Get Real Paid

Performed with Beck during their 2002 tour as his backing band.

BUTTER version with the Flaming Lips 2002

Reportedly, the Lips asked Beck to do "Get Real Paid" specifically... somewhat to Beck's chagrin! The story goes that during their rehearsals, there was a couple of days when Beck was away. While he was gone, the Lips worked up "Get Real Paid," along with "Nicotine & Gravy." The Lips' drummer/roadie, Kliph Scurlock explained, "Those were a couple songs that we intentionally stripped down to nothing and then built back up. When we played 'Get Real Paid' for him, [Beck] was like 'That was really cool! What was it?'"

Beck used some sort of robot vocoder on his vocals for the full effect. The only time Beck and the Lips did a show and did not play this was on the PBS TV show, Austin City Limits.

I know you really want it 'cause your Daddy's always on it.
And he knows just how to flaunt it. He got pictures in his wallet.
And he wanna be your lover. Does he look just like my mother?
Does he cover you like butter and just leave you in the gutter?

I wanna know if I'm worth your time.
There's so much to do before you die.
Thursday night, I think I'm pregnant again.
Touch my ass if you're qualified.
