Beck - Deadweight

[SmittyHeWasNumber1]

There is movie with pieces of a artist performance here? If I were gonna promote a movie with my music I would perform in the video and leave a trailer at the end.

[MrHandfromEbay]

don't be disrespectful to Beck.

[Nightmike1989]

If you ask me, this bridged Odelay with Mutations, paved the way for sure.

[babybunny3077]

If you like this kind of music you'd probably really like Beasie Boys' Hello Nasty album. A lot of electrical stuff and great rhythm like a lot of Beck's really good stuff.

[babybunny3077]

This is one of the best songs ever made in the history of the world. I haven't heard this in years and have had it in my head for the past few days and I don't even know why. So glad it's here.

[sladikk]

This is what inspired Nathan Barnatt

[erikabonsai]

yeeey!!! desde que tengo 9 anios no escuchaba esta cancion!!! :'D al fin la encontre! esos si son anios de gloriosa musica!!!

EXCELENTE CANCION Y VIDEO :)

[RapeableDonkey]

Did he wrote this for the movie, or this song was just picked for it?

[pacguy19]

@RapeableDonkey I believe he wrote it specifically for the soundtrack.

[babybunny3077]

@RapeableDonkey Yes, this was written for the Life Less Ordinary soundtrack. I used to have it when the movie first came out. This was on the original soundtrack for that movie.

[aerialgymnast10]

I like when his shadow is dragging him!

[HeyBuddyGotALight]

the lyrics alone are enough to put you on a trip

[ButteredInfant]

lol @ 1:06

[Satellitegirl41]

Great song, Great movie. Need to watch it again soon. 

[sylentnoir84]

wow im surprised not more ppl listen to this song. awesome track and awesome movie.

[Djvdzss]

The 90's sucked but Beck is cool!

[evcYankees]

@Djvdzss the 90s sucked? FUCK you

[adrianfumi]

@evcYankees You guys that come on youtube to say the most stupid shit makes me laugh my ass off... You make it seem as though Djdzss fucked your mom... Hahahaha Go back to the back woods you stupid hillbilly. You continue to prove society right.

[evcYankees]

@adrianfumi um... i think you replied to the wrong person

[tpman2]

fuck i miss the 90's



[burningburney94]

he kind of looks like my brother in this video.

[iisthedude07]

Oh shit, walking drums... YES!

[biglew7D5]

7 people let the sun catch them cryin

[osufan77]

@biglew7D5 You know?

[layitonmenow]

Was not aware of this song as it was not on any albums and I never saw this movie... Great video! Love Beck!

[spacefreak09]

Hell yes, I love 90s music! 

[juegomivida]

Sometimes I feel like in this video ... in the wrong place

[nameless591]

Michel Gondry is my fucking hero!

[TWSftw]

@spacefreak09 I thought I was the only one.

Lmao

[rhawke805]

A parasites appetite

[SPORTSNUTIM]

First time hearing this song I don't realize what I was missing!

[ceci1974girl]

the movie was not that good but the song kicked major ass!!!!

[dreekd80]

This song so brings me back to the late mid-90s. Good times mixed with badness. Strangeness for sure. Formative years unarguably.

[spacefreak09]

I didn't know that Michael Cera was in this video?

[spacefreak09]

Do do do do do do do--words can't describe the awesomeness of this 90s gem!!!!

[MagnusCleopatra]

gondry

[FatGamer11]

what movie are those clips from?

[johnwolfe]

a life less ordinary



[HammerOvThor]

I want that white suit so bad.

[SuperMv73]

soo... confused...still...music...awe­some...

[hash247365]

@SuperMv73 this video actually makes a whole lot of sense. The beach is his office and the office is his beach. Oh and he also hallucinates clips of the moive "A Life Less Ordinary."

[SuperMv73]

@hash247365 thx

[oterrivelivan]

Great artist!!!

[bondagebreaker7]

I'm glad he managed to get his life back to normal at the end - must have been a relief

[bondagebreaker7]

what is up with the drum machine?

[gustavo34787]

such a creative video, the scenes with the shade taking beck its amazing: lot of meanings there

[dreekd80]

what the fuck is "trolling" anyway? I've heard of this shit, but I don't know what the hell it is. So, what is it? Anybody?

[djangledoobledangus]

@dreekd80 I think it's someone who just goes from video to video attempting to make the same arguments, usually about a particular specified topic such as music, movies, religion, politics, etc., because they have no life.

So if I watch a bunch of videos by different guitarists, for example, just to make comments about their mistakes or how so and so from such and such a band is a way better guitarist then I'm "trolling."

That's how I figure it.

[dreekd80]

@djangledoobledangus you're right. Anyone who would take the time to do that has no life.

[ThraxxNecro]

What the fuck is going on.

[ScrewLimbBizkit]

@ThraxxNecro

YOU DIDN'T FUCKING TROLL ME ASSHOLE

0/10 SHITTY TROLL NOT EVEN MAD

[BeepTestPage]

@ScrewLimbBizkit And then Mathew Danger Oviedo showed up

[connorthesaucejones]

this is what happens when beck trips

[Britishfilmlover]

THIS IS BRILLIANT....I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR SOMETIME...CHEERS...GREAT GROVE....CHEERS AGAIN

[kaliche300]

sunday sunset...

[quetaclub]

no me canso de escucharlo !!!!!!!!!!

[BeeDotSix]

what album was this off of again?

[TheEloeo]

@BeeDotSix No album. It's a stand-alone single, featured on the soundtrack for "A Life Less Ordinary". Imo it would fit on "Mutations" perfectly.

[thecityspiders]

.....is it me? or does Beck look a-lot like David Bowie in this video?

[despicablenerd]

@thecityspiders

Im a massive bowie fan. Beck doesnt look like bowie but he produces lyrics in a similar way ie stringing random words together into lyrics and making them into a good song!

[BOURBONAT3RR]

@thecityspiders don't insult beck like that

[thecityspiders]

@BOURBONAT3RR Sorry if it seems like I was intentionally insulting Beck,but the style of cloths and look were reminding me of several of Bowie's outfits and hair styles.

As for Bowie in general; I love David Bowie's work and range of styles , many other artists have picked that up and worked with it and it is awesome!! ...Beck borrows styles like a kid with a vivid imagination taking from many things people can identify with{don't get me wrong beck is not childish;who could accuse him of that?}

[MultiSulliman]

i love how when he's packing in his room the wallpaper is pictures and the picture frames have wallpaper in them

[WOCFOD]

An anagram of Beck is Kebc

[CreeMetis]

Fuck you VEVO

[dmwilson0101]

I love this song It takes me back every time I hear it.

[lilboybrown]

omg.. gondry is king

[oitchy]

Good advert. Might buy it. Won't get caught crying...

[MightyZarkon]

This is it! I have been looking for this song since 1998- never knew the artist, stupid radio stations! Now there's no end to how many times I will play it -hah!

[zooyorll]

I stop having bad trips when I listen too BECK

[curtsher11]

@zooyorll roflol....what a statement :D

[OliHorsleyMedia]

Beck and TV on the Radio need to get together, maybe Bowie can join in aswell, all awesome musicians.

[grungegopher]

This is Beck's best song. Totally under-rated.

[jacobtakeup]

the beach IS hard work but lifting a car is effortless

[Burt472]

Beautiful. The guy is one of the most remarkable Musicians of the last 20 years.

[TamJGreen]

this makes me want to roll and bob my head around like a loon in a good way

[osochapin]

nice mary trip

[vindicadre]

Still haven't figured out what any of his songs are talking about, but man do I love Beck

[panycirce]

VEVO rules!

[Xxd4dexX]

@panycirce You sir are an ignorant fuck. VEVO is not a good thing, VEVO does not rule. do you like corporations taking over and regulating the internet? but man hey, if you're a coorporate cock sucker then let me be the first to say FUCK YOU!

[21jksmith21]

@Xxd4dexX Please don't feed the trolls...

