![House of Pain - Jump Around (Official Music Video) [HD]](/img/n.gif)
That opening guitar riff is immortal.
Thought it was piano when I was younger
Wow! In 1 week it will be 30 years since its release!! That is insane. The song is just as good now. My, how much has happened in the world since then. Crazy. I was 13 when this track hit, just in the beginning of my prime teenage years. Oh god, here comes a wave of sweet, sickening nostalgia. Crazy.
Delta blues slide guitar riff ya"ll
Iconic
For me it was always the scitar sound that got me hooked.
LOSER turns 30 years TODAY! Thank you, Beck, for 3 decades of such great music!!!!!
Ha, right this moment was wander how old is this masterpiece.
Yep 1993. Probably the very year the 90s started to feel like it.
I turn 33. I don't like getting older, but I still think it's tragic that I was too young to know what a cool time I was living in. Would have been better to come of age back then than years later
@@clamchowder622 right?? I’m 35 myself. The 90s were so amazing and we took it all for granted!
Fuck I’m old
this song is just the right mix of sappy, sarcastic, melancholic, yet light hearted. it's everything that can both cheer me up but playfully validate any bad mood
Nailed it ! ✋🏻🙌🙌🙌
@@blueskybanshee8013 thank you, I try 😌💅🏽
Beautifully put
Bozo nightmare!
couldn't have said it better myself bud
My middle son Kevin was a HUGE Beck fan He’d wake me up to see Beck on Jay Leno He wanted everyone to find the joy he did in Beck songs. He left this life in 2001 at age 18. I still hear those 90’s Beck songs in my head especially today, he would have been 42 today. I hope he listens to Beck in heaven.!
That must've been really tough....your son sounded like a lovely fella, rest in peace and fly high for him 💜💜
Ditto sista
I feel your pain of loss, but they'll always live on in our hearts and memories ❤
Stay safe and well everyone much love to all ❤
Love your heart. I think he's where you so believe. ❤
I turned it up for you both ❤
Beck, your music still hasn’t been forgotten in 2024 ! Terminal cancer , disrespectful wife, shitshow life and this song and Mellow Gold is like a band aid on my chopped off legs. You legend. We will never forget the 90’s happiness you gave and still give us.
Stay up brother ✊🏼
Wishing you the best in all sincerity.
Smoke some DMT if you can
You're goddamn strong to make it all the way today
Keep going brother! Just know there will always be someone out there who loves you
The mid 90’s was just the best time to be young and dumb. This song is a testament of it’s awesomeness. 🤙🏽
I got inspired in being dumb back then, loved it
hell yeah dude
90's ruled!
no smartphones made it that much better-
Damn I'm jealous of not having phones
I'm pushing 60, and this is still one of my all-times-favorite tunes!
Same here, brother. I just turned 59 a few weeks ago. This song never fails to put me in a good mood.
My dad is 70 and absolutely loves this song. No offense, but I wonder why it's so popular with the much older crowd it was intended for?
@@stevebuscemislefteye9967 to me, it's the 'pregnant snake' theory. Time was stamped with this track & so are many of us!
@@govetter what in the hell is a pregnant snake theory?
I`m 61 in just a few weeks...still love this song! :)
If you're reading this, know that you are loved beyond measure.
When you get older, this becomes painfully fun to sing in your head, when you are in a situation.
@CrashDummy51you got this brotha you’re just building up those stories for the kids😂.
@CrashDummy51Damn, love you man, that's the mindset. Life's not about money, happiness or sex; it's about living an interesting life, about experiencing existance.
I came to this song with nostalgia in mind and I saw this comment. Your situation may not be the same, but I suffered with addiction for years and was homeless in Atlantic City, Allentown, Paterson, worst cities on the east coast. But I'm 27 now and THRIVING. You can do whatever you believe you can. You got this. And if your thing is music. Don't ever give up. Ever.@CrashDummy51
“He hung himself with a guitar string, slab of turkey neck and it’s hanging from a pigeon wing
Laughed at the lyrics as a teenager…
Then when I’m an adult and actually sleeping on a love seat in a trailer park and listening to this song and realize I grew up to be a loser, and i just think to myself, “fuck”
The lyrics suddenly become way more relatable, lmao
I'm a loser baby
I'm a creep i'm a weirdo
That is what great about 90's, we humble
can't forget i'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you
@@lukepetrowski That's ok cause I've got no self esteem.
