!

  • at 1:54 it sounds like he says n*** (n word) with a salty lunch rofl

  • Man, it so does.

    I've heard it a million times but never realized til now.

    It's probably naked though, or something like that.

  • me gusta

  • this is a long way from cyanide breathmint, but it's still very good

  • is Beck a mexican? or what?

  • ?dude are you joking

  • lol no...I read that he was influenced by a bunch of music in southern California, one of them being Spanish music.

    So in Guero especially, he experimented with more Spanish stuff, and even paid homage to it.

  • If you look back at the 1500 comments on this video you will see arguements as to what it is Cyanide or Sun-eyed. All you guys can do is bitch, bitch, bitch. Damn can't you people just enjoy the song. If it sun-eyed or cyanide does it make the song any less wonderful? So quit with the bitchin' and just enjoy some Beck.

    You dig?

  • it doesn't make the song less wonderful

    but are u not curious at all to which it is?

  • No. I know what it is.

  • well then u cannot comprehend what everyone else is going through, ur opinion is void! :]

  • Beck is saying maizena girl. Maizena is flour in spanish, so he is basically saying flour girl.

  • Comment removed

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, as a Beck afficianado, I can assure you all that he is indeed saying "CYANIDE"-----Remember reading an interview he did after the release of this album , Guero, in 2005, and the interviewer asked him about it and should someone read anything into why he chose to use that particular phrase/lyric ........

  • I suddenly feel like buying an issue of MAD magazine ( i loved the 'fold-ins' )

  • My Sun-eyed girl

  • Its Beck, after all. Just enjoy the song and feel it however you want!

  • So I gues it could either be cynide or sun-eyed... But cyanide fit's better with the rest of the lyrics

  • he is saying "hey, my summer girl".

    not cyanide girl.

  • "heyyyy my sun-eyed girl"

  • guys, sun eyed girl doesnt fit with the rest of the lyrics. hes talking about ho "I know im gonna make her die, and she doesnt even know whats wrong"

    im prestty sure its cyanide

  • it may sound like sun eyed but if u ever been 2 any of his live performances he clearly say cyanide and plus he needs 2 make it 2 syllibles to fit the song

    cy-a-nide

    cy-nide

    sound it out youll get it

  • Zeke

    Sun-eyed also has 2

  • obviously but wat fits da pesamistic lyrics best

  • Beck's got a wicked speech impediment if that's supposed to be cyanide.

  • It's definitely sun-eye, not cyanide. You can clearly tell what he is saying is two syllables, sun-eyed. Not three, cy-uhh-nide.

  • In the cd, the lyrics say "My #### girl". So, maybe he wanted it to be interpreted however the fuck people wanted to; this is Beck after all, but who knows.

  • i think it is sun eyed, cyanide is pronounced in the way that is doesnt fit

    what hes singing

  • He is saying "hey, my cyanide girl". Google the lyrics. duh!!

  • ..? haha

  • Unless that Google page takes us directly to a quote from Beck saying "It's cyanide girl" then a Google search means nothing.

  • hey rawtoast......use your common sense and look it up. give your head a break from being shoved up your ass

  • Hey toohot, use YOUR common sense and realize that those sites are from fans like us who sometimes get things wrong. Citing a fan page as proof that he's saying this or that is like citing your mom that you're cool.

  • I don't really care what he's saying.

    Whatever it is, it's awesome.

  • It's sun eyed girl.

    It's on the sign at 2:33

  • The song could conceivably be about a serial killer, however, it is sun-eyed girl not cyanide girl.

  • man, that car makes me want to drive soooo bad damn 2 more years unless they change the law again......

  • i feel ya man,im the same way

  • i think it it's my SUMMER girl....

