    "comment": "Beck had originally attempted to record \"Debra\" with the Dust Brothers for Odelay, but was either not happy with the recording, or felt it didn't fit on the album, or both. (\"I thought it was too jokey,\" Beck once admitted.) But the song was a natural for the stage: \"What happened is we started playing it live and it became the centerpiece of the whole set. It was the song that people would react to more than the songs that they'd heard on the radio. So we kept playing it and playing it.\" It took on a life of its own, and the energy that was breathed into the song was clearly noted. \"I think its life began as being tongue-in-cheek and silly, but somewhere along the way, like the way we performed it every night, it acquired some other dimensions,\" Beck explained.\n--\nHere's Beck in a live performance of \"Debra\" on Dutch television back in 1999: https://youtu.be/OuvR9d73OlI https://www.beck.com/",