Yea welcome to 2019 kiddo
How much of the current alpha male posturing is a reaction to perceived threats to people's social identity? Is the red pill just another identity politics movement with different labelling?
The irony in that comment is astounding.
This song hits different when you're alone at night, thinking about life. Forever a masterpiece.
yes i also listen to this while high af
Bro it’s 2 in the mornin and I’m on it
REALTALK
I agree Its like 4:45 in the morning Saturday sept 24th 2022 and im 41 listening to this feeling wierd. When this came out I was so different . I miss the person I was back then.
Word. I need to be reminded to "Get crazy with the Cheez-Whiz" every once in a while.
I’ve been a Looser for 30 years now and don’t intend stop being one anytime soon! 😍😍😍
Beck's best song!
Still a classic in 2024! ❤
I'm the driver.
I'm a winner, i can feel it
Have you listened Nub by The Jesus Lizard? that is classic
Satan gave me a taco is pretty fly too
@@incorrigiblerogue1193 haha real
Yea it is 🤘🖤👍
Holy shit, I was 13 years old when I last saw this video, I am 40 now. It still feels like that same day. What a great song/video.
:) ♡♡♡
Hmmmm are you 40 or 37?
edit: ahhh nevermind depends when you saw it first
Pretty similar, I was 14 and now I'm 41. Beck has aged well.
@@wizardmix I'm 12 lol. This song isn't even bad.
@@imjustbetterthanyou9477 You have the benefit of time travel my friend. When I saw this being nearly the age you are now, that's all there was. You have quite an amazing discography to sift through and most of it is excellent right up to present day -- though a lot of it borrows from earlier masters (but don't we all). Seems like you're into 90s music videos. So what are the favorites you've discovered so far?
I remember losing my job moving back in with my parents, popped on the TV and this was the first thing I watched.... I felt so inspired......
Things are gunna get better. I can feel it.
nice
Insightful and maybe prophetic ?,🤔
the song wasn’t meant to be deep but to be fun ramblings how do you feel now
People I'm sure he's got over that by now this was years ago because he's talking about TV!
1993 was a great year for all things in entertainment and music
True
gulf war included
Amen
@@ricalw-n6i CTFU bro ur diabolical. Dont ever stop!
Wasn't this album from 1994 (yes, I know the song was recorded in 1991)?
Beck never sold out because he respected his artistic side too much.. gotta respect that.
right? I don't listen to him very often , but i hear that he does EVERYTHING himself, and it's incredible
Very under-appreciated, Beck.
I loved this group in my teen years.. I didn't know why back then, but I do now. Like Primus (sucks), Beck was real.
Music has sure turned a 180° since the 90s.
@yok I i lost a rain cell reading your comment lmao
god shut the fuck up with that shit who cares
Beck reflects my soul":) It is the idea of my mind.P)): ...
This video always cracks me up. The bad breakdancing, the burning squeegee, the guy jumping on the bench. Sheer hilarity. It does capture the vibe of the early 90s, a time in which people were getting over the triumphalism of the 80s. Fits perfectly with the song.
lol it is so 70´s childhoods
Absolutely true 😀👍👍
Even better is this songs originally story
And the moving casket ⚰️😂 hilarious 😆
It’s so fantastic 😂
"And my time is a piece of wax, falling on a termite...that's choking on the splinters" One of the best lyrics ever 🕯🐜
Yesss😂
We've all felt that way before, haven't we?
Those cinnamon toothpick's sure were good.😎. Hard to find now. Hell, they were hard to find then.
