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 :)
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 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.
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....
@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.
@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.
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.
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
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!!!!!
@KartSeven1 yeah thats were i got it from a compaq Windows Millennium Edition computer its gone now and the song it kind of made me feel weird to hear it i would go krazy its still kind of does
@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. :)
two of the morning, i turn on my old pc, i have no games, no music, but it is fun to use the media player, and hear a little bit of this song, i wanna cry
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 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)
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.
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.
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 !
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 ..
