Even Beck’s Record Label Finds His Lyrics Inscrutable

1/31/08, 5:41 pm EST


Soon to be a collector’s item, the initial run of Beck’s recently-released tenth anniversary edition of Odelay was mistakenly shipped to stores with a lyrics booklet that contained “unproofed lyrics that were taken from a lyrics website.” In other words, rather than asking Beck himself, the lyrics were taken, for “layout purposes,” from one of those websites you go to when you want to figure out what Snow is rapping in “Informer.” Beck apologizes for the oversight, and arrangements are being made to provide anyone who purchased the incorrect lyrics booklet with a corrected version, free of charge. Personally, we like the incorrect lyrics. “She’s alone in a new delusion” is certainly clearer than “She’s alone in the new pollution.”

As long as the words on the CD itself are correct, I’m good.

How the fuck did the Web site fuck up a lyric that includes the song’s title? Jesus.

Wait. Can you say, GENIUS?

Wait, so people who have the first Deluxe Edition will be able to get a new corrected copy of it for free?
