coooooooooool i love this song

The kids these days are such potty-mouths. Can't they say "Gosh darn right, it's a beautiful day"? Must they curse all the time? I get so tired of that shit.

I believe The Presidents of the United States were Beck's backup band. At least that's what Beck said just before he introduced them at KROQs Acoustic Xmas show back in the early 90s...



goddammit! (pimp)

Well, personally I think he's singing "G_d" damn which makes it ok because of the underscore. Of course I could be wrong, it could be "Gawd" damn right which means he's not even talking about
the G_d.

Actually, I'm not taking your convictions lightly but personally I don't think that this is what was meant by "name in vain".

Oh yeah, nice song :D

Weird. Just don't let your two-year-old hear it! Can you imagine your little kid blundering around the house, spouting "G*DDAMN RIGHT it's a beautiful day" in his/her piping voice, especially with company? Niiiiccce. :p

God damn right (pimp)

The Eels are amazing -- thanks RP. And the new album comes out June 3 -- I'll be in line to buy it!

Actualy the EELS were never a Beck cover band. Don't know if anyone said anything about this. But E has been making music since the early 90's around the same time Beck came out so there is no way he was in a Beck cover band. They hav'nt even coverd a Beck song. Either way cool to see EELS fans in and around NC.

Peace Out,

I bought this CD and it is absolutely one of my all time favorites. I got the censored version and it still sounds great.

Man do these guys even have a BAD song? They rock!

Hate to tell you this.. but you could be wrong in your religious beliefs...

I seriously doubt god is going to sit there on your judgment day and knock you into hell for saying god damned or anything similar.. especially if you rescued kids from burning buildings and led a generally good life..

I think any of you that believe *I'm* going to hell are just fooling yourselves, or are hypocrites, or for those *true* believers, you shouldn't be listening to anything on this station as much of the music is by heathens, drug addicts, perverts, satanists, revivalists, hell.. a crap shoot of artists.. listening to ANY of them would certainly be akin to listening to the devil's words almost directly..

Instead... I would say you should judge for yourselves, preach to yourself and your family, leave the rest of us to do the same, if you like it, you like it, if you hate it, you hate it...

we can all agree to disagree... that's freedom.

PS:
Dude? Where's my god?...
where's your god dude..
dude its not funny, where's my god dude...
Dude!! you lost your god dude..

I'll say it is!! (pimp) BOOYAH!!

Good. That's pretty much how the system's supposed to work!

I agree. I love the tune but why does this song needlessly have to take the Lord’s name in vain? Who's giving us the "beautiful day" after all? Personally, I find it objectionable and turn my sound off when it plays.

seems to me to be either a gimmick and/or cynical. wears thin very quickly - and, no, I am not a "god"-guy. as Woody Allen once said, "if there is a god, the best we could say about him (it) is that he's an underachiever".
;)

Makes me smile....

Goddamn good song. I too am very happy to have been introduced to this band through RP. They've been growing on me steadily ever since my initial annoyance with "Friendly Ghost." Thanks!

Really like the tune, but the incessant "goddamm" is really grating. Funny how I never thought it would bug me, but each time it triggers a conditional negative response. It make take some time to lose that, but hearing this over and over again won't do it.

this song is soooooo cool!

The most optimistically pessimistic song ever made. Gotta love it!

love this tune...what are the Eels all about????

All I can say is...

Dude? Where's my blues?

;)

Pretty decent song in any case.. :D

God Darn right, that's a beautiful song.......

This song really cheers me up....and I find myself sometimes saying those lyrics to myself when I am having a good day.

Yes, it does take/? borrow/? rip off/? pay homage to/? Hang On, Sloopy's main riff. . . Lyrics not worth much in either song, but this one is bounceable . . . feels right for that kids' game, Moonbounce!

I hear it too!!

The said G*d damn

G*d damn right. Nice.

I think this is a truly great song. Here's another reason why RIAA is stupid. Without RP, I'd think the Eels were a one hit wonder novelty act. Because of RP, I've bought a bunch of their disks.

Also, just as an aside, this is well used in the ONLY movie Tom Green is in that's any good - "Road Trip." Road Trip makes me crack up any time I see it. Its stupid, sophmoric, full of gratutious nudity (Amy Smart, yummy yummy yummy), drug references and bad acting, and despite all that, just hilarious. Highly recommended.

HAhaha! Well spotted.
:p