I agree👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely
My fav song of the 90's.
well here we are again
It's 3 am on a Sunday and I'm on my nightly 90s alt rock binge
sigh
there's a hell of a lot worse music out there
I CANT EVEN WATCH A BECK VIDEO WITHOUT SEEING DAN OR PHIL'S FACE... Not that that's a bad thing ;)
+Aurea Carvalho You and I could get on.
lol, its 3:31, on a Monday night, and I'm feeling the same way

Every once in a while, this song will show up on the radio and the volume goes to 10. Timeless!

This will never not be the absolute best vibe known to human kind.
Yes
Cries in something for ur mind
My ring tone 4 years
The whole album is gold, really.

"Things are gonna change soon, I can feel it."
Thanks, Beck.
My friend and I thought he said "So open the door" , years later we discovered that it was "Soy un perdedor" . And the worst part is that we speak Spanish.
The best comment 😆😆😆
jajadjsdfjsaj igual posta parece que dice eso
And i say : soooy un tenedor
And i speak spanish lol
My Spanish speaking wife set me straight on this song lol
I thought it was “sore have no antidote”
Everyone gloats about being a 90's kid. You're not a fucking 90's kid if you don't know who Beck is. This song defined the 90's.
so you're supposed to be aware of songs that got popular when you were a literal baby or about to be born? Whoops sorry call the 90's police I didn't know who he was because I wasn't fucking born yet but that doesn't mean I'm not a 90's kid magically.
HystericSky if you brag about being a nineties baby but where a baby or too little to remember anything from the nineties, than no your not a nineties baby. Wait ten years when everyone becomes nostalgic of the 2000s and claim that decade.
alot of people confuse being a 90's baby for being a 90's kid. I was born in 88. I was what one can consider a 90's kid
Don't forget Oasis, Blur, Pulp all them too
I was born in 87 and never heard of this song or this guy
"Sooooy un perdedor ... " being Spanish my native language i can't tell you how hard i tried to understand what he was saying there... when it first appeared on Mtv this sick song... then one day it hits me... it's just "I'm a Loser in Spanish!" I was trying to hear English words... i felt so dumb. It's almost 30 years ago now, unbelievable.
Definitely a mood
That's pretty funny. 😆👍
I wasn't much better... For the longest time I thought he was saying, "Sodium Pentothal."
Same lmao
Same, he pronounces it so bad it sounds like a different language lmao
SAME!!!!!! LOL!!!!!

I saw this guy in Santiago a couple of weeks ago. He absolutely killed it. I have never seen such a range of musical styles from a single artist. Rock, bluegrass, grunge, electronic, accoustic and god knows what. He's a deadset genius. His whole band was great.

Alina Khan Is he still alive?
Georgi Vanev yes and still making music at that, he literally just dropped a new single last week! he’s 49 now and his voice has not changed much
Alina Khan Nice, im gonna check it right now
Doesn't sound like a 45 year old at all. Maybe 30 max.
those opening drums make my mouth water
My dad passed away yesterday and now I'm making a playlist with all the songs he loved and I remember him by. This is one of them. Thank you dad for showing me the greatest artists of all times. Loved, missed and never forgotten 🤘🔥
Sending you lot's of love man ❤🩹
So very sorry to hear about your father's passing. Thinking of and praying for you and your fam!
This song reminds me of my dad too 🥲 sending you love 💛
I'm sure he'd be glad you dedicated this song for him. Rip
Condolences my mom left us yesterday. I hope you’re well.
It’s crazy that you can have random lyrics to amazing instrumentals and it be a banger for decades
i feel that way about the rhcp but people may put a gun to my head so i stay quiet
And you gotta love that electric sitar! That's the best part!
@@koda4247 they do have lyrics that make sense
@@koda4247 you can at least formulate a creative personal story relating to the lyrics with RHCP, this shit is all over the place. Great, but makes absolutely no sense and the singer even said he hates this song because it was supposed to be a b.s. thing that's actually his most acknowledged piece he's ever made. Meaning he accidently did something awesome but can't when he's taking the music seriously and trying to express himself. At absolute most depth, the meaning behind this song is the random words are expressing the worthless loser idea." Nothin matters, f*** it, burn down the trailer park and shave your face with some mace in the dark. I'm depressed and nothing matters." That's pretty much it.
