I'm mixing business with leather
Christmas with Heather
Freaks flock together
And make all the b-boys scream

All right
Turn it up now
All right
Turn it up now

Word up to the manthing
She's always cold lamping
Visine at the canteen
I just wanna watch you dance

Do you wanna ride on the Baltic Sea
I'll be your mistress C.O.D.
I'll comb your hair
Re-write your diary
Pour champagne on a honey bee

She can really do me
She can look right through me
And make all the b-boys scream

I'm mixing fitness with leather
Homework with Heather
Freaks flock together
And make all the lesbians scream

All right
Turn it up now
All right
Turn it up now

Groovy beat, baby, fun sounds. That is, if one likes tunes mixed in a test tube with six other bastardized musical recipes.  Lemme offer a 4.

Define "fake funk". Either it's funk or it isn't.

I keep finding myself digging the same songs as Super Stud Romeo Tuma.

The sound at the end of the song... I always though it was a sound clip of Terminator dying.

Faux rétro '60s funk had sex with someone's hip hop daddy. Beck is eclectic, but this sounds like a goof. 
Posted 11 years ago by kingart    [ Reply ]

The song isn't that bad, but what the HELL is going on at the end?! It's just a bunch of racket and my ears don't like it.

Same here—sounds better to call it funk than disco but we all know what's going on here.  I guess I didn't play it loud before but having done so I had to knock it down a few notches—it's now on my list of songs that I wouldn't miss much if I never heard it again.:)

Beck does Robert Palmer/Prince funk.
Posted 12 years ago by WonderLizard    [ Reply ]
I checked in first to see if this was some wild, unheard of World Party cut. Always surprised when I find out it's Beck, as I never listened to him much upon his arrival.

This sounds a lot like some of Beck's other songs.

I believe I recognize this from "Robot Chicken".  Just saying...  Good show.

I haven't heard much Beck stuff, but this guy is a frigg'n musical genius.  His musical style varies, but for some reason I can usually identify him right away, it just grabs me ....

Nope, this is Funk. There are some BIG differences.
#1 Funk is cool.
#2 Disco sucks.

Completely disagree. I admit that's an album for certain moods, but even in uptimes it's enjoyable to listen to. Sea Change was transcendent for Beck...you can't lessen it just because it captures a sadder time in his life. This, on the other hand, is just good, nothing more.

Beck is so versatile that you can love, hate and feel indifferent to his work depending on the piece. This one is a \"hate\", but I love almost all of SEA CHANGE.

i agree with you, drover. though i like "jack-ass" the best. this one seems to get played an awful lot on f.m.

Okay, I just don\'t know what to say. I can\'t stand Beck. Why do I kinda like this groove. I hate disco. This sounds a little discoish. So, why do I kinda like this groove. Surely it\'s just an auditory illusion. It\'ll pass. :roll:
