->''There's a destination a little up the road\\
From the habitations and the towns we know\\
A place we saw the lights turn low\\
Jig-saw jazz and the get-fresh flow\\
Pulling out jives and jamboree handouts\\
Two turntables and a microphone\\
Bottles and cans, just clap your hands\\
Just clap your hands''

''Odelay'' is the second official studio album by American AlternativeRock artist Music/{{Beck}}, released in June 1996 by Bong Load Records (in conjunction with DGC Records in the US and Creator/GeffenRecords abroad). It was produced in part by the Dust Brothers, who also worked on the classic Music/BeastieBoys album ''Music/PaulsBoutique'', and many similarities can be seen between the two, almost to the point where ''Odelay'' can be summed up as "[[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace the alt-rock version of]] ''Paul's Boutique''".

Added DiffLines:

* LighterAndSofter: Compared to ''Music/MellowGold'', this album is, for the most part, a lot more accessible and lighthearted, with more of a party feel to it. This almost wasn't the case, as some of the earliest material he recorded before he decided to work with the Dust Brothers was far more depressing and acoustic themed - of these songs, only "Ramshackle" made it onto the record proper, though "Brother" and "Feather in Your Cap" were included as bonus tracks on the deluxe edition.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: The "flying mop" on the cover is a Hungarian sheepdog, also known as a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komondor Komondor]], whose famously long coats naturally form into cords as the dog ages.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


The album further established, and even [[UpToEleven accentuated]], Beck's eclectic mix of hip-hop, rock, folk, country, and soul, among other genres. Producing several singles ("New Pollution", "Where It's At", and "Devils Haircut", for example) that became favorites on AlternativeIndie radio as well as Creator/{{MTV}}, ''Odelay'' proved after ''Music/MellowGold'' and "Loser" that Beck wasn't a OneHitWonder.
