Where It's At Lyrics

Edit Lyrics There's a destination a little up the roadFrom the habitations and the towns we knowA place we saw the lights turn lowThe jig-saw jazz and the get-fresh flowPulling out jives and jamboree handoutsTwo turntables and a microphoneBottles and cans just clap your hands just clap your handsWhere it's at!I got two turntables and a microphoneWhere it's at!I got two turntables and a microphoneWhere it's at!I got two turntables and a microphoneWhere it's at![robot vocal effect] I got two turntables and a microphone(take me home with my elevator bones!)(that was a good drum break)Pick yourself up off the side of the roadWith your elevator bones and your whip-flash tonesMembers only hyponotizersMove through the room like ambulance driversShine your shoes with your microphone bluesHirsutes with your parachute fruitsPassing the dutchie from coast to coastLike my man Gary Wilson rocks the mostWhere it's at!I got two turntables and a microphoneWhere it's at!I got two turntables and a microphone(Man [spoken]: "What about those who swing both ways?

Lyrics cannot contain links. Lyric edit submitted successfully and is pending approval. Approvals usually take 24 hours. Edit Cancel Editing Tips Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Beck is what he is. He makes music just for the sake of making it. I bet he doesn't give a shit how many albums he sells. He can do a lot of other things. You know he co-authored a cook book with Julia Child before she died?

They didn't call him a renaissance man for nothing.

This song kicks ass.

Kneebone: His grandfather was part of a group called fluxus in the 60's that attemped many different things including bringing high art to the common person. So I'm sure at some point he did make make some sculpture out of trash.

Dude, his newer stuff like Seachange is good, just more mellow... Beck is so awesome because of his versatality. I wish they had some Seachange on here to comment about. This song has always been one of my favourite songs, though... I love the lyics... I especially liked the video.

eokram, I agree. Two turntables and a microphone? I always wondered if that was sexual or not. Where it's at indeed.

I love the "take me home with my elevator bones" and "shine your shoes with your microphone blues."

What about those who swing both ways? AC-DC's? haha, sexellent.

i think beck is a creative genius in terms of music. he is to music what thom yorke (radiohead) is to lyrics. beck is constantly experimenting with new things and when it sounds good, it sounds great
