Lyrics:
Ah come on, start it . . . it's all good!

There's a destination a little up the road
From the habitations and the towns we know
A place we saw the lights turned low
The jigsaw jazz and the get-fresh flow
Pulling out jives and jamboree handouts
Two turntables and a microphone
Bottles and cans and just clap your hands
And just clap your hands
Where it's at, I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at, I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at, I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at, Take me home with my elevator bones!

Pick yourself up off the side of the road
With your elevator bones and your whipflash tones
Members Only, hypnotizers
Move through the room like ambulance drivers
Shine your shoes with your microphone blues
Hirsutes with the parachute fruits
Passin' the dutchie from coast to coast
Like my man Gary Wilson rocks the most
Where it's at, I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at, I got two turntables and a microphone
What about AC/DCs?

Two turntables and a microphone
Two turntables and a microphone
Two turntables and a microphone

Where it's at, I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at, I got two turntables and a microphone
Oh honey, Make Out City is a two-horse town.
That's beautiful, Dad.


There's a destination . . . from the habitations
A place we saw the lights turned low
The jigsaw jazz and the get-fresh flow
Pulling out jives and jamboree handouts
Two turntables and a microphone
Bottles and cans and just clap your hands
And just clap your hands
Where it's at, I got two turntables and a microphone
Where it's at, I got two turntables and a microphone

Makin' out, baby . . . let's make it.
 
The Song:

This "Where It's At" remix was done by Mario C, who worked a bunch with the Beastie Boys and produced a handful of things with Beck, and Mickey P, a frequent engineer, mixer and programmer for Beck's recordings.

There's something somewhat surreal about their mix, but I'm not sure how to describe it. They sort of push everything together a bit, and redo the rhythm. It feels alternately somewhat glamourous, but also somewhat creepy. The highlights are the scratching in the middle (sampled from a Biz Markie song), and the new bass line.
