  • I listened to this album nightly with headphones, while drifting off to sleep...did not know this particular tune was used by Windows ME, cool. bahbah...baaaaaah :)

  • a no ma.. que nostalgia.. hasta México llega la nostalgia! XD.. cuando aun me emocionaba cambiandole los skins al windows media player XD

  • Reminds me of old times on my old computer haha.^^

  • Great song.

    Windows ME helped convince me to jump over to mac.

  • The first 10 seconds of the song reminds me of those old Adult Swim bumps.

  • This song was the best part of Windows ME.

  • A-a-a-ah-h-h.....

    makes my head float on azur waves of tracing cotton candy in a sunny day at the end of the universe....wa-OO-ooh..mee-a-a­-ahn...

  • For years and years I wondered why I had this song floating around on my old iPods or my computer. I find my dad's old laptop... and I do indeed remember it had Windows ME. I come here, and...well...I now know why.

  • I didn't have Windows ME AT ALL! I remember this from either Windows 98 or Windows XP.

  • @Beatlesfangoogle Yeah it was on Windows 98.

  • @WickerMan87p You had to install WMP7. It didn't come out of the box.

  • @Beatlesfangoogle 98 w/ WMP7 most likely

  • Why didn't they just put this on every Windows release?

  • This song is better than the crap Windows XP came with.

  • had to find this song again after 98 Windows ME XD

  • Suis-je le seul à être là grâce à Strip-Tease ?

  • i was stuck at my mums work when i was a kid and she let me play on the computer and all there was was the 30 second sample of this song so i played it over and over on repeat while playing on paint for 7 hours. i swore i would never listen to the song ever again. here i am listening to it. damn it 's a good song when you listen to it in full. i was lucky to meet him 8 years ago. his amazing.

  • watch?v=p6EuuDRPmIk&feature=re­lated

  • I 1st heard this on my sisters PC it was part of the program ???? I played the song over n over then downloaded it & burned it on CD. My sister hated it but I played it anyway wenever I could. Still luv it today holee shit that was along time ago what the hell is Windows ME....

  • background music when i'm high.. :P

  • ok,I think we've gathered by now that this came with windows ME..

  • Windows ME

  • b4 i had internet, i constantly listened to the 30 second sample on windows me

  • Windows 98 with windows media player. A video of just 25 sec

  • @Stevertudge Couse if it wasnt for that program then This amaizing group wouldnt have been discovered by a lot of ppl, finally!! i thougt this day would never come, but i have to say tnx to windows.

  • Just a lookin for a friend...

  • why can't he sing in an english accent? he'd sound far better.

  • @adamseeb1 probably because he's american lol

  • yeah why's everyone here talking about windows?

  • @palbo4 I think it's because they learned of this song's existence from Windows Me. I know, because I used to be a Windows Me user when I found this song.

  • @OctavioGaitan did the song come with the program or something?

  • @palbo4 Windows Me includes Windows Media Player, which includes a sample file of a snippet of Beck's song.

  • Windows, me and light out..............!!!

  • Windows showed ME a beautiful way to music.

  • Windows ME rocks! lol

  • Windows 98 SE baby!

  • This brings back memories to those windows me days

  • I totaaaaaaaaallly thought I was alone on this! Hell yeah.

  • Lil' spray paint at the end there

  • i read somewhere that this is inspired by the velvet's "countess of hong kong." it really sounds a lot like it. i mean, i know its beck, but come on man.

  • This was on Windows Media Player 7.

  • Oh god i love beck!

  • Millennium edition! hahaha

  • @blastout11467 Windows Millennium only from 1:26 to 1:55

  • @KartSeven1 Same with Windows 98.

  • @Beatlesfangoogle You had to install WMP7. It didn't come out of the box.

  • @Beatlesfangoogle I did not see it there.

  • @KartSeven1 No... it was 1:26 to 1:56 mate. You were WAY off there! :P

  • I love this song! It brings back so many memories of a summer spent cage-fighting in a squalid London flat. I'm so pleased i found it again... I was going 'insaaane' without it

  • Windows ME xD

  • Lol definitely just brought me back to the ME days... too bad it was only like 30 seconds of the song :-P

  • I originally hated Beck for this...Windows ME put the chorus on loop and it annoyed the hell out of me... so I got into his Steropathetic Soulmanure-era stuff and switched to Mac. :D

  • I think this is pretty cool, it's sort of reminds me of a T Rex sound, like a lazy summer day, lying in the sun watching the big fluffy clouds drift by . . . . . .

    Wow, i think I'm just loosing it! COME ON SUMMER GET HERE!!!!!

