About This Track
'Sissyneck' by Beck is an alternative track from the album 'Odelay' (1996). The lyrics adopt a brash, surreal self-portrait, dismissing conventional transport and fuel, then pivoting through images of getting nowhere, a “broken” neck and clothing that will not grow, and a stolen wife and rhinestone life. The writing keeps the voice dismissive and jokey, with lines that sound like mock-logic and quick scene changes, undercutting any straightforward confession. It is propelled by the repeated insistence of not needing essentials, ending on a truncated thought that keeps the comic momentum going.
"Sissyneck" is a single by Beck, from the album Odelay, released 1996. The track is 3:53 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.
