  • Mazana Girl

  • whoa, always thought it was summer girl....

  • Ha! I thought it was "sun hot". ???

  • omg people its "sun eyed girl " . how can so many people be missing that ?

  • The songs lyrics can be taken as happy or sad. depending on how you take it the chorus sounds different. I always thought it sounded like sun eyed girl but you can hear it however you want. I always liked to hear cyanide in it.

  • @brainless14 its sun-eyed. buy the cd, check the cover book.

  • wow O.O i always thought he said "my SUMMER girl!" i was wrong about so many of the lyrics.. this so is so much darker than i ever would have thought *~*

  • poisonous girl

    

  • 'My Zonite Girl'

    Zonite is a concentrated liquid douche preparation that leaves you feeling fresh, clean, odor-free and confident.

  • "summergirl"

  • I always thought I was "sonar"

  • The official lyrics actually state "My ... Girl". It's meant to be ambiguous. Whatever word you use could provide for a different interpretation.

  • @NPH37 no, buy the cd. in the cover book, the lyrics clearly say sun-eyed girl.

    I hate when people pretend they know what they're talking about.

  • This song reminds me of Joel David Moore for some reason. I guess it fits him lol

  • I thought it said "My son or girl" not cyanide..

  • @Noahblondheim2 "Sun-eyed girl. are you guys stupid........

  • That guitar in the background during the chorus is so amazing...

    Best part of this song.

  • I thought he said "my sort of girl" but the of sounding more like an "ah"

    also: pretty sure it's "steal a ride" and "make it right"

  • When he says "my...girl" there are only two syllables. It can't be "cyanide," because he only says two syllables. Beck does whatever he wants with words, but he's definitely saying "my sun-eyed girl."

  • i always thought he was saying jew jew in a laundry machine

  • i always thought he was saying "my southern girl" hahahah

  • It's made to sound like it's either. But do the people who hear "sun-eyed" consider the song happy or dark and twisted?

  • I always thought it was "summer girl," but God fuck it, apparently not. Alright, "cyanide" or "summer-eyed," that seems to be the consensus here. Got it, and thank you all!

  • This song is about Ted Bundy.

  • I was looking at the book with the lyrics that came with the album. It says, "My... girl" HE DOESN'T WANT US TO KNOW.

  • It's Sun eyed. But whatever...either way it's brilliant :D

  • So, I get the vibe that the lyrics sound vague intentionally? Everyone seems to hear one thing or the other, and I feel like Beck's the kind of guy who would do that on purpose.

  • it's SUN EYED GIRL.  geez!

  • i hear "my son uncle", wbu?

  • Ahhh, the first song that got me interested in Beck.

  • heh not laughing at ya but laughing near ya cyanide girl lol too funny yeah according to any lyrics site i've checked my sun-eyed girl. course i can't laugh too hard i was singing my summer girl to this song forever lol

  • my Sunoco. that's what i thought he was saying. I didn't know why Beck would sing about a gas station

  • @LzrdKng9000 lol

  • @LzrdKng9000 Have you ever read his lyrics? It's just a stream of obscure references just like that.

  • @LzrdKng9000 Iol I always thought it was some Japanese girlnamed Sunako

  • i dunno it does sound like suneyed, because when beck's singing, it is two syllables. cyanide is three syllables. regardless, i like to live with the illusion that it is suneyed.

  • 420 likes <3

  • i thought he was saying "hey, i saw that girl." its hard to describe what he's saying. lol

  • This song reminds me of a time in my life when I was truly happy :)

  • lol omg my history teacher plays this in the classroom all the TIME

  • @FFFKara Then you have the coolest teacher dude (Y)

  • @FFFKara you have one awesome history teacher, my friend.

  • DUDE THIS SONG IS SO MUCH SICKER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS

  • omg i thought he was saying my southern girl this whole time

    god im a dumb ass lol

  • @tavern2468 It's okay, I thought he was saying my summer girl. lol.

  • The text of the album cover reminds me of Sweet Movie.

