About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.
Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).
The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zealand band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

"Lady, step inside my Hyundai." Best line in this song. I once knew a man who was (and still is) the living embodiment of this song. A legend in his own mind . . .

There is no one on the planet like Beck. I was fortunate to have seen the Midnite Vultures tour and he blew my head off. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.
Beck is the best thing to have come out of the '90s.

I remember buying the "Midnight Vultures" CD back in '99, putting this song on in the car outside the store, and almost getting in a wreck from laughing so hard. My travelling partner and I had to play that sucker four times straight, which is the mark of a genius song. A few years later, The Flight of the Conchords came out with their show on HBO, and I couldn't help but think, "This group has based their entire routine off of "Debra"!".

Wow, that was amazing. His vocal range is insane
You know when I picked up Mellow Gold back in the early 90`s I did not see Beck becoming the next Marvin Gaye.
F***ing incredible. I wonder if Prince ever heard it. Beck is the greatest musical genius since McCartney.
I seriously feel like people don’t talk about Beck’s insane vocal range enough. Like he goes sooo fuckin low normally, and then just kills the high notes in this song. Especially that goddamn last note of the chorus. I keep trying to cover this song myself, but that friggen note is so friggen just out of reach 😂
damn this should be a million views
Been a fan for 26 years. This cat is awesome!
He's an original and that set it straight if you really know music period.
The type of performance you have to watch over and over
Was lucky enough to see him perform this in Cincy at the Taft Theater & they lowered a huge bed w/red satin sheets onto the stage for him to sing this on. One of my all time favorite Beck shows!

This is beautiful and sweet and fun and Beck is adorable. So happy to have found this!
Ain't doing a Prince impression. This is funky soul love music ❤️❣️❣️💙
4:02 fuckin lost it when he just dipped out of frame like that 😆
This is seriously one of my all time favorite songs. The musicianship, his sincerity-- and the lyrics-- pure genius. There *is* that little sci-fi-ology thing, but it's not in the song, so it doesn't bother me. ;)
a song that makes you groove and laugh. one of my favorites.
This comes off as a spoof, but is actually a brilliantly written song
2020 i like this song😍🔥
How have I never seen this before. Incredible.
If you don't LOVE this I don't want to know you, full stop.
You will never understand how close to home and my life that these lyrics hit me. So ridiculous it's scary.
Fuckin fantastic song and performance!!!
LOVE SONG OF A GENERATION
I remember this tour like it was 1999!
the drummer in the background from 5:42 to the end is FEELING IT
I used to put this on when my roommate was getting down with her boyfriend. I was just trying to help set the mood.
Thank you God 4 BECK !
Man got some lungs.. That's for sure.. Grew up on the early albums, such a super talent!
“Girl I only want to be down with you” lol

Such a superb song. Great brass too.
Beck is just that dude.
This gifted hansen dude ... experienced a debra performance live on tour in Germany back in the days, still thankful. Thank you for the great music(wo)manship of all these people on stage ... pure genius enriched with a juicy, fruity comedy sparkle ... 🙏🙏🙏
To get on TV at this point in time with music like this your band had to look either like this or naked D'Angelo.
So good
Pure genius.
Damn! Beck ... reminds me of early Mick Jagger .. great falsetto
Beck. This is Debra. I wanna get with you right freaking now! This is such a sweet song.
Oh maestro!!!! Bring it on home BAYYYBEEE
