Ugh. I’m not the biggest fan of Beck’s so-called hip-hop side (I can’t stand most of Odelay and don’t care much for Midnight Vultures), but I can at least appreciate his ironic and insightful lyrics.
This song is just bad. It sound’s like a goddamn cheerleader song, for fuck’s sake! Its repetitive nature and the female backing vocalist do absolutely nothing for it, and it has fewer lyrics than Kiss’s “Rock and Roll All Night.” What are the lyrics, you ask? “We got a timebomb. We got a timebomb. We got a timebomb. Nah-nah-nah nah.” I think there is some variation in there somewhere, but that’s really about it. The CD’s artwork uses the same Beck logo as used in his previous (and very good) album, The Information, so I hope it isn’t a sneak peak at his next LP.
D-
i actually really like that song. true i hate that fact that it has bad lyrics but the tune is good. but if your looking for good lyrics then i suggest that you steer away from beck. say anything has great lyrics and so does dropping daylight. those have to be my two favorite bands lyric wise.