[christinegoetz]

thanks for the synopsis of metropolitan life...looking at it for what it is

[christinegoetz]

thanks for the synopsis of metropolitan life

[dubconor]

are the clips with ewen and the blonde one from a film or for the video clip

[ev1342]

i didn't mean to sound like a jerk. it's just that i've noticed a lot of people claiming that songs are about religion when they are actually about something completely different. a lot of times if people know a little about the person singing, you can tell what the singer is trying to say.

ps. this very seldom works with beck because his lyrics are so out there.

[RAZOR303AL]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! The video, much respect and ups, as always from Beck's visual interpretations. As for the song, probably the best riddled interpretation of the character of the man who's lost in the end times... Seriously, if any of you listeners know the bible, specifically Revelation and Timothy, you will see this song is as a parable to them. Most all of Beck's music is not just laid out. One must think it on through.... BIG ups to anyone else who's noticed.

[ev1342]

@RAZOR303AL are you saying that beck has hidden christian messages in his songs? i highly doubt that because he is a scientologist

[RAZOR303AL]

@ev1342  I hear what I hear... I will lay it out , at least I can if you'd prefer... No disrespect of course. Thanks for the info. I had no idea. I don't really keep up with alot of artist's faiths.

[connorthesaucejones]

hard to believe beck was once homeless

[enginelord]

gotta love some of the concepts in this video... like him carrying a car

[despicablenerd]

Stop whining about the ads you can kill them with adblock plus a addon for version 2 firefox. All i see is a 'gay' little picture on the side of some of the videos most of the time i see nothing though :P

[MrAlltiedup]

3:32. Really, George? George, put the car down.

[MrAlltiedup]

LOL. 

[bitzky77]

FUCK VEVO. INTERRUPTING MY YOUTUBE IS NOT A GOOD BUSINESS TACTIC..YOU WANT PEOPLE TO LIKE YOUR COMPANY. FAIL.

[3soccerstars]

I think I saw Catalina...

[syllingjr]

Dear Vevo, Let me start by saying that your filthy dick-rich corporation sucks youtube dry of democracy and fun. Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their shit...etc, we have been getting flagged for infringement every time we include a song we like in our videos. This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos.To people who want greedy corporations expelled indefinitely from youtube - thumbs up and copy this into Vevo videos.

[Pokey313]

Brutha be trippin =P

[AzumangaDaioh1fan]

I want Beck to randomly show up at a movie theater I'm in.

[cocochanell7]

the need a love button instead of like beacuse i love this song and video

[GustaveKwak]

a life less ordinary is definitely one of the coolest 1990s movies EVAR!!!!

[aforcevids]

Why are there so many scenes from a life less ordinary?

[red6548]

@aforcevids moron. lol.

[aforcevids]

@red6548

I haven't seen the movie.... I'm a big danny boyle film and this is one of his only movies i haven't seen...

[MrAlltiedup]

@aforcevids Becuase this was a song in the film, and when Beck wanted to give the song its own music, he chose to incorporate the movie into his music video in a creative way.

[MrAlltiedup]

@aforcevids Becuase this was a song in the film, and when Beck wanted to give the song its own music video, he chose to incorporate the movie into his music video in a creative way.

[usedfuzzbox]

Great tune, shit movie

Oh, and before I forget, Die Vevo Die!

[Zem0nkey]

@balcky666 Dear balcky666, let me start off by saying you are even more selfish and greedy then them. Atleast VEVO is paying to get what they want. You want to post your videos and let youtube cover the bandwidth costs just so you can skip a 3 second advertisement. You want everything, and you want it free. Thumbs down balckys comment and copy and past his mouth shut

[yunistar]

Tan raro como solo lo pueden hacer Beck y Gondry, genial!

[broncobilly63]

Its so abe normal

[robotxhuman]

ugh you guys, why is beck so freakin amazing and his videos are always amazing and his albums are always amazing??

[ZcorrectTheory]

...I want this to be on Adult Swim... the song is perfect.

[Sharky2290]

opposite world(y)

[felipenxxd]

is this supposed to be a head nod to serge gainsbourg's "la horse"? i searched it but nothing came up on google

[smartalec1998]

i think this video means me.... im always in the wrong place doing the wrong thing

[grandmasterdeafchild]

Drum kit robot ftw!

