2017 - November 18 - Loser

I have a trio of self-deprecating songs in mind. I started yesterday with Amazing, which is really is an amazing song about feeling inadequate. Today, the follow-up is a lot more free-flow. It is Beck, with a song from 1993 - his first hit. This is the song that had just about everybody singing in Portuguese: Soy un perdedor then continuing in English: I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me.

While the chorus is not a happy one, the beat and melody is very uplifting. I loved this song when it was released, but of the three self-deprecating songs, it is probably the weakest one. But here is Beck, with his 1993 single that ended up on 1994's Mellow Gold: Loser
