Beck - (David Letterman) - Jackass (Live)

[fredwilcox93]

He's so cool. Anyone else gets on stage looking like that and you dismiss him. When its Beck your thinking... "man, this guy is SOOOO cool."

[btreefingers]

what a touching performance!

it's too bad people have to make comments about superbad.

[allaboutdatGDA]

he was in superbad

[pueblollblack]

@allaboutdatGDA yeah!! it's true

[LivvyLooification]

i just love him so much

[charliechapstick3000]

Look at Beck! hahahaha omg!

[bjornwad]

Beck is annuciating like David Bowie on Soul Train.

[luckygreen17]

yea and probably over 50 percent of people don't know anything about music and could give less of a shit about that they have the attention span of a bug look how much music has changed it keeps getting shittier and shittier at least main stream stuff

[luckygreen17]

if beck were underrated he wouldn't have sold millions of records around the world or be a three time grammy winner or win album of the year with sea change from rolling stone or countless other wins and nominations this is a good thing that he isnt on the radio and all over mtv because the only thing that is played on the top 40 radio station is garbage and we all know what mtv has become over the past decade

[MultiKippy]

@luckygreen17 he is underatted in the way that he is liked purely for catchy songs and not understood for the true meaning of his songs and why he is accually great. Also with how innovative he is with his music and how experimental was at the time/is now.

[guzmanjhonny22]

this kncion xvr

[NoRegretsForOurYouth]

My favorite Beck song.

[nclaxer81]

don't bring radiohead into this negatively! i'd hate to contrast two of my favorite artists. there's simply no need to argue the greatness of each individually



[nsalty91]

Radiohead is garbage compared to Beck.

[FatherofMan25]

@nsalty91 haha no.

[lien0569]

3 dislikes?? I'm convinced somebody sits around all day disliking things on youtube just for the fun of it, the sick bastard.

[zoidsvstherichies]

if they ever do a movie about beck they should use michael cera to play him. 

[elvarfreyrelvarsson]

@zoidsvstherichies DEFINITELY :)

[noburningbushes]

@zoidsvstherichies Uhhh nah. Becks a looker, Cera looks like a dickless bird 

[hammeron39]

@zoidsvstherichies I, d like to see him play himself in a movie , I met his famous father in the early 1970-s , the smartest man I ever met , . . see his portfolio , it is as amazing as the sons , but larger ,

[waaaters]

Why do people always have to mention shit artists/products on every frikkin good music video on youtube? It feels like I am committing thoughtcrime when I read the names of those products that should not be called by name, hah

[Ronaldinho10MJ23]

he looks like da skinny guy from SUPERBAD

[MrJ314]

@quicky2103 beck may be underated but i like it better this way. Beck knows how he can cash like all of those other artists but instead he says i'm a talented musician and i'm gonna make an album better than you've ever heard. Every couple years. If you like it come to me. Its a strange invitation. Beck doesn't have a disney show and i'm greatful for that.

[22jakev]

A mix of Michael Cera and Dylan. Amazing

[goodvibesallround]

Hahaha he wants to be bob dylan so bad!

[mememango2244]

Yeah Beck is way underrated, I love him. Great music. But not everyone likes this kind of music, everyone has a different taste in the music they listen to, if you don't like Beck you don't have to listen to him, if you like to listen to the stuff I think is crap go ahead. We shouldn't care, if we all liked the same kind of music the world would be a boring place, why are you knockin' on the people who like Lil Wayne etc... Whatever floats their boats, lets leave it at that.

[TheEloeo]

For fuck's sake. Stop calling Beck underrated.

[ManicNirvana90]

Beauty

[Szuba1394]

He's my favorite scientologist, which puts me to about one.

[clemdarlingmusic]

This is probably one of my favorite beck songs of all time.

I've actually been trying to model some of my music around these types of Beck songs (also his songs from Mutations and Sea Change). I'd love to hear what you think-- check out my new music video on my channel.

[doriwiljt]

i have been a fan of beck since the first time i saw the 'loser' video on mtv back when they showed/played real music. this man is pure talent.

[bingstar316]

Hearing this (and the midnight cowboy theme tune) really make think if I can play the guitar I seriously should think about learning the harmonica...

[Duhbearz1]

one of the three men i would have sex with.......no homo.

[flymnky12]

Beck looks like the brother of the guy who got Juno pregnant.

[xmissingpeacex]

Great live performance, but he looks like he is about to go play tennis in the 1950s.

[deanhamilton]

WOW the Original Michael Cera!

[jimriceallstar]

@deanhamilton

Jesse Ceranberg

[tebe2k]

Strange Invitation = Burro = Jackass!

[ghosterdude]

sounds way too much like "another love song" form insane clown posse.

or the other way around

[johnnyBird512]

@ghosterdude Beck wrote this song first and ICP ripped it off horribly. But the spaced out loop that plays through the whole song is from It's All Over Now Baby Blue written by Them.

[Bozarkian]

@ghosterdude dang, you're right...

Jackass came out first though

[nicolaaaaaaaas]

Burro=jackass (L)

[Pornycionado]

is he having some kind of problems with his mouth organ on this?

[Terquilla]

Many people don't know Michael Cera once actually had success in the music business.

[PAULFC93]

Beck isn't underrated.....i fact he's very highly rated.....and justifiably so

[tomeeeee1]

Oh, hell this takes me back.  Livin' in Hawaii in the 90's tryin' to survive and not get the clap, haha :(

[downrodeo2112]

kind of looks like michael cera here

[Blood790]

his hair looks better there

[hazybear]

the bass player at 2:30, he just nods. "sing that shit, beck. yeah."

[l8tr597]

The " others" you say don't get playtime are NO WAY as talented as the "Beck" your Jonas brothers aren't getting enough?? U need more crap to listen too? My god the industry is shit now, hip hop shit stop! I'll take music from the early 90s over the drek we hear now

[mellamoaugusto]

this song allways makes me cry

[facer50]

Haha what, donkey noises at the end. Good one Odelay.

[thokeJackass]

wow letterman is so young, about 50!

[smickitysmack]

anyone esle notice he's got on reltively the same outfit as scott weilend during STP's unglued performance on this show in '94?

[importantwoman]

he kinda looks like an autistic 11 year old-but you gotta love em

[Nokiathrower]

makes me laugh

[guineapirate132]

why do i love beck so much?

[Familyguy1230]

cause you're a good person

[JonAndersonYES13]

You mean michael cera looks like him.

Retards he was like 8 when this was out.

[PaulAttacks]

my favorite song ...favorite version is the strange invitation track off of the jackass single

[vinorama58]

Absolutely brilliant! Awesome band. Beck rules.

[ImSHELLLL]

the way he looks doesnt match his voice

[ThePusherMan]

i like your band

[TheSasha555]

Holy shit! He looks like Michael Cera. Hahahah!

[purpleshoes]

woahhh he does !! haha

[HeyDropthat]

Hah! Good call!

[Somone23]

no he doesn't

[dullsvillain]

That little mastermind!.....he has gathered loose ends and made a strange invitation :D

[RichardBLongly]

bob cera. B\

[AfroZen]

The backing is Van Morrison's 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue'!

[jaredneedsalife]

its van morrisons version of the bod dylan song its all over baby blue that is sampled , actually.

[KrazyKuul111]

wow, short hair lol

he looks so young, and this is so old too cuz letterman introduces odale

I like when beck comes back and plays when borat is on too... nausea

[mrfudgeyhead]

Woah, mindfuck

Short hair? Woah.

And you're kidding right quicky?

Beck's incredibly appreciated, all of it deserved, but everyone knows him.

Rightly so, but then again, I do live in California.

But our music scene sucks anyway, so to think they'd still like great stuff like Beck.

Truly amazing.

[MojitoJane]

this is incredible and it is probably about 12 years old. :0

[StFace123]

omg how old is this!?

[quicky2103]

Beck is probably one of the most underrated artists of our generation. A true mastermind

[elpoo]

he's quite highly rated actually.

[quicky2103]

Nope.....underrated

[sadkins83]

yea maybe to the kind of people that play keno at your local house of pizza haha...but definitely not under rated to those in the music biz.

[quicky2103]

those in the music biz that think Lil Wayne and the Jonas Brothers and Britney Spears should be on the radio and not artists like Beck? Yeah no doubt that musicians with talant know that Beck is the real deal. Unfortunately most record exects think artists like Rihana, MIA, and other crap groups should be the ones getting air play. SO ....like I said. Beck is way underated. To the people who come to this site to check out his music he is not, but to the rest of the world he is.

[thenormish]

@quicky2103 If everyone would quit buying that shit, it would go away. Parents start teaching your children from a very young age to have good musical taste. Too many people are not passionate enough about music to care. Most people are content with some bullshit beat or bass line in the back ground. Most people suck.

[musicmaniacmadman]

@thenormish my mom told me she played dark side of the moon for me when i slept i'm my crib. it actually worked.

[Chdosborn16]

@quicky2103 You don't know anything about music. How you have 10 likes for this video is depressing. Granted, I do think that Beck isn't played on the radio at all, other than Loser. But hey, I'm glad.

[TheAzv3]

@quicky2103 Music right now is plastic, it will change back to real, its a cycle.

[zanepolowek]

@quicky2103 The public picks whats popular, what sells gets on the radio, not whats good. thats the problem, people need music for short attention spans thats why all the music you hear on the radio you know the words after hearing it one damn time, its dumb downed music for the stupid ass masses.

[goodvibesallround]

@quicky2103 I used to hear Loser on the radio all the time, then they stopped playing it. Just the times dude.

[sprinterboy315]

Amen brother.

