BECK – SEXXLAWS (GEFFEN)
Lifted from Midnite Vultures this is Beck in one of his most playful moods and motions delivering a song that sounds straight from the opening credits of some cheesy seventies TV show. Throughout the duration of the song a full on horn section creams the scene with a heart pumping stream as all remains upbeat and aiming for the sky. Which is something that is not necessarily usually said about the songs of Mr Hansen.
Just as to what the logic of “Sexxlaws” is addressing is open to debate. Beck is something of a man of mystery. Sure his parents were apparently cuckoo and his upbringing hippy and inappropriate by socially accepted standards, there are also the other tales and rumours of his various religious affiliations and music industry relations. Is this really a man that should be performing is legislation? I guess it depends on the party.
“I’m a full grown man but I’m not afraid to cry.”
Moving on things just get better with the drum machine cum Prince flipside “This Is My Crew” which demonstrates just how horribly savvy and diverse Beck always was.
Memorably accompanying this track came a very fun and colourful music video that featured a memorable speech from Jack Black in the days just before anybody knew who he was. In other words this single was quite ahead of the game. This was a long way from the days when MTV would make Beck want to smoke crack. Now it would just be recreational.
Thesaurus moment: come.