  • its cynide i dont care whether you say it is or not it just is listen to the song im gonna make her die...... im mean really it just makes sense

  • i have been searching this song for many years lol

  • why would he say "my cyanide girl"??? makes no sence...im pretty sure its "my sun-eyed girl"

  • @spidermanfan793

    yeah. because all of becks lyrics make sense

    @everyoneelse

    ...its a song. listen to it. don't analyze it.

  • excuse me... but it's officialy "my sun-eyed girl"

  • @wasabihansen In the liner notes it says "My ..... girl" so for all we know it's complete jibberish.

  • ok l didn't know this song is from Beck. Been hearing this on a radio before :)

  • I think it's 'life', not 'eye'. I could be mistaken, but it sounds like(and makes more sense as) 'life'.

  • i wish the guerolito version was on youtube, i love that one

  • It's cyanide. Beck has a t-shirt on his website advertising 'cyanide breathmints'. It's a fake advertisement, of course, but I don't think any of his other songs say cyanide in them.

  • cyanide isnt even pronounced that way..

  • @MrChadthemonkey

    Sorry monkey, but musicians tend to pronounce things the way they want.

    It's cyanide. Listen to the lyrics..... and i know i'm gonna steal her life......and I know I'm gonna make her die.....these lyrics don't add up to "Sun-eyed girl."

    These are dark lyrics for a dark song but played with majors so it sounds happy and fun. I actually think the song is about a serial killer.

  • @MrChadthemonkey He changes a three syllable word into a two syllable word to make it fit..its going to sound different

  • its definately sun-eyed...

  • @MrChadthemonkey i think its just prefrence to be honest

  • Death Valley Sunshine Pop.

  • totally thought he was saying "my sunlight goes" not "my cyanide girl" when I heard this on the radio. Oops!

  • Part of the fun of Beck is his tripped-out lyrics. I, for instance, think he's saying "sun-eyed" girl. While "cyanide girl" sounds interesting, I prefer my more festive interpretation for such a bouncy, jolly song.

  • I always thought it was Grandma Moses, not Round the Roses. In fact, I was wrong about a lot of the lyrics.

  • @papalosopher lol thats funny..

  • I always thought it was Ganda Moses, not Round the Roses. In fact, I was wrong about a lot of the lyrics.

  • GREAT RECORD.......By Beck WRitten by JORDAN ALLRED

  • Beck makes such cool songs and videos.

    I actually just finished making a song/video that shares a similarly darkly comedic tone as this song. I'd be really interested to hear what you think of it-- check it out on my channel! Thanks!

  • FUCKING AWESOME! oops cap lock was on, oh well, maybe I meant to yell that. 

  • @stifoam  LOL CAPS LOCK! :)

  • Hah.. I used to think he was singing "sun-heart girl" instead of cyanide. ^_^ Now it makes so much more sense.

  • Random songs yet I've heard them somewhere before. Movies perhaps?

  • 7 people...

    ...apperently don't like this song. Huh.

  • definitely cyanide people, look/listen.. the lyrics are very very dark.

  • my cyanide girl <-- chorus

    California girls are boss!

  • my cyanide girl <-- chorus

  • with a noose she could handle the sun....

    This man is a genius.

  • @jsrl317

    Yeah he's a genius, too bad it's hang from the sun dear :D

  • song makes me wanna put on my suit and start moonwalkin... then @ 2:20 breakdancing

  • Manzana girl??

  • Love this song

  • this song reminds me of tarzan for some reason lol

  • All this time I thought "cyanide girl" was "sun-eyed girl" ... Was I completely alone on that one?

  • @Rockin88Keyz No I thought it was that too, and I'm still not entirely sure haha

  • Comment removed

  • @TollBoothWillie2 the lyrics he/she gets are from Beck's website.

  • @Rockin88Keyz maybe Beck's just fuckin' with our heads O.o

  • @Rockin88Keyz That's exactly what I thought it was too :s

  • Hey...my cyanide girl

    Hey...my son, a girl

    Hey...my sauna girl

  • This is the funkiest song ever!

  • 6 People were boys

  • You da man Beck

  • BECK BECK BECK BECK I LOVE YOU BECK BECCCCKKKK

  • Oh the nostalgia..

  • are you sure it's "My cyanide girl"?

