High 5! (Rock the Catskills) Lyrics
High 5, High 5!
[rappers]: " C'mon on! 8! Everybody! C'mon! 7! C'mon, now! 6! 5!
Aw, yeah, I like that shit."
A slap in the face I love the taste
All my days with my wheelchair ways
Watch me die in my suicide high
I don't mean to cause a holy commotion
When I step to the room with a powerful motion
Leopard skin let the records spin
'Round and round with the speed of sound
Rocking the plastic like a man from the Catskills!
High 5! More dead than alive!
Rocking the plastic like a man from a casket!
Put that gadget in the random mode
Cripple candy rocking the Tandy
Rhumba, buckshot, doing the foxtrot
In my car sweating like a dog
Beers and chairs new frontiers
On my way from the 'Frisco Bay
Dixieland, soda-pop man
Rocking the plastic like a man from the Catskills!
High 5! More dead than alive!
Rocking the plastic like a man from a casket!
Talking about popping chocolate
Beck--Like in the last century
[rapper]: "Turn that shit off, man! What's wrong with you?
Man, get the other record!..............Damn!"
Rocking the plastic like a man from a casket!
High 5! More dead than alive!
Rocking the plastic like a man from a casket!
High 5! More dead than alive!
Rocking the plastic like a man from a casket!
Rocking the plastic like a man from a casket!
designer jeans!
say, say, say, say, say: Ooh, la la, sassoon!
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! Everybody!
One more time, let me hear you say: Ooh, la la, sassoon!
Just do it everybody, c'mon! Now I want the ladies.
All the ladies, say: Sergio Valente!
Sing it, girls. Let me hear you say: Sergio Valente!
Say Jordache turned it up!"
"High 5! More dead than alive! Rocking the plastic like a man from a casket!"
Creepy. High 5 is slang for HIV. Rocking the plastic could mean having sex with a condom.
Freaking weird tune, but cool if you like distortion and weird noise. I really do.
Hands down the weirdest track on Odelay, even if it is pretty cool. Was he just making fun of rap in general with it?
hahahahaha this song is the shit! Whenever my friends say "high five" I'm like "MORE DEAD THAN ALIVE!!!" and they're all like wtf? This song is crazy. My favorite song on odelay.
what record is the turn that shit off sample from
tthisssssssssss ong is so funnnnnnn
TURN THAT SHIT OFF MAN.
They should start playing this on the radio stations across America. Then everyone'll be like "wow. like lol--um whose dis?" "beck." "ew. that loser guy? screw dat--i'ma try to get rich...or die tryin'."
It'd be a fun reaction. But not as fun as this song. :]
It is a really cool track, one of my favorites. Perhaps its a fun poke at the hip hop genre?
When I hear "Rocking the plastic like a man from the Catskills," I think of a dapper elderly gentleman who looks like Uncle Junior from The Sopranos burning up credit cards buying expensive souvenirs for his young, attractive, gum-snapping mistress while vacationing in the Catskill mountains. Which totally makes me love this song even more than I normally would.
"High 5 more dead than alive"... at least on the 1st paragraph I understand that is talking about how terminal ill people spend their last days doped without knowing that they are going to die... it is sad, a friend of mine is dying from cancer and he is all the times high...
"Watch me die in my suicide high"
