Debra (song)

"Debra" is a song by American musician Beck. At first, Beck had tried to record "Debra" with the Dust Brothers on the Odelay album, but thought it was too ironic. The song debuted in 1996 and, as Beck pointed out, "It became the centerpiece of the set, it was the song that most people reacted to, rather than the songs they had heard on the radio. playing. " The song was eventually included on the 1999 Midnite Vultures album. The song maintains a cult.

Continues the theme of the song "Loser", but considering that song is related to being a bum in life, "Debra" refers to being a bum in love and one worried too. It ridicules some desires of men and the fashion of R & B songs and pop music about sex. The song contains influences from "Raspberry Beret" by Prince. Beck, on his Sea Change tour, admitted how much he detested the song and changed, with great effect, as many of the lyrics as possible in improvisation. The song was covered by the German industrial artist Kompressor. The Kompressor version is called "Kompressor Want To Get With You."
