This song is about Robots taking over the world with their superior dance moves.
"Lives and White Out, turn the lights out"
What he is saying is that while robots are taking over, they must make sure that Humans are unaware of the robot take over by ending the lives of those who are suspicious, like white out removes spelling errors. "Now I'm cleaning the floor, my beat is correct" he is saying that because he is so good at dancing, the robots are being cleaned off the dance floor.
His videos are always so genius too. Hey I just found out his wife Marissa started a clothing line and Beck did the drawings for the tshirts! I got the guitar one and it's rad. check it out its WhitleyKros(dot)com
They were prototypes from Sony called QRIO. They never made it to production and the program was cancelled in 2006. The choreography for this video took programmers 3 weeks to complete. Pretty epic.
I'm definately feeling this song. Totally not normally my thing, but I guess my taste is evolving. like "skeleton boys hyped up on purple" and "perfunctory idols rewriting their bibles"...it just seems so crazy. Its the perfect song to play in the car on the way to a party or something.
I really wish Sony hadn't discontinued development of that little guy. I would not have had a problem dropping 5 or 6 thousand on one of those. I coulda trained him to get stuff off of low shelves for me and whatnot.
I love that we use our technology to develop dancing robots, and I'm not being sarcastic. They can walk up stairs also! I really can't wait for a robot pal of my own. Granted it will probably cost 1,000,000 or more, but who wouldn't want one??
If you don't like Beck you're a conformist asshole? So, what, I should conform to non-conformism and like Beck, which will then make me a cool unique individual...just like everyone else?
Skewing the english language does not make you intelligent and edgy. It just makes you gimmicky. Not to mention he's a scientologist. Hell, he was hard enough to take seriously before that.
Applying that same ridiculous logic to why you think Beck is a bad artist Setzuo, because his songs have "no meaning" (it's called surreal lyrics), than I could say that Beck purposefully gives his songs no meaning so they could actually have meaning and therefore be the most meaningful songs in existence in the category of no meaning. Maybe he does do that on purpose, who knows. But obviously you've never heard the album Sea Change, no human being can listen to that album without tearing up.
I'm smoking reality, it's quite good. I'd offer some to you but I don't think you'd be able to handle it. I was mocking that ignorant dumbass who claimed that Beck's songs have no meaning, and that somehow makes them bad songs. It's bad enough that you're too much of an idiot to comprehend sarcasm but then you go and post a comment basically saying "I'm too dumb to understand what you said, why do you have to confuse me so?". The part about Sea Change is the god honest truth though.
Yea it's not your fault you're a blithering idiot either, I'd blame your dumbass parents for raising such a dumbass kid. And since nobody cares what fuckheads like you think, that makes your opinion of this video void. "chillax"...you're a fucking waste of air.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Because personal taste describes intelligence, does it?
Sorry, man, you took the bait. Hook, line and sinker. You made some kind of idiot comment about ideology as if some kind of great meaning hinged on your comment when someone was making their own personal observation.
That means that you have an overly strong emotional investment in the music and an inability to understand the perception of others - both highly childlike traits.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Nope, wrong again. I judged your lack of intelligence by your inability to understand my sarcasm and by using words like "chillax"; like I said before I could care less what your opinions are on anything, including music. Plus the fact that you're whining on a Beck music video about how much you hate Beck proves you're a moron anyway. That's cute that you tried to do the whole "I'm not really stupid - surprise!" thing though.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I didn't even check your posts before the one I replied to. It was just so fucktarded and full of itself that I had to, though, you were too good a target.
In any case, keep whining all you want. I was here to troll you and I got you good, so you're just providing further entertainment for me.
irving is a little off base, but it is insulting to others when you completely discredit music because you think it is crap (unless it truly is). Music is made out of ones own creativity and to be enjoyed, long story short, you no likey you no listen.
Also you don't conform to non-conformity you retard, have you never heard the phrase "Be Yourself"? That's what Beck does and that's why he's one of the most respected musicians on the planet.
And Beck was born into Scientology so what the fuck are you talking about before he was a scientologist.
Listen It is a statement from southpark about how It is fully impossible to be a non-conformist because their are over 6,000,000 people on earth. Hell your conforming When you say you like beck because there were probably thousands of people who liked beck before you and more than you.
OMG!
I SO have to get one of these robots!!!
I'd name it "Mexican." That way I could say, "Pick that up, Mexican!" And it woudl do it!
Because Mexicans do productive things - which is why I could never name my robot "Negro!

Unfortunately Sony cancelled the whole SDR program in 2005 (so those robots called QRIO now are either sitting collecting dust or worse).
Each would have cost approx. the same as a luxury sedan (so like $30,000-60,000).
Only about 100 were ever made.
