Debra (song)

"Debra" is a song by American alternative rock band Beck, released in 1999. It appeared as a B-side on the single "Midnight Vultures," the title track from the album of the same name. While not initially included on the album itself, "Debra" later gained wider recognition due to its frequent performance at live shows and its inclusion on subsequent compilations and reissues.

The song is notable for its smooth, R&B-influenced sound, a departure from some of Beck's more experimental and eclectic work. It features a prominent bassline, falsetto vocals from Beck, and lyrical content that describes an infatuation with two women named Debra. The song is characterized by its humorous and somewhat absurd lyrics, describing a romantic pursuit taking place at a JC Penney department store.

"Debra" is considered a fan favorite and a highlight of Beck's live performances. Its catchy melody and unique blend of musical styles have contributed to its lasting appeal.