  • Stupid me. I used to think this song s called "such a beutiful day."

  • this kinda sounds like a velvet underground song i know. hmmm...

  • this came out the same time as quake 3 arena :),

  • @DJMiel56 Do not type a wink!!!

  • Yo i love this album but this song is just like the song Countess From Hong Kong by The Velvet Underground.

  • Only on ME from 1:26 to 1:55 ;)

  • I remember when i was 5, mummy got me Windows ME, and i'd play this over and over and over about 30 times, just coz i thought the song was cool.

    Now i'm 15, and i'm playing it more than 30 times hahaha(:

  • why is everyone here talking about a computer program?

    this is a fantastic song

  • @SteverTudge finally :P

  • @SteverTudge this used to be some default song in the Windows ME music player, or so I recall...

    Good times :)

  • @SteverTudge Actually, they aren't talking about a computer program, they're talking about a computer operating system. Though I see where you're coming from. However, I would've never heard this song without Windows Millennium Edition, so I'm grateful for that. :)

  • Art has always been recycled. IE) Covers of songs, Parodies, Samples in hip hop songs. The way of teaching a pupil to paint (renaissance) was to copy paintings from their teacher. All the greats in renaissance did it. Art is supposed to be shared.

  • I LIKE THIS MUSIC I LOVE BECK

  • I remember when my family got our first computer with windows 98. this is the song i promptly remember on media player 7. you had that 32 second sample of this song.

    i was little and i loved that sample

    and then 7 years later at the age of 14 i bought that album. (i got rid of the PC last year) cause i when i was 11 dad showed me how to put new parts in and i renovated the thing with the help of my dad. unfourtnately a fatal virus got to it and slowed it down to it's death (thanks grand-pa)

  • it brings me back to where i was such a kid when the blindness of innocent was right before my eyes :(

  • This is my favorite Beck album. Love his use of harmonies in this song. Midnite vultures is so different than his other albums. that is one thing I like about Beck. I love how he blends musical genres and creates his own unique sound.

  • this song is great.

  • yeah is the song in win ME..... very bad s.o lol

  • Yeah, I remember this from Windows Mellenium, was it BECK.ASF and BECK.WMA?

  • @clboy996

    Haha yeah, and they included a tiny thumbnail of Beck laying down, propping his head up with one hand

  • SAme here! windows mE!

  • o mio dio, mi ha fatto ricordare quello schifo di Windows ME

  • Gosh ! So beautiful memories ! At that time, I couldn't understand what it was being said as I didn't know much English ! Best Windows demo ever !

  • I remember this from when my parents bought our first computer. This was the demo that came with Windows Me. Just like everyone else who left a comment. :) We still have our computer, too.

  • same with me when my dad bought a laptop back in 2000 for me and it was there and u see that it's a long way back but fortunately i have got it again today as many thanks to youtube.

  • Windows Me, I already change the OS but i saved the demo. i still having the computer!!!

    Good song!!

  • windows me sample starts at 1:28

  • ahhh dude this was on my windows me when i got it back in 2000 when i was like 5!!!!!

  • beautiful way, beautiful song i love

  • windows ME memories, my first tower computer :D

  • Oh! My first computer! This song!

  • this song is such a rip off

  • True, but many songs are and both songs are great. The Velvet Underground and Beck are both amazing.

  • lol I heard this on Windows Me, then I installed WMP 7 on Windows 2000 and heard it again so I was curious and I ended up here.

  • I miss Windows Media Player 7 and WMP 9, I hate WMP 10 and 11.

  • This always reminds me of Windows Media Player 7 in Windows Me. Good song.

  • Windows 98 stock song. I remember.

  • yeeeeees thats what i love this song so much, it makes me remember my teen years

  • trop bon... ^^

  • I remember this on the winamp opening screen.

  • Just listened to "Countess from Hong Kong." You're right Beck straight COPIED Velvet Underground. Shameful. Thanks for the insight, Blindsquirrelandnoob.

  • he covered Them who covered Dylans "All Over Now Baby Blue" , but he changes the original lyrics for his own ! This covers cool as well , stop cryin and chill the fuck out lol !

  • This song is a lot like "Countess From Honk Kong" from The Velvet Underground. Actually such a rip off :).

  • I first heard it on Homicide Life on the street movie. brilliant use

  • I think the 30 second snippet of this song was the only good thing about Windows ME.

  • lmao .. i am totally listening to this song right now cuz i just reinstalled ME on an old computer and saw the snippet in the music folder .. hahahah ..

  • yeah, I remember this... oh man, I was just a little boy :)
