Beck Lyrics: The Truth

Message Bookmarked

Since chaki directed my attention to the fact that Beck and his parents are bigtime Scientology majors, er scions, I have been wondering abt the content of his tunes. My new hypothesis is that Beck gets most of his lyrical ideas (especially choruses) from weekly conversations on the telephone with good old Dad.

Here's your chance to help me in imagining how it probably sounds when Beck and his pops have their weekly chats, with the inclusion of at least one (1) Beck chorus phrase thrown in for good measure. Come on, it'll be fun.

(this thread will die a horrible horrible death)

I dunno dad, I'm not sure what to do after the last album.

Two turntables and a microphone, son. That's where it's at.

pops: "...sure, that Scientology All Stars project sounds like a cool idea, it'll need a solid title tho"
boyo: "'We Are The World', i've been thinking."
pops: "mmm...not bad, not bad at all... but 'Sea Change', yo know, i still feel 'Sea Change' would have a really meaningful ring to it"
boyo: "oi dad! i did 'Sea Change' already, and 'Mutations' and "Dark and Lovely" too!"
pops: "you did? that's a good boy!"

Beck: "So, how was your weekend at that Mexican horse racing thing go dad? Did ya win big?"

Dave: "Soy imperdidor...I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me."

Beck: "Dad, you're so silly." *wink wink*

Beck: "So anyway dad, how'd that Sci meeting go?"

Dave: "Not well. Everybody got out of control and started yelling and everything went nuts, and I feel totally responsible for it..."

Beck: "I don't know, you're not a trouble maker or nothing, I'm sure you had nothing to do with it."

Dave: "No, boy, I can tell you for sure, it's nobody's fault but my own."

Beck: "Well, what about Nicole Kidman? She's kinda a loose cannon."

Dave: "Yeah. She's alone in the new pollution."

Beck: So, who else was at the meeting?

Dad: The silver foxes looking for romance in the chain-smoke Kansas flashdance ass pants.

I've always really loved that "...flashdance ass pants" bit.