@@wesleybastien5968 I mean you can relate to that feeling, and the feeling is that the world doesn't make sense, to it comes back full circle and *does* have meaning. Also, it has a *tons* of hidden meanings and metaphors. Beck is a genius, and geniuses tend to put down their most popular work like, all the time. It's hard to face the realization than the easiest thing you made is the most popular, and perhaps the best as well.
"Ban all the music with the phony gas chamber
Cause one's got a weasel, and the other's got a flag
One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag"
That's a formidable metaphor for the music industry if you take 2 seconds to really think about it.
Also that's again his opinion, the idea that Beck "can't come close" to doing something amazing when he's taking himself seriously is insane, he had one of the greatest career ever lmao that is grotesque self-deprecation or your interpretation of it there is.
I think that he wrote it when he *felt* like a loser, which is why he feels that this is not a good song, but it's a great song, because it conveys the feeling perfectly.
Beck said he wrote down everything he dreamed for a year and then made a song of it all.
Kruppt808 creative but weird

My son just turned 17. His dad showed up just for his birthday. I'm crying from love, respect and relief. This song has always been the shit. It's hitting home in a different way. Much ❤
"I'm a loser baby"
"I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo"
"I'm so ugly, that's ok cuz so are you"
Three legendary 90s bands, three depressions.
There's a lot of irony in Beck.
You forgot another classic - "Life is good, and I feel great, coz Mother says I was, a great mistake.." - Eels - Novocaine For The Soul
This song seems to influence I Might Be Wrong.

Nothing creates a true total recall mental state than this song. Suddenly I'm 18 again, driving to my first after high school job. The local radio station played this every morning just after 6 a.m. along with Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam. Yep! It was 1993.
Guess i'm blessed then
Miss it
In the 90s, a co-worker friend of mine and I were doing some work in Tracy, Ca and decided to travel to Reno, NV for the weekend. I had never been to a casino before but he told me to just double your bet each time you lose when playing roulette. Well, I ended up losing hundreds and so did he. To save money, we slept a few hours in the rental car in some parking lot. The next morning, very early, we walk back in to that casino determined to get our money back and this song was playing as background music. I'll never forget it, and no, we didn't get our money back. We were losers baby.
You walked into a casino thinking they were going to give you the money you lost gambling? You understand what gambling is right?
@@mende063 I believe that he means that he would bet again and win the money back
As a loser from the 775 I can tell that's the story we're told from out of towners.
Dude , I lived and worked in Vegas Nv. Never gamble on weekends , they loosen the games up during the week. The weekends the house cleans up, Lol they probably piped that music in to subliminal screw ya'll . Theres tricks to winning , I knew all the loose slots and when to hit them, you gotta live there and see how...Of course once the house see's this you will get banned...

Yo. Things are gunna change, I can feel it
This song saved my life. It made me proud to be called a loser. It really saved my life, back in the '90's. It can save yours too. When someone calls you a loser, you just sing this song loudly. Beck made us losers feel okay about life. No one can put you down now. We rise above. So many quotes I still use "Things are gonna change, I can feel it." Laugh it off. The name loser can never get you down now. Crank it. LOVE YOU FOREVER for THIS, BECK!!!
not that i,m the star Q.B. but i never heard someone call me loser. they might lose some chicklets for that.
Yup I love this song. Help me through my life
Damn!! That was well said,I literally almost cried😭
so whos calling you a loser? dont need this song just say mind your business before i knock you out
I love being a loser sometimes like a true nobody there's a certain feeling like its like everyone thinks I do the weirdest stuff and ignores me usually and it just makes me feel like im the shit cuz they wanna avoid me so much lol stay lame my friends

Thank you for Agreeing With me Best Time Ever 1990s I wish I can go Back 😊😊😊😊
90's baby does not equal 90's kid. I can understand those born in the 90's not knowing who Beck is. I was born in 88 so I spent from 2 - 12 years old in the 90's and can be what one would consider a 90's kid. I remember when this music was playing on the radio non stop.
I had the benefit of being both an 80's and 90's kid.
Age 0-10 in the 80's
10-19 in the 90's
Dystopia1980 but but im 19 and i knew who beck was :(
I grew up listening to this on the radio, and I was born in 94. You don't have to be a "real 90s kid" to know who Beck is. Then again, all I ever listened to was alternative stations.
I was born in 1990 and never heard of Beck. I never really listened to the radio before 2003, so that explains it but I used to listen to Madonna and Spice Girls when I was 5-6 but I never came across Beck. I think I might have heard this song but I don't consciously remember "Loser" nor a guy named "Beck". It's kind of irritating people assuming everybody who doesn't know Beck HAS to be born in 1999. Maybe some of us jus don't listen to music that much? I started listening to music a lot in 2003 when I was 13, before I'd just listen to almost exclusively South Asian music
Who gives a fuck if you aren't from the 90's. If you appreciate the music leave it alone
It’s 2022 and I still can’t get enough of this.
yeeeeeess!!
Im a loser to baby
This is a classic and it’s never getting old anytime soon.

I put “Soy un perdedor” as my yearbook quote because this song was my anthem during high school. After so many years, I’m surprised that I’m not feeling like a loser anymore. Glad I didn’t peak in high school lol
That's cool shhht right there. We might have graduated close to the same year. Right out of high school, I married the girl voted in the year book "Most likely to become a super model". (This was the early '90s, CIndy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Stephanie Seymore true supermodels) Note: I'm a dweeby guy, just happened to be in the right place at the right time with the right set of skills in the moment.
Mid-80s = pretty much the same.
KOOL
I dropped outta high school and I make 2k a week. While I’m technically still high school age I definitely didn’t peak in highschool
Lil Bo Same here. After graduating college, I was too introvert to land a job in the world of extroverts so I honed my skills at home, worked indoors and basically made more than 10k a month. The others who made me feel like a “loser” in high school aren’t doing so good now. Definitely glad I didn’t peak in high school lmfao
This song is iconic. Lyrics are underrated.
Me growing up my whole life listening to this never thinking about if there was a music video
FML I'm old, I remember watching this video on MTV.
Thats very stupid
Same, saw a post on Reddit that mentioned a music video to this song and i was like “whaaat” so here i am lol
Dude same, I didn't know there was one 🤣
BRO SAME
"Slacker my ass. I mean, I never had any slack. I was working a $4-an-hour job trying to stay alive. That slacker stuff is for people who have the time to be depressed about everything." -Beck
Ahhh, yes, the $4-something/hour jobs... I remember those all too well. Sadly, we haven't progressed much in society, have we... :/
Baaaaaahahahaha!!! I started out working at $3.35/hr... When I made it to 4 bucks I thought I was on top of the world... Look how far we've come since back in the day... Never slack and keep dreaming big ❤❤❤
I started out at 1.60 an hour. But gas was 28 cents a gallon, and you could buy 5 gallons of gas for one hours pay. Today, one hour of working at minimum wage gets you only about two gallons or less or gas.
How has no slack helped you in life?
Rita Dougherty we havent come far.. the minimum wage is still shitty. In fact it might be worse because the value of the dollar keeps going down while cost of living is more expensive than it’s literally ever been...
Boomers...clueless
I'm a driver, I'm a winner. Things are gonna change, I can feel it.
Me and my dad quote this line all the time.
Same man
I find if that one doesn't work then "kill the headlights and put it in neutral" does!
😂
Aye
same dude!!
If you've been rocking this one for decades raise your hand please 🖐️👍✌️
🙌🏿
🙌🏿
I keep hearing new things in it even after all this time
He looks like that average chill high school guy that you talked to once in a while.
