Where It's At Lyrics
From the habitations and the towns we know
A place we saw the lights turn low
The jig-saw jazz and the get-fresh flow
Two turntables and a microphone
Bottles and cans just clap your hands just clap your hands
I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at!
I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at!
I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at!
[robot vocal effect] I got two turntables and a microphone
(that was a good drum break)
With your elevator bones and your whip-flash tones
Members only hyponotizers
Move through the room like ambulance drivers
Shine your shoes with your microphone blues
Hirsutes with your parachute fruits
Passing the dutchie from coast to coast
Like my man Gary Wilson rocks the most
I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at!
I got two turntables and a microphone
Two turntables and a microphone
Two turntables and a microphone
Two turntables and a microphone
Two turntables and a microphone
Two turntables and a microphone
I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at!
I got two turntables and a microphone
(girl [spoken]: "That's beautiful, Dad.")
There's a destination a little up the road
From the habitations and the towns we know
A place we saw the lights turn low
The jig-saw jazz and the get-fresh flow
Two turntables and a microphone
Bottles and cans and just clap your hands
And just clap your hands
I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at!
I got two turntables and a microphone
(make it out, baby)
yeah, yeah, yeah
let's make it out, baby
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(scream)
telephone plastic baby
ahh, so good
oh, yeah
let's play good

Beck is what he is. He makes music just for the sake of making it. I bet he doesn't give a shit how many albums he sells. He can do a lot of other things. You know he co-authored a cook book with Julia Child before she died?
They didn't call him a renaissance man for nothing.
This song kicks ass.
yeah...you really stuck it to him...got three bucks back from...uh...not him...from a shitty music store. dumbfuck.
Kneebone: His grandfather was part of a group called fluxus in the 60's that attemped many different things including bringing high art to the common person. So I'm sure at some point he did make make some sculpture out of trash.
Dude, his newer stuff like Seachange is good, just more mellow... Beck is so awesome because of his versatality. I wish they had some Seachange on here to comment about. This song has always been one of my favourite songs, though... I love the lyics... I especially liked the video.
Two turntables and a microphone, that would be uh phallic imagery -- right?
Where it's at... well you decide.
eokram, I agree. Two turntables and a microphone? I always wondered if that was sexual or not. Where it's at indeed.
I love the "take me home with my elevator bones" and "shine your shoes with your microphone blues."
What about those who swing both ways? AC-DC's? haha, sexellent.
I like the bender version.
mark it down as "Crippled Robot mix"
mark it down as "Crippled Robot mix"
that was a good wash board break?
that was a good wash board break?
Personally, i love all of beck's song, you gotta respect they're music always, whats so wrong with change, ya know? anyway, this song rules, makes you think of just having good times with all your friends, and the whole two turntables, and a microphone is genious.... gotta love it.
i think beck is a creative genius in terms of music. he is to music what thom yorke (radiohead) is to lyrics. beck is constantly experimenting with new things and when it sounds good, it sounds great
awesome awesome song.
Beck is a genius!!!
