I was introduced to the Pixies in the late eighties by a German friend when I lived in Berlin, and I was instantly blown away. Around 90/91 I saw them live for the first time, unfortunately with very bad sound in a third-rate venue (Metropol, Berlin). But - the best concert I ever experienced was the Pixies' performance at Berlin's Wuhlheide open air venue on June 29th 2004 - right after the reunion of the original line-up with Kim Deal on bass.
The Pixies of my youth were obviously a bit different, Frank had hair and was a bit thinner, and Kim Deal played bass...this bassist is Paz Lenchantin, of A Perfect Circle fame. She does well, its just not quite the same without Kim...
The lyrics are a retelling of the Biblical passage about Samson and Delilah. I don't think the female Delilah vocal was meant to be intelligible, just some coos and moans - could be wrong, but have yet to understand that part whether it is Kim or Paz singing that part.
The Pixies were legends...ahead of their times and heroes of many other bands. Frank Black is soooo good on this one...even if Kim isn't there...
One of the greatest bands ever.
The pixies r outstanding
One of my favorite songs from the Pixies! GOUGE AWAY 🔥
This song is legend!
This song is basically the first verse and first chorus of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.
@@hosermcmoose , TOTALLY AGREE‼️ Love this song, I still listen to it a lot.
One of my top 3 bands of all time! Been lucky enough to see them 3 times in Australia!

Agreed. I actually saw them two nights ago with Cat Power filling in for Paz, and it was stellar.
I've been a Pixies fan for 34 years now 😮

I was there 😊
The absence of Kim Deals voice really changes the song unfortunately
« - Making a song with only 3 chords will result in a poor song for sure »
Franck Black « - hold my beer and stay here, i'll come back soon » 😅
The first meaning of the song is a journey of Scuba diving but you can easily see other things......
Without kim you're reacting 1/2 pixies
