Beck - Corvette Bummer (Loser single)

Beck performing the b-side "Corvette Bummer" from some versions of his hit single "Loser" from 1994.

Lyrics-

All my days, I had mouldy bread
Robot brains in the flying airplanes
Hollowed out and filled with dust
Rockin' like a hurricane under the rug
Bored to the core on a sunken boat
A worn-out candle in a plastic coat
A ziplock bag, a pelican bone
A perfect stupid cardboard reject
Overfed electric comatose
Riding in the air, invisible socks
A broken blanket, flaming sawdust
Waking up in the shadow of a piece of a dirt

Gonna fly like a dog, gonna leap right out the wall
Gonna walk around this town with a can o' whiskey
Gonna run like a bird, gonna roll out in the dirt
Gonna run around this town with a phone machine

Yellow cat laying flat on the road
Molten lead shooting out the ground
Tin foil witch burning under the bridge
Flap your wings and leap out the window
Put a glass eye in the eyes of God
Milk the kids, Polaroid cupcake
Take it to the limit, new wave biscuit
Camouflage gimmick, wimp out like never before

Gonna jump like a fly, gonna burn like a pig
Gonna flap around and pass out on the kitchen floor
Gonna crawl like a rock, gonna dance like a worm
Gonna take my shoes right off and smell my socks

Gonna fly like a squirrel, gonna swing like a chicken
Gonna weed-whack a plate of noodles in the afternoon
Gonna melt like a weasel, gonna fry like a kid
Gonna get my walkie-talkie and some mustard and some mayonnaise
And a mermaid and some macaroni, bricks, and some telephone wires
And phone machines and a fax machine and a... hahaha!

I do too. It also has a newer version of MTV Makes Me Want To Smoke Crack, in an old style jazzy way.

That one where he starts playing, then tells the booth guy to stop the tape, and it cuts to him finishing it with jazz piano

[StrayBlues]

Yeah, it's referred to as the lounge version of MTV Makes Me Want To Smoke Crack.

[joerover22]

[ErichIsG0D]

Epic.

[JayLongIsNoFun]

@chancius This sums it up perfectly.

The high pitched sound at 0:19 sounds identical to a stupid electric vampire candy dish my mother has had for years. It must be a very generic 80s/90s sound effect, haha. I came here to see if anyone else noticed it...

Same thing! I had one when I was 4 years old, found it last week after 20 years. Put in some batteries, relived awesome memories!

[blazeofglory00]

that eerie sound that loops ever so often is from this old halloween decoration which was this bat. when you turned it on that sound played and it would vibrate and light up lol classic 90s shit

[SEMAChannel]

Very nice video, thanks for sharing.

[chancius]

Ah yes... Going way back when we were the only fans of Beck (that we knew of) when his lyrics made NO sense... GOOD STUFF!!!! :)
