Beck - Mellow Gold: Wikipedia Album Entry
Mellow Gold is the third studio album by American alternative rock musician Beck, as well as his major label debut. Mellow Gold was released on March 1, 1994 (see 1994 in music) on the strength of the surprise hit "Loser" (U.S. #10). Informed by the irreverent Gen X slacker and punk-influenced anti-folk styles of his earlier independent work, critics noted its hybrid of styles and ironic, witty lyrics. The decidedly anti-commercial attitude of Mellow Gold unexpectedly became a commercial success, and the album went platinum. Because of the novelty style of "Loser," Beck was initially perceived by some as a flash in the pan, but the subsequent release of critically-acclaimed album Odelay has silenced these claims.
In an effort to get the album into stores such as Wal-Mart and Kmart, which do not stock albums with a "parental advisory sticker", a "clean" version of the album was released.
Mellow Gold reached #13 in the U.S., and #41 in the UK. As of July 2008, Mellow Gold has sold 1.2 million copies in the United States.

Beck - Mellow Gold Lyrics
Beck - Loser Lyrics
In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Beck - Fuckin With My Head (mountain Dew Rock) Lyrics
I ain't got no inclination
Give away my sweet sensation
Sleepin' in an old tool shed
Scumbag cryin' on his pillow
Beck - Whiskeyclone, Hotel City 1997 Lyrics
One more time
I was born in this hotel
Washing dishes in the sink
Beck - Truckdrivin' Neighbors Downstairs (yellow Sweat) Lyrics
Come on motherfucker put your clothes on come on
You lousy puke
Fuck you
Why donât you call your mommy?
More Beck - Truckdrivin' Neighbors Downstairs (yellow Sweat) Lyrics
Beck - Sweet Sunshine Lyrics
Judge me on the inside
With a finger full of gravy
Wanna get you on the sofa
Lady, wanna shake and bake me
Beck - Steal My Body Home Lyrics
Put me in a hole in the ground
With the money and the towel
And the women, all runnin' around
Beck - Pay No Mind (snoozer) Lyrics
{This is song two on the album
This is the album right here
Burn the album}
Beck - Nitemare Hippy Girl Lyrics
She took me off my guard with disappointment
I got sucked inside of her apartment
She's got dried up flowers, flaky skin
A beaded necklace and a bottle of gin
Beck - Mutherfuker Lyrics
Yo, homey don't play like that
?
Hey, mr. asshole, what's your dirty hassle
Beck - Beercan Lyrics
Alcohol on my hands
I got plans to ditch myself and get outside
Dancing women, throwing plates
Decapitating their laughing dates
Beck - Blackhole Lyrics
Windy, windy
Looking for a better home
Gotta be, gotta be
Running out of light bulbs
Beck - Soul Suckin Jerk Lyrics
I got a job making money for the man
Throwing chicken in the bucket with the soda pop can
Puke green uniform on my back
I had to set it on fire in a vat of chicken fat
