Beck/Beck`s Favorite Song

Question
Of all of Beck`s songs, which do you think is his favorite? Not only musically, but also to perform?

Answer
Howdy Melissa,

I don't feel qualified to answer which song of his Beck likes the most, but I will say some songs have lasted more than others.  Namely, the radio singles.  However, one peculiar tune that Beck has sort of mutated to his state-of-mind at whatever time is "Pay No Mind" or "Got No Mind." The lyrics and even music have gone through various phases, and I think he just uses it as a reflection of what's going on in his life.  I'm not sure if he's still playing it at concerts nowadays, but in the past it was a concert staple.  Right now, I'd say his favorite song to perform is by far "Debra" or "I Wanna Get with You (and Your Sister Debra)." You need only to see the man perform the song to know what I mean.  He cold gets into it.  Have you seen Beck live?  Well, I guess that's all.

I specialize in Beckist recordings. As a matter of fact, I, myself, personally, am a Beckist. I enjoy helping those who are just beginning in their path to a Beckian existence and understanding. It is only by pursuing such ends (those of the Bekkah), that we may all bask in the cosmic rush, the immense radiance, the celestial glow, the vast space of brilliant warmth that we can begin to grow, to meet our full potential as human beings, to cast away all that has ever come before and live a pure life of devotion to pop star fanaticism, idolatry, and general fervor for the corporate invasion, plundering, and saturation of our minds, spirits, intellects, and noggins. I can answer your questions, for I am a true believer and make tapes that spread the sound, words, sonic profusion, oral emanations, and lyrical mischievery of the messiah, savior, redeemer, rescuer, and lord, only and only, seen and seen and seen.
