Beck - Satan Gave Me A Taco Lyrics






Satan gave me a taco and it made me really sick
The chicken was all raw and the grease was mighty thick
The rice was all rancid and the beans were so hard
I was gettin' kinda dizzy eatin' all the lard
There was aphids on the lettuce an' I ate every one
An' after I was done the salsa melted off my tongue
Pieces of tortilla got stuck in my throat
An' the stains on my clothes burned a hole through my coat
My stomach was a-tremblin' and I broke out in a rash
I was so dry and thirsty and I didn't have no cash
So I went and found a hose, tore off all my clothes
Turned on the water and it shot right up my nose
Some old lady came along and she thought I was a freak
So she beat me with a handbag till I could hardly speak
I was lying there naked, my body badly bruised
In a pool of my own blood, unconscious and confused
Well, the cops came and got me and threw me in their van
And I woke up on the ceiling and I couldn't find my hand
They took me to the judge, his eyes a-glowin' red
The courtroom was filled with witches and the dead
Well, the sheriff was a hellhound with fangs and claws
The prisoners were tied up and chained to the walls
The air was gettin' thick; the smoke was gettin' thicker
The judge read the verdict: said, "Cut off his head!"
Well, they placed me on the altar, and they raised up the axe
My head was about to explode when I noticed the Marshall stacks
I noticed all the smoke machines, cameras and the lights
Some guy with a microphone, runnin' around dancin' in tights
And I noticed the crew and the band playin' down below
And I realized I was in a rock video

So I went and joined the band and I went out on tour
And I smoked a lot of heroin and I passed out in manure
I made out with the groupies, started fires backstage
I made a lot of money and I gave it all away
Well, the band got killed, so I started a solo career
And I won all the awards and I drank all the beer
I opened up a taco stand just to smell the smell
Cookin' with the devil, fryin' down in hell

    🎵Santa gave me a taco and it really made me sick. The Chicken was all raw and grease was mighty thick. The rice was all ransid and beans was so hard. I felt kinda dizzy so I puked it on the floor! I went towards to Santa Claus saying It really taste like s*it. Santa Claus replied saying NO PRESENTS FOR YOU!🎵

  10. A.... H....

    Did Beck write this or is this a cover? I searched it on Spotify and only found the song by other people?

    A.... H....

    Pretty sure Beck wrote it. The lyrics are too good to be anyone else's (also it's from stereopathetic soulmanure)

    A.... H....

    It's Beck original but rights are not available. Beck recorded this with an small company, it's difficult to find any song of the entire album.

  11. G.... R....

    GREAT.

    And then you remember he's a scientologist.

  12. S.... A....

    That's one hell of a taco

    S.... A....

    *slow clap*

  13. M.... C....

    I am satan

  14. e.... ....

    Who in fucks sake puts rice on a goddam taco? Oh... Satan....

    e.... ....

    Chipotle

  15. s.... ....

    SATAN was way cool

  16. a.... s....

    I've been enjoying this video since 2008. Always makes me laugh.

  17. F.... ....

    This video always has a different thumbnail each time I look at it

  18. D.... S....

    As awesome as it is,it's no MTV Makes Me Want To Smoke Crack.But then again,Beck can do no wrong.

    D.... S....

    Doug Shank yup that’s my all time favorite song, MTV Makes Me Wanna Smoke Crack

  19. y.... K....

    Anyone notice Butthead in the courtroom and Beavis in the jail?

  20. N.... N....

    Boss song. But just imagine having to to listen to the cunt. Silly scientologist

    N.... N....

    Nar Nar. Cool man. That you said that.
    Fuckin Idiot

  21. M.... ....

    And the moral of the story is... Satan's taco's are fucking awesome!!!

    M.... ....

    ..and also Beck would rather sell tacos than be in a 'band' , having to play or sing another members riffs. no.. Beck plays the geetars, tinkles the banjee and drinks all the beer.

  22. P.... C....

    Middle of Hurricane Irma clean up here in the Glades and making tacos for as many as show up. So far 300+ have confirmed. I'll be playing this all day long!

  23. K.... G....

    There was aphids on the Taco... and I ate every one.

  24. D.... F....

    Why do I find this wildly hilarious? Just casually laughing my ass off while everyone staree at me like I'm crazy... before I know I'll be beaten with a hand bag and sent to the judge..,

  25. W.... B....

    eating all the lard

  26. M.... E....

    Whoever disliked this probably tongues justin beibers anal cavity in their dreams. There is nothing like old beck...dont get me wrong as i like mellow and odelay, but his older stuff is still the bombdiggety.

  27. J.... O....

    that old lady in the video.... possibly the Queen of England? It sure sounds like Beck is describing an experience in the cloning center. Amazing song

  28. J.... B....

    Satan is just a voice in your head. don't let him fuck with you. praise Jesus!

    J.... B....

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OMG WHAT A PRICK

  29. y.... ....

    Satan, can I have a little HOT sauce with that. Satan: " We have mild, medium, hot, excruciating, 5-alarm and my personal favorite, home style.

  30. N.... ....

    114 dislikes? WTF is wrong, great animation, and one of Beck's best songs. it's perfect.

