At least you knew it was Spanish.

I listened to the song thinking it was jibberish for like 100k listens in. Wasn't until a friend pointed it out and now it makes so much more sense.

Also it looks like I should give 2000s Portishead another shot. And all y'all's should give 2000s Beck another shot as well hehe. No but seriously I didn't realize how fantastic it was... Was a 90s fan and didn't get into 2000s until like 08?

In all fairness, I should have looked up the lyrics but I guess I just went by how I've always heard it. No wonder, I didn't get good grades in spanish class

Yeah in all honesty I've never really been into anything by Beck since "Mellow Gold", in my mind he's a debut-album wonder. But this song is certainly affable and charming enough, but The Rip is just a masterstroke (again coming from someone who isn't a big Portishead fan)

Agreed. I'd actually never seen it before today.

Wow. I like 'em both but neither jumps out as clearly above the other.

I think I'll just sit this one out, at least for now. Maybe one will either grab or offend me after a few more listens.

If you find yourself on the fence for this one, just remember that Beck is a Scientologist.

I've always enjoyed "Girl". It's a very good choice from Beck's 2000s output.

"The Rip" is an emotional powerhouse. Beth's voice tears at my soul, and the way that the song transitions from semi-acoustic ballad to Krautrock is divine.

Love both, but I prefer 90s Portishead work, while Girl is one of Beck's quirkiest and coolest singles. I'm going for that one.

Ouch - for nearly anything Portishead released in the 90s, I'd totally have to slow down against my own nomination. This Portishead track though didn't do much for me, so easy vote for me... even if I'm losing terribly!

Girl is a nice little ray of sunshine but I'd vote for The Rip over almost anything we've had so far.