    I always thought it said "My sun-eyed girl."

    I'm lost...

  • @repogirl20 and here i was thinking it was my sad-eyed girl.. but i think sun or cyanide may make more sense. i like sun the best :)

  • 6 people don't have a cyanide girl.

  • dont that guy who goes HEYYY sound like a black guy lol hese gotta be huge.HEYYY

  • great song.i have nvr herd anything like this

  • THE OC

  • why it says guerolito ??

  • Beck is gangster. I remember reading in "Entertainment Weekly" that he went into an L.A mexican restaurant with an acoustic guitar in the mid or late afternoon sometime, got in front of the restaurant with the guitar, and did a forty five minute set. When he was done he packed up his guitar and walked out without having said a word the entire time. Gangster genius. 

  • @kirkenbunken that sounds awesome

  • Beck rocks my world

    

  • Happy upbeat tune with dark dark lyrics.

  • Respect the chiptune. :D

  • yay

  • good man beck

  • Come check out the video-lyric at my channel!! :D

  • @multivitamins4all um....i believe the album name is "Guero," not "Guerolito"....

  • @xlted1 I know this is Guero. Where did I say this was Guerolito? Guerolito = Guero remix album

  • @multivitamins4all when the song info shows up in the bottom left hand corner (it says the artist, song title, and album) it says Guerolito instead of Guero...

  • @xlted1 Really? I have no idea why it'd do that dude, are you talking about the bottom left corner in the video? Cause I checked and I'm not seeing anything. The closest I see is a little note below the user log (or whatever you'd call it) but all it says is "Beck - Girl" with the word "Beck" being a link. Hmmm

  • @xlted1 lol also in the lyrics it says cyanide girl lol its sun eyed girl lol

  • @xlted1 yes it is Guero becuase i have the CD

  • @xlted1 yeah, it's just showing affection. Guerolito just means "little white boy XD"

  • @xlted1 Guerolito is a secondary release - a remix of Guero. There are two; both by Beck, same songs - actually more on Guerolito.

  • i love the intro! :D so cool

  • cyanide wouldnt even make sense though..i think its sun eyed

  • love the guitar part on this!

  • Summer 2005

    I'd just walked out on my girl. She didn't come home for 2 days, so I knew she'd shagged someone else. She confirmed it when she walked in, ran a bath & put her clothes straight in the washing machine! A dead giveaway.

    I spent the rest of that summer in my bedsit with no furniture, drinking, doin coke & listening to this on XFM, missing my mad, but beautiful girlfriend & our beautiful flat. It was the worst time of my life & this song reminds of it

    It's a brilliant song. Unique

  • Ok, this this what I think he is doing . Beck does in fact sing all three variations of the chorus but every time he changes the order. As far as I can tell it goes...

    Summer Girl

    Sun-eyed Girl

    Cyanide Girl

    Sun-eyed Girl

    Cyanide Girl

    Sun-eyed Girl

    Summer Girl

    Cyanide Girl....

    and so on in the same pattern.

  • Futurama??? hehe

  • Beck is just awesome. I wish more people knew about him! =D

  • i think we are ok on people knowing about him, he's only won about 60 mtv and grammy awards....but yes he is extremely awesome...notice how he always knows exactly when to add like a cat meow, or a car horn, or a robots voice, its uncanny

  • He's the cat's meow.

  • yeah really

  • damn this takes me back

  • This track is so fucking good.

  • Can't u see scooby and shaggy being chased by a monster(some dude in a monster costume)thanks guys

  • @k12backspace yea i can see it....lol

  • @k12backspace ok that is funny as shit and yes i can see that

  • @k12backspace You just blew my mind

  • @k12backspace

    LOL I can actually see that.

  • Lol same here, I haven't heard this song in SOO long. But hav ebeen loving it since the firt time.

  • first time i heard this (like 5 years ago) i thought for sure he said "my son i go" instead of "my cyanide girl"

    wtf? lol

  • yeah I feel yea on the whole sun-eyed/cyanide debate, its just every time i've seen or heard him live he always used cyanide girl, but then on some recordings it could sound like sun-eyed as well. Beck has never been known for being normal!! lol

  • the "cyanide girl" lyric is really evident if you have ever heard him live. you should go check some of his live performances or go see him...kicks ass man.