  31. J.... M....

    He's obviously had taco bell....does that to me every time

  32. J.... H....

    So I went and joined the band...

  33. C.... K....

    did anyone else notice that the video is 4:20 min long??

  34. M.... ....

    3:00 Smoking a lot of anything is bad for the voice, Beck. Just sayin'.

  35. a.... z....

    One of the most forgotten, underrated songs in all of pop culture.

  36. P.... P....

    a little on the nose but I still loved it

  37. T.... ....

    very creative

  38. A.... G....

    I had absolutely no idea Beck wrote music like this.

    A.... G....

    Arthur Garwood Delahooke Yeah. The first song of his I heard was "wow". Completely different from this

    A.... G....

    Stereopathic soul manure bitches

    A.... G....

    also give the album one foot in the grave a listenin , :)

    A.... G....

    I like Golden Feelings for some reason

  39. s.... ....

    Holy crap! That was funny!

  40. B.... ....

    is this really a true story?

  41. e.... ....

    Butthead in courtroom at 1:54, Beavis in cell on wall at 2:04.

    Touche.

  42. E.... ....

    Heard this song when I was you g

  43. b.... ....

    Fucking brilliant!!

  44. D.... b....

    CHEEKI BREEKI

  45. J.... R....

    he wrote this song in my car on the way back from taco bell, lol

    J.... R....

    lol lot's of love or laughing out loud???

  46. J.... R....

    true taco hell experience

  47. G.... N....

    Just listened to this song for the first time in 13 years. Its even better lol...I now believe that this is how Beck started his career

    G.... N....

    Same I haven't heard this song in forever

    G.... N....

    I'd love it if this were how he started his career. But my theory is that he had no idea what to do with his life and he was tripping on acid and writing down his hallucinations when someone came across his notes and confronted him about it, and he said, "Oh no, they're not my LSD-induced hallucinations, they're, uh, the lyrics to a song I'm writing! That's it, the lyrics to a song! And I'm singing it, and my roommate is producing it." "Beck, what are you doing?" "I had to think of something. We just have to record song now." "But neither of us has any musical experience." "We record song now!"

  48. D.... ....

    fanatastic!

  49. S.... T....

    that is fukin hilarious

    S.... T....

    Simon Trejo so true

  50. S.... T....

    Satan is santa

  51. B.... D....

    Who is satan??

    B.... D....

    How old are you?

    B.... D....

    a lie, bad people use to make them feel like they have a reason to be on earth

    B.... D....

    Satan is the excuse all fanatic morons wield to make people who wanna exercise their free will feel bad, and, if those morons have political power, to put them in jail, kill them, send them to extermination camps, or destroy their lives. Prepare America, Trump is coming to get ya all!

    B.... D....

    Beck crafted the best lyrics produced during the 90s

    B.... D....

    Wow, surprisingly a flame war was avoided!

  52. M.... B....

    I'll never have a taco after this again.

  53. K.... M....

    Taco Hell 🔥🔥🔥😭

  54. G.... M....

    How did I get here..

  55. �.... �....

    Remember kids Satan doesn't look down on you, he'll always be beneath your feet wherever you go.

  56. c.... j....

    Lard Tacos..

  57. M.... S....

    This Is SICK. WHY THOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  58. A.... ....

  59. J.... S....

  60. c.... l....

    I have a few people in my mind I actually gave a taco too so

    A.... D....

    Still nice in October 2017!

  69. S.... ....

    The BEST period Beck had in his carreer. The lyrics and styles were so surreal people like Captain Beefheart and Salvador Dali would throw up two thumbs and cheer hysterical!

    S.... ....

    A.... G....

  90. D.... H....

    This video reminds me of the one for Radiohead's paranoid android.

  91. S.... H....

    Satan didn't do it.  It was good christian businessmen making a profit off suckers like you!

    S.... H....

    There are no good Christians

    S.... H....

    @hector gonzalez Yeah, that Martin Luther King sure was a horrible person, right?

    Please don't generalise.

  92. B.... H....

    Special guests, the Suicide Machines before they started to suck. Good call. This video is the tits, dude. You're rad.

  93. S.... ....

    I love how Dahlsim is in jail with Beavis.

    S.... ....

    the choking episode freaked me out.

  94. r.... ....

    Time for a taco run... 

  95. C.... S....

    everbody talks about beavis in jail but what about butt head in the jury

    C.... S....

    Butt head in the jury ?
    Missed that ! Although would suit his character as a bully over Beavis...
    He probably sent him to jail ! 😃

  96. s.... ....

    i was gettin' kind of dizzy, eating all the lard...

  97. T.... H....

    Hey, this is the guy who animated the video. Thanks @santoni69 for posting it, as I don't have the rights to Beck's music so my upload got taken down. This was my sophomore year animation from the School of Visual Arts back in 2003. Inked on paper, scanned and colored in Photoshop. A flood in my Brooklyn basement apartment destroyed the original pages but it's all good, still got the finished product. Nevermind the Suicide Machines music snobbery, kind of embarrassed about that :P

    T.... H....

    Thank u so much for posting this!! Love the animation

    T.... H....

    good shit Teddy

    T.... H....

    I honestly thought this was an official animation. Wasn't this on newgrounds first?