[chrishaven76]

I saw this movie on October 28, 1997 my one year anniversary with Melaine Hayslip. The movie sucked but this song is epic. O the times I had with that girl October 28,1996-August 1999.

[smartalec1998]

@chrishaven76 uuhhhh...... we dont care

[LordAmbitious]

@ 2:42

EWAN MACGREGOR?!

[Rockvoxxx]

One of my fave Beck songs, you can never pin down that dudes style, he's all over the place, one day he's Dylan, next day he's Prince. He's beyond bad ass.

[bekki650]

@Rockvoxxx He's pretty cute when he does his dance moves, too.

[chickennone]

fuck scientologist

[welldonefromhereon]

I'm so paidddddd

[Drugstorecowgirlca]

Beck's music is so indivdualistic. This song is one of his best. It should have gotten more notoriaty,

[syd6ful]

major major trippa !

[axumblade]

@MrColdplaysucks

This was on the soundtrack for a movie called A Life Less Ordinary. That's why the video has Ewan McGregger (sp) and Cameron Diaz in it.

[mewrth]

Who can recognize le drum beat from the end of "In a Gadda Da Vidda" at 4:08 ?

Thumbs up if you do /=)

[PauIHackett]

Vevo blows serious chunks.

[goyoelpollo]

2:34 looks like jhonny depp

[ShallWeCuddle]

I love how people try to describe themselves with other people's originality, relate to it, don't claim it.

[DreamFactory91]

Best song ever!  Best video ever!

[mjkucharski]

i hate it when my shadow walks me around.

[SonicAdolescent]

Great musician, Great song, Great video.

[thetinys13]

id be trippin if i had an office job too.

[MrScip1985]

vevo is fucking pointless and shit

[thetinys13]

@MrScip1985 hey dude if you were making millions of dollars on doing absolutely nothing you'd be pretty god damn happy.

[scip0131]

@thetinys13 hey dude, go fuck off

[zwanso]

WALKING DRUM SET IS SO EFIN NASTY :)

[Tronchitina]

Quintessential 90s, love it.

[bloodonthesnow]

the shots without beck are all pretty much from the movie "a life less ordinary" with ewan mcgregor and cameron diaz... this song is used a lot in it.

[BrentHutchinson1]

this is the best

[c64c64c64]

didn't say enough in my comment last time.

this video lives with me. This video personifies exactly what it feels to be not nuts:

we laugh because its opposites, and we can see the joke... Anyone who finds this video weird or is confused by it, is actually a complete nutter- like most people i guess ha

[thetinys13]

@c64c64c64 haha well said

[randyflash1]

Another genius track with a suitablely brilliant video from Gondry, hope he does something new soon!!

[c64c64c64]

impossible to watch this video without chuckling

[poekieana]

i ponovno vevo-croatia fans

[Sabored]

This is when he wasn't beck beck, but jazz beck, get mad at me all you want but i like jazz and beck was great at it, and i prefer this more than beck beck

[nephroncavity]

@Sabored Jazz Beck?

[Sabored]

@nephroncavity check out the video " Beck Where It's At Live 9-6-1997 New York,NY" His personality is so much different

[nephroncavity]

@Sabored Respect the Beck! No matter what incarnation, he's the best at what he does.

[Sabored]

@nephroncavity Don't get me wrong, beck is great, but i think he was better in this energetic personality compared to his down low personality

[DreamFactory91]

@Sabored All Beck is "Beck Beck".

[Sabored]

@DreamFactory91 There's a huge difference between odelay and sea change

[DreamFactory91]

@Sabored I see what you mean, but he's an experimental artist. Sure, Odelay was different than Sea Change, but Midnite Vultures and Mellow Gold are different too, and so are Guero and Modern Guilt. With Beck, no two albums ever sound the same, but they all sound like Beck.

[royalkad]

classic of beck music good song

[matamann563]

what is that actors name with cameron dias

[SinlessXCVII]

@matamann563 ewan mcgregor 

[Whatwon1]

Goddamn VEVO!!!!!!!
