About This Track
'Beercan' by Beck is an alternative track from the album 'Mellow Gold' (1994). The lyrics tumble through a drunken spree of self sabotage and grotesque, comic set-pieces, with a streak of paranoia that keeps everything slightly out of focus. In amongst the chaos, the narrator insists, “Alcohol on my hands”, then races from one bizarre image to the next, from dancers smashing plates to warped game-show characters and a looming sense of coming down. The result is a manic, collage-like monologue that sounds like a joke told too fast to fully land.
"Beercan" is a single by Beck, from the album Mellow Gold, released 1st March 1994. The track is 4:00 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 8 articles about Beck.

Nigel Godrich mixes his first album of new material since 'Hyperspace'.

Duet version arrives as Beck prepares to launch his North American tour run.

The Nigel Godrich-mixed single precedes extensive theatre and amphitheatre run this autumn.

The song was previously played at his intimate performance at Lafayette in London last September.

'We Love L.A.' features an impressive lineup of guests including Judd Apatow, Pink, Inara George, Beck, Grohl’s daughter Violet, Karen O, and Tenacious D.
Beck sounds as vital and important as ever.