Tell my grandma i said hey
Please. 😁
@@mr.davemaeen8136 alright bro,she’s Vibing up here.
@@brantleytf2245 thanks man. IK she is.
She's pretty lit ain't she? 😂
I''m a driver. I'm a winner. Things are gonna change. I can feel it.
Just keep looking up!
@@scottlarsh3119 he has vertigo. he can't.
Never forget, people, that Beck thought that "Loser" was not good at all and during a long period he was a homeless artist... So, believe in Yourself and follow your dream, because nobody is a loser! ;)
Im a loser
You might rethink that opinion if you ever head over to tumblr
Ok. Thanks for the advice.
He was a homeless musician beause he chose this way. If being homeless becomes unbearable, he gotta leave this life and go get a job anywhere to rebuild some average life. He bet he won. And that's great for him.
@@soufienkhalfaoui7593 He didn't have much of a choice at first, he really didn't believe in himself. Beck is just one example, there are a million more. Not just in the music industry. How many young people have heard themselves say to themselves: "You suck at school, you will not get anything ... You're a real loser.. etc." Many have become what they wanted to be and without anyone's help. There are millions of examples. But no one will say it will be easy. Cheers.
That was better breakdancing than Raygun at the Olympics 2024 at the 2:26 mark. For those who don't know, that is the Dancing Outlaw Jesco White at the 2:38 mark.
He looks about 17 here. This song was a pretty big deal my senior year of high school. Still holds up.
+Micah Newman im pretty sure he was in his 20s actually
+Micah Newman ur old
+Micah Newman I believe he was 23, that's still a hell of an age to have a hit like this.
+Krray steve winwood wrote and sung gimme some lovin while part of the spencer davis group when he was only 18 years old during the 60's
+Adieu He is 23 in this video
This and Creep by Radiohead are my go-to self-loathing 90's songs.
I see u around these 90s classics alot
And maybe. ...zombie?
+Daniel Plainview Highly agree, I'd include Nirvana's Dumb on that list as well.
+Daniel Plainview No Garbage or Smashing pumpkins?
+Daniel Plainview Fuck that, laid heaps.
I remember when beck won album of the year a few years ago out of nowhere. Lots of people were pissed (because they’d never heard of him) but the dude absolutely deserved it
Was that the year Ye pranked everyone when he was about to pull a 2009 but shaked his finger
@@calebthemusicjunkie yep
He deserved it, but definitely not for that album. Beyoncé should have gotten it
@@Weru212 who?
Beck, the prophet and King of the US slacker culture; absolute privilege of a society of extremes: Hyperbillionaires and abject poverty - Helipads vs. slums, often coexisting in the same city, in a surplus society where indulging in indolent apathy even as part of social criticism is the privilege of suburban kids, and it takes money 🤑. I like Beck's music, particularly this song.
I sang this song to my teenage daughter and she was looking at me wondering if this song was real. I sent her the link and she was laughing and showed her friends. Apparently they liked it 🤘
Good job on your part dad! Its great that they can enjoy older stuff.
Yo u making me feel old I was 11 when this came out
That’s becks lyrics for ya. Also his funkiest/funniest stuff is probably on Midnite Vultures, so u should show them that album too.
My guy, you remember if this in the Skater games on the N64? I should turn mine on and check. Old enough to get the tail end of the nineties, young enough to not have kids \m/
Rock on dude!
Hey some teenagers like old songs. I'm 13 and listen to this song.
I'm 45 and I'm still a loser! Don't know whether to laugh or cry.
+john smith Laugh then learn. Meaning laugh at being a loser. Then learn how to stop being a loser.
+john smith I am 48 LOL
+Michael McNamara Who are the WINNERS?
Justin Mevee You are a winner if you stop being hard on yourself. It's sometimes fun joking about being a loser, but if you really are, then change yourself. Become a winner. Stay positive.
I hear you !
