the beat is commonly known as the "Amen" beat. it was originally written in 1969. first sampled in the 80's by many rap artists (too many to count) then became the backbone of drum and bass, and breaks culture. (again too many to count) Beck is just one of a long line of samplers. As for the chorus, He may be the original writer of that and only that, if someone sampled him, or "copied" him, well Beck, you reap what you sow.
i heard sumwhere that at the start of the vid when he takes the blur off his face, hes rly wearing a stormtrooper helmet that they blurred. how awesome is that lol
First folk/rap song in history, with a Delta blues sitar. Post-modern "talking blues." Beck's commentary on trashy post-modern culture, lots of references here: music censorship ("Ban all the music", etc.
Agree! Definitely the same for England... Although, the reason I'm listening to this song right now is because I heard it on Radio 2 today! I love Beck, such an amazing artist...
Actually its incorrect spanish. The proper way to say Im a loser in spanish is :"Soy pededor" not "Soy UN pededor", that makes no sense in spanish. Its like saying :"Im a married" in english instead of "Im married"
Actually "soy un perdedor" is correct......otherwise you would be saying "I'm loser"....soy=i am, un=a, perdedor=loser............soy perdedor is incorrect, so the song was correct.......sorry i had to clear that up.....
you should learn spanish before you assume that it is the same as english. you dont translate word for word from one language to another. Soy Un Perdedor doesnt make sense in spanish. You dont use the word "a" or "an" when describing a personality trait or perfession in spanish according to any romantic language rules (italian, french, spanish, etc). Therefore to say "Im a loser" in spanish you would ommit the word "un" so it becomes "soy perdedor". Sorry to clear that up for you.
Are you Spanish speaker? As when I did search, I only get clear results for "Soy un perdedor" and on youtube there are a lot of Spanish songs titled: "Soy un perdedor" but I don't know, I'm just curious what is correct.
Soy un perdedor means someone that is nobody worthless pathetic with no purpose in life. Actually a loser Soy perdedor - Doesnt make any sense with the song it self because it means someone who lost something; like in a contest
This sentence answers the question. Who is a loser? Or Are you a loser?
The same question in Spanish Quien es UN perdedor? Or Eres tú UN perdedor? The answer will be yo SOY UN PERDEDOR or Si, yo SOY UN PERDEDOR. That is why this is 100% correct and makes sense.

you might want to change it to "perdedor" that's how it's spelled. Better yet, leave it like that it makes it seem like you really live up to all your status implies! lol
no the people in the graveyard doesnt bother me, ive done worse shit than that in a graveyard lool. i think its funny, and you shouldnt take it so seriously. lighten up...if you live life too seriously you wont make it out alive.
I know that "soy un perdedor=I`m a loser, I`m talking about the philosofical meaning( :D ja, ja, if it has one ) for example: "In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey",it could mean : I lived in a world full of stupid people, but I was a strange stupid guy.I don`t know .....whatever
Could somebody expline me this song because if you translate it to spanish, it doesn`t mean anithing. I think it speaks with slang or maybe it refers things happened at that year
well, beck doesn't really follow all of the strange beliefs of scientology. he really only joined it because of the charity work that they do. they set up hundreds of free education centers for poor kids, and they have drug rehab facilities with great reputations. other than that, i really can't stand scientology or the thought of it.
