@nogermsplease Hmmmm....not hearing that. It's a common drum and base you will hear in many songs. It's not like Billy Jean though. The time signature is diffreent too.
@werdy18 It's the same time signature - 4/4. It's also the same tempo, more or less... I am referring to the groove that starts at 0:18, yes? It's odd, perhaps it's just me, but I really think that it's almost identical, texture-wise...
@nogermsplease Yep.My bad. Not the same time signature (most are 4/4 unless your into Jazz, then a lot of 3/4). What I meant was tempo. However, the more I listen to it, I do hear it now a little. I hear many other chords and riffs that remind me of other musicians when I listen to Beck. I hear MJ in other songs too and I hear Zep here and there. Many times I think "this totally reminds me of so and so." I don't think he's ripping them off, I just think his musical influences show up.
My favorite song by far from him... I picture a scarecrow singing this on the front porch of his home right before the kids walk up for Halloween trick-or-treating.... lol :)
I remember first hearing this song whist traveling across America in June 2010 in a van between the deserts of Utah and Arizona and liking it instantly coz it seemed to suit the surroundings
Just busted this album out again for the first time in a while. I'd been going for this certain sound in my own recording and upon hearing this song the realization dawned on me that DAMN... Beck did that shizza in 2005. Chump.
I heard this song 3 days ago at a Boston Market. I heard that creepy opening and I just shouted out "Beck!". A couple people looked at me. lol Luckily the place was pretty empty.
I like how spooky the beginning of the song sounds

I picture a scarecrow dancing like a madman, with crows bobbing their heads to the music around him. This song deserves a music video.
