10 Songs That Are Impossible To Understand

10. Loser - Beck

The entire decade of the '90s didn't really rely on the intellectual side of the spectrum. From the styles of grunge populating the airwaves to the strange ventures into art rock, you would consider yourself lucky to come across any song that made even a shred of sense. If you wanted the king of disconnected phrases though, you'd only need to look to Beck on Loser.

Being the main song that made him a star in the age of irony, Loser is almost a genre car crash as it is, having everything from backwards choruses to a hip hop influenced DIY production centered around an acoustic slide guitar lick. That sentence alone is already a bit of a car crash to take in...just wait until you actually listen to what's coming out of his mouth.

Starting from living in the time of chimpanzees, Beck pretty much uses every psuedo rap verse as an exercise in word association, as he talks about everything from a man being hung with a guitar string and spray painting vegetables to even getting crazy with the cheese wizz. As much as this song isn't really that coherent, it's placed so low because that actually might be the point. It sure as hell isn't all that intellectual, but when you strip away the words and leave the aesthetic, this is the '90s in one song.
