Beck's 'Girl' - Fold-ins are everywhere!

submitted by Spiff

1 decade 7 years 1 month 2 weeks ago

I've always thought fold-ins were rather neat. For this Beck video, the director took the idea and inserted it into the world around the musician, folding in things like shelves, maps, and even whole buildings.

Edit: I noticed that some of the writing in the fold-ins is hard to read in this version, so here's a link to a higher-res version (which unfortunately can't be embedded)

In the high-res version, you can make out the name of Al Jaffee, the Fold-in's creator, on a TV screen in one scene.

I really like Beck's last 2 albums. There's hardly 1 single song that isn't at least nice.

What's he saying before "girl"? It's bizarrely sung if it's an everyday word.

Most places seem to say it's 'my sun-eyed girl,' but I found one site which has it down as 'cyanide girl.' The latter does sort of fit with the other death imagery in the lyrics, but I don't know for sure which it really is. Beck can be such a mumbler sometimes!

It's *dead, Jim!

Invocations (dead) cannot be called by servus because servus is not privileged - sorry.