[giterdun77]

@quicky2103 nahh, Beck does just fine. Plenty of playtime, sales and tours.

There are plenty of other amazing artists that don't get the same level of major label attention out there...

[Nokiathrower]

@quicky2103

I think Supergrass was most.

[Lightningbaron69]

@quicky2103 Lets face it though Radiohead are better

[quicky2103]

@Lightningbaron69 Radiohead IS better. And yes, you are right...Thom Yorke is a god.

[noburningbushes]

@quicky2103 Where the fuck did Radiohead even come from here? If you ask me they get way too indulgent and soft at times. Nonetheless it has nothing to do with Beck

[quicky2103]

@noburningbushes Nobody asked you, and Lightinbaron69 brought Radiohead into the mix, so why are you asking me? As him next time. 

[LongDongSilver78]

@quicky2103 The BEST... Odelay was the SHIT!!!

[nethershadow1]

Amazing performance!

[renegaderadiofm]

such a multi-faceted musician....a pure soul...

[frus1994]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[blackalbino67]

for some reason, i think that would be a good and fascinating idea...

[larf06]

maybe Michael Cera will do a beck movie? lol

[itsukasa1]

Why not Beck be in a Michael Cera movie?

Is it 'cause he's too old?! Huh?!

D:<

[Gelon01]

Uh, they covered it, but "It's all over now, Baby Blue" is not by Them...It's a Bob Dylan song. He wrote it.

[bixlerzevala]

damn, diggin' them shoes hombre

[itsukasa1]

Lol.

[stevebeagle]

the sample is from a tune called it's all over now baby blue by the band " Them ". i do like how he uses it non the less.

[TheJohnMayor]

Michael Cera = Beck in disguise?

Who knew he could act to huh? That clever son of a bitch.

[Waffletamer]

Ha!

[kappser]

I have always thought the same thing. Kudos.

[itsukasa1]

Ha, same here....

[eraseyourself]

maybe in looks but face it michael cera is really not that good of an actor. he simply plays the same character, which seems like that is what he is really like, in almost everything he's been in.

[nerp23]

I love this song so much..reminds me of my first summer with a car..sunny days with the windows down listening to this..bliss:)

[AndrewAnthonyHyde]

Looks a little like Scott Walker here, doesn't he?

This is a very good song from "Odelay", it somewhat foreshadows the mood of his later album of slow songs, "Sea Change".

[snowgod37]

Beck looks childish like an imp.. great cover

[itsukasa1]

Cover? wat

[RatatRatR]

Must be thinkin' it's a Van Morrison cover...?

[itsukasa1]

o.O I have no idea who that is.. xD

[emptyNINE]

It's not a cover. He samples some from other songs, but that's about it.

[TheJohnMayor]

He looks like Michael Cera...

I can't take how much he looks like Michael Cera in this video.

I suppose it's more appropriate to say MC looks like Beck but yah....shit...

[eerieyellowlights]

AHhahah! Totally agreed! Micheal looks sooo much like Beck.... i mentioned this to my friends awhile ago and they all thought i was crazy.

Nice to see someone is as crazy as me.

[kappser]

He does look just like him.

[zeedi0]

God i love his harmnica sound

[neeters27]

he got a haircut?

when did that happen?

[TOWMStudios]

this is from 96

[itsukasa1]

I agree, he plays the harmonica very well.

[olivia720]

omg he looks so adorable. beck with super short hair.

[Bloogart7]

The piano is actually a sample from Them's version of the Dylan song. Nice ear.

And you're totally right--he looks dead on Michael Cera.

[MetalLink1979]

Oh god...your right...

[pepenores2]

well maybe if michael cera had an older brother

[babywithgun]

this sounds like "it's over now baby blue"by hole ,anyone has the seem feeling?

[Buyandsee]

You mean Bob Dylan right?

[CindyVision]

That song is covered by Hole as well, and it does sound similar to this song. However, another cover of the song has been done by Them (with Van Morrison) and sounds even more similar.

[Bloogart7]

The piano on the record version of the song is actually a sample from Them's version of "It's All Over." Nice ear.

[PitxiYo]

His voice reminds me bowie in this show!

[BEnnyQzhu]

young beck looks like michael cera in this vid lol

[MarkBrownSoccer]

i like how he does his voice like that in this song, u never hear him sound like this in any other beck song, right?

[gliccstudios]

thanks for putting this on. Do you know if this show was in '96 or '97?

[pueblollblack]

I think it was in 96 but I'm not sure!

[gliccstudios]

Thank you. now that i look at it i think you are right.

[bLoNdcHiLi]

it was 96

[sadisticbetty]

kittens are crazy about Beck.

[candykid5]

WOW THIS IS GREAT!! THANKS FOR PUTTING IT ON

>>>missed the last show on letterman on 10/9/08

wonder if you have it?

[tweetermkyman]

Holy shit, where did you get this? I remember watching this in High School.
