Flavor (Remix)
Writers: Campbell/Spencer/Explosion
Published: Cyanide Breathmint Music, BMG Songs inc. ASCAP/Dirty Shirt, BMI
From: Flavor [PROMO] (CD, US) / Dirty Shirt Rock 'n' Roll: The First Ten Years (CD, US)
Source: Pop-Catastrophe.co.uk
Notes: Text in BLUE is sung by Beck, text in RED is incorrect. The Ida Red in this song is probably a reference to the traditonal American song titled Ida Red ("Ida Red's identity is unknown, but is feminine in most uses.") which is cited as being the model for Maybellene by Chuck Berry ("It was an old fiddle tune called 'Ida Red.' I changed the music and re-arranged it, Chuck re-wrote the words"). This remix also has some Flava Flav samples and a different recording of the Beck verse (VIEW ALBUM LYRICS).
Well, Ida Red
You got the taste
Explosion man
It got the flavor
No history
Don't got to know
Well, Ida Red
It takes you there

You can't be cooler
No rock 'n' roller
Well, Ida Red, she got the flavor

You got the flavor
You got the flavor
You got the flavor
You got the flavor

Blues Explosion!

Yeah, that's right, we're number one
Number one in Philadelphia
Number one in D.C.
Number one in Chicago
[What goes on]
Number one in Detroit
Number one in Austin
Huston, Dallas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Vancouver
We're number one in New York City, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Cincinnati, Jackson Mississippi
I said the blues is number one
The blues is number one

Soul

Flavor
Got the flavor
Got the flavor

[What man? What's Beck?]

I Feel so good about a piece of trash
The birds are drunk
They drink it from a glass
White Lightning and an old fruit jar
Pomp box rock, rocking where you are
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Juiced up
From Africa to Spain
Ghetto blastin' to the diamond lane
Insane on the mundane

[What goes up]

Touch the bucket
Dig your heels
Feather duster named cigrarette wheels, spinning back
[unknown]

'Cause I got the flavor
Yeah, I got the flavor
Yeah, I got the flavor
Yeah, I got the flavor

[This is Tommy jam down with Beck and Mike D, white boys in the house]

Out in the moonlight taking requests
Ripping the blues out of your vest
Strip-mine they built to flood
Strictnine
, when you hit 'em with the thud
When you dig up the past
The bones are just toys
Beat your fists through the static and the noise
'Cause I got the blues and I can't be satisfied
You can keep the blues
We gonna catch that train and ride

Flavor
Flavor
Flavor
[What goes up]
Got the taste
[What goes up]
Gut bucket