  • got some of the lyrics wrong bro, its cyanide girl, and its dark sunglasses not cheap.

  • Haha, you don't know how many times people have told me to change that. Mind you, I got these lyrics from Beck's official website, so I didn't spot the cheap part. About the whole cyanide/sun-eyed debate, i believe you, but on his site it was listed as "My ... girl". Must be his strange sense of humor!

  • @multivitamins4all I think he leaves the word "cyanide" out of the printed lyrics, so you have to decide yourself if it's that or "sun-eyed". I mean, it sort of sounds like a love song 'til you really listen to it. I think he slurs the word cyanide on purpose so it sort of sounds like sun-eyed. It does to me, anyway.

  • @multivitamins4all It has to be sun-eyed, because the word he sings is two-syllables, making cyanide incorrect as it has 3 syllables.

  • So addictive..need some more of this agian today :)

  • Beck 4 life

  • Comment removed

  • "The Dust Brothers"

  • wasn't there are anime about this band?

  • Wrong Beck, this is a solo musician, you're thinking of "Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad"

  • @crimsonshadow42 yea but its just the name thats similar =) nice call there man

  • I love the intro to this. :)

  • Beck really is a class A musician.

  • Does anybody know the chords?

  • this song makes me think about all of the girlfriends that i've ever had!

  • cyanide is a type of poisonous chemical. cyanide girl makes a lot of sense having ever known a female lol but sun-eyed could work to?

  • think its sun-eyed made do sound like cyanide as the two provide a paradox

  • He says "My Cyanide Girl" apparently. Really love this song, proper catchy. Beck is a legend!

  • how can none of you dumb fucks see that it says my sun eyed girl

    DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

  • Beck seemingly refuses to answer what he is singing in that moment. Just look at his website - it says "My ... girl". I don't have the album on hand but I suspect it says the same thing in the booklet. I agree in that I think it is "my sun-eyed girl", but you don't see me being an asshole in an attempt to prove a point on something which is completely open to interpretation.

  • theres a lot of debate on whether its Sun-eyed or Cyanide and Beck has never told us which is which so its anybodys interpretation, whoever wrote the descrition might be wrong

  • I think even on Beck's website it's written as 'my ... girl'. That's what I heard on the radio, anyway. A mystery to us all, I guess.

  • Why doesn't anyone just comment to say "I like this song!" Or "This song is so awesome..." ?

    I think this song is awesome and pretty addicting.

  • "i like this song"!

    and

    "This song is so awesome"!

  • i hear cyanide

  • Odelay, released in 1998 is also Spanish. Although it is mostly street slang. Beck would have only picked that word when he was younger since only kids use that word in southwestern and southern California cultures.

  • 1996

  • Maziena girl is possible since the album name is also Spanish. Beck supposedly was raised around Mexicans and barrios when he was younger in Los Angeles. Even his Wiki page says that about his life. I also was raised around hispanics in New Mexico so I can understand why he may have a love affair with Latin culture.

  • On my studio headphones its "my son-eyed girl"

    If he wants to leave it blank on his official website then believe whatever you want to hear because that is what he wants you to do, ie, put your personal spin on his song.

  • my sun eyed girl would make sense, coz he spends most of the song describing her, so the line, my sun eyed girl, would be just another description of her

  • Maziena girl

    or summat like that

  • I'm beginning to think he's just speaking gibberish ;)

  • cyanide girl, isn't it?

  • I'm not sure, like I said on Beck's site it was

    "my.... girl"

  • I am sorry! I did not listen to this when I posted it so I didn't realize the mess up in the lyrics. I thought I could trust it, as it was from Beck's site ;)

    "my..... girl"

    to

    "my sun-eyed girl"

  • my sun eyed girl !

  • love this song

  • really becks best song, or at least one of them. the song that made me a fan. thx for the upload

  • i agree...

    but at all..a great song...My Sun-Eyed Girl...

  • it simply doesent get better than this. the only minus i can think of is the dumb noises before the real music begins
