Mixed Bizness

Beck · Midnite Vultures

I'm mixing business with leather
Christmas with Heather
Freaks flock together
And make all the b-boys scream

All right
Turn it up now
All right
Turn it up now

Word up to the manthing
She's always cold lamping
Visine at the canteen
I just wanna watch you dance

Do you wanna ride on the Baltic Sea
I'll be your mistress C.O.D.
I'll comb your hair
Re-write your diary
Pour champagne on a honey bee

She can really do me
She can look right through me
And make all the b-boys scream

I'm mixing fitness with leather
Homework with Heather
Freaks flock together
And make all the lesbians scream

All right
Turn it up now
All right
Turn it up now

Mixed Bizness

Mixed Bizness stands as a defining track on Beck's 1999 album Midnite Vultures, capturing the artist's signature ability to blend disparate genres into a cohesive sonic landscape. The recording reflects a period of intense experimentation where rock, hip-hop, and electronic textures collide with chaotic energy. This era marked a departure from the lo-fi indie sensibilities of his previous work, embracing a more polished yet eccentric production style. The song exemplifies the album's broader themes of urban anxiety and cultural fragmentation, showcasing Beck's knack for merging the mundane with the surreal. As part of a celebrated discography that spans decades, this track remains a testament to his enduring influence on alternative music and his willingness to push creative boundaries without relying on conventional song structures.