  • Hey, my sun-eyed girl

    Hey, my sun-eyed girl

    My sun-eyed girl

    Hey, my sun-eyed girl

  • loooooooove

  • nice video, with a MAD magazine touch

  • it sounds like "sun-eyed"

  • I agree. People say it's cyanide, but I don't see why he'd write it like that. Not for the first verse, at least, cause it's more pleasant than the depressing second verse. The second verse makes sense that it'd be cyanide, but I'm not sure. Still I think and I'd like for it to be "sun-eyed."

  • I think I've read somewhere he mumbled something. If I had to pick I'd choose cyanide.

  • It doesn't sound anything like cyanide. I asked Beck himself. Sun-eyed girl was his response. Truth.

  • First I thought it was "summer girl" then I heard it was "sun-eyed girl" and now I see it's "cyanide girl"

    Ah! Is it sun-eyed or cyanide?

  • its cyanide girl- i read its about a serial killer

  • pure genius

  • Haha the pinata part is so funny! This is a great song! I had almost forgotten about this song until I heard it the other day. "Heeey! My suneyed girrrrlll!"

  • This song is beyond words, another musical masterpiece.

    I love Beck.

  • i love the part in 0:38

  • ii LoOve this song!!!!!! ^^

  • scientologist

  • i still like his music, that scientologist can sing!!

  • Beck gives me faith that theres still some real music out there.

  • Beck is the KING of alt. rock!!

  • beck intensionally left that word out in lyrics in the cd booklet. its hard to tell in the studio version, but if you listen to it live it is cyanide girl.

  • couldn't find what u were talking about. Could u full me in on what lyrics to what song? thanks?

  • i thought it was sun eyed girl

  • me to

  • I had CC on my tv on, and it said sun eyed so i just sang that D;

  • Cool!

  • The Beck pinata at 1:40 made me laugh.

  • hahaha beck with mexicans.... shit looks amazing....

    great song....

  • actualy, it's kind of his heratige(I think) you'll often find bits of spanish in his songs.

  • i love this song!..they actually filmed it in my hometown in east la..n in hollenback park in front of my cousins house...cool song

  • I love the affects and the way it makes a tiny reference to his other song "Where it's at." on 2:26 just plain awesome.

  • he is using a steel slide on his acoustic. simple and cheap, but you can make some sweet effects

  • CUTE.

  • una figataaaaaaa!!!!!!!

  • this video has the coolest effects!

  • Does anyone know when beck is touring? I really would like to know

  • hes on tour in japan right now but he hasn't announced any new American dates

  • One of Beck's best in my opinion except for cell phones dead and orphans.....and modern guilt.

  • Beck is my hero!

    this clip reminds me of some TV commercial of (I guess) PC.

  • who's the idiot "thumb-downing " comments..?

  • In some website it's ''my summer girl'' =)

  • There are many more sources that will tell you sun-eyed than cyanide :)

  • hey my cyanide girl

    beck-the shit

  • its actually "My Sun-Eyed Girl" just thought you should know BECK RULES WOOT!!

  • beck is the fucking man! I just found the sickest mix he made for his wife's fashion label. I'm frickin obsessed!!!!! it's on whitleykros(dot)com but how do I get it off the site? anyone?

  • you can run windows movie maker and do narrate timeline while playing the audio

  • Lol.

    It's "My sun-eyed girl"

  • lol i love how people that dont know the lyrics try to make them up XD

  • If you look up the Lyrics it is .Hey, My cyanide girl

  • Lol. Everyone does that. We all want to hear something different I guess.

  • Art Fags Unite! I love this shit! - 40+ Stoner

  • Beck looks alot like that actor from Superbad Micheal Cena

  • He kind of does in this video i never noticed that man

  • .... i thought he says, "MY SON, A GIRL.."

    there's a way to screw up your kid.

  • i thought it was my southern girl...

  • I wonder what it's like hanging out with Beck. He seems cool as fuck!

  • did anyone else notice that at 00:38 it makes a skull? or was that plainly obvious

  • haha i didnt notice the skull.... i first read your comment, then i played the video again and noticed it lol