My time is a piece of wax fallin on a termite, who’s chokin on the splinters
Don’t know what it means but I still think about it at least once a week
It's worth pondering about. Just as the rest of the song. What stroke me most on this album however was "she can talk to squirrels".
Was reading your comment as the words were being played. I'm easily amused :)
It's about time passing... and going nowhere
Me to I always honk of that and get crazy with the cheese whizz it just pops into my head all the time
Im not sure about the first half of the excerpt, but i understand the termite part. They eat wood, so when a termite is choking on (wood) splinters, hes a bad termite. A loser, if you will
At 2:58 he does the bugs bunny dance…..soulful
Fun fact: the blurry helmet Beck takes off at the beginning is a Storm Trooper helmet.
Epic
Had to blur it so george lucas wouldn’t sue him
I came to the comments just to see why it was blurred out, thanks!
Why did the blur the Helmut ?
@@tbas1972 To avoid a lawsuit from Lucasarts.
This is a one-song-musical-genre, there could be no sequel, no sophomore effort, it is a sonic culdesac.
The whole album is full of them!
In other words, PERFECTION. I agree.
Odelay was amazing. Very different from the folky mellow gold
I can't even like that
sonic culdesac! - perfect term
As a beck fan from birth, no. This song is not overrated.
No it is not 👊😎
Damn I don’t even remember what I liked as a baby. You’re hella edgy and hardcore!
@@YoungDeathWish I’m still a kid, so it wasn’t that long ago 😳
It really isn't I hadn't heard it till yesterday so I count that not overated.
@@shanelle-rae3309 boy.
This song was his first really popular song. And started the basis of his career. It was extremely popular when it came out, and people didn’t really like his other music. So yeah, a LOT of people think this song is overrated
2124 anyone loser?
Everyday it comes on one of my Playlist
Yup, born as one, living as one will probably die as one.
Forever hear listening it’s 🔥
2124.. I'll be 150 years old...and still listening to this shit!😂
Hell yea
Depression was so much better then it had music like this to relate too and it felt like you had a group of friends and people to relate too
The parasocial relationship, the perfect substitute for love, family and friendship
Yeah and the drugs were better then too.
THIS GUY BEAT BEYONCE WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE
+eatanentireass he deserved it lmao
+eatanentireass HELL YEAH!, he's awesome
Yup he deserves it because he actually writes his own music
that's because Beyonce isn't an artist, she's an entertainer. there's a big difference
***** how is that disrespectful? She's not an artist. She's has teams of people writing her lyrics, making her beats, editing, producing, mixing all she does is sing. I'm sorry but I don't consider someone who does nothing an artist
I miss this type of music. 😢
Aka the good music.
now it's all pop shit musics
Thank god for youtube then, and other stuff but mostly youtube!
Un-altered voice with real instruments

This video is so my teen years that it hurts. Thanks to Beck for the joy!
It is so core X childhoods lolzz
This song shaped a generation.
I sell propane and propane accesorys
i'm unemployed since 2012.
I never worked, 31 years olds
Ramon Bitencourt im 40 and got my first job a week ago. So theres still hope for you my friend ✌
Butane is a bastard gas
That sitar actually adds so much to the song, george harrison wouldve been proud of that
Where do you hear a sitar? I don't think I've ever noticed that in this song.
@@FletcherWilbury you hear the dun dun dun dun dun done sorta slide guitar sound but then also a twang twang twangy wtang high pitched sound joins in... That's a sitar :)
He was alive when this song came out, so maybe he actually was, who knows?
And Brian Jones !
Beck is Kurt Cobain if he had a good childhood and a fine teenage years.
Ok epic
Robby Krieger+Jimi Hendrix
So
A poser
Joe Knoedler No not at all. Just two guys had different chances in life and different circumstances which made one kill him self literally and one with you know a normal teenage and young adult rebelion nonchalence attitude.
Beck is Beck brah.
0:18 bro is walking like Kurtan from This Country here😂
When I first saw this clip on MTV when it was released, I was sure it was another Nirvana song :D
LOL
