Pixies are like the perfect midpoint between Smiths-era alternative rock and the Grunge era.
Best comment I've ever read!
Saw em in 1991 at Manchester GMex, up there with Nirvana and Sigur Ros for best live performances.
Wow great way of putting it . I love the pixies but can’t stand the smiths or the doors. Give me nirvana or Alice In Chains though
Spot on 🤞 The Smiths are my favourite band and I adore grunge and Pixies are the perfect mix of the melodic elements of The Smiths mixed with the abrasiveness of grunge.
True. Add a bit of The Fall...
Pixies are one of those bands that are called "They are your favorite band's favorite band"
Nirvana
that's the beatles or velvet underground

Placebo!
Another song where Kim burns her one word chorus into your brain.
Yes!!
into the white
Kim is God.
Im a guy but i always try to sing along with her part of the chorus in her voice. Idk why but her voice is so captivating. Debaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaa
@@GetintheCAH we all try
when you're 50 and finally understand the song you loved at 21 and realise it is about a surrealist Spanish movie you saw when you were 15
The clues were there all along!
the andolusian dawg!!
Jeez dude you nailed it
And the eyeball was actually a cow's eye!
Buñuel rocks!
Released in 1989, sounds like 2089.
sounds like 1979
I agree with that statement as well.
:)
Like ABBA?
This album is so avant-garde. That's a fact.
Pixies is one of those bands you don't get tired of
Maybe the only one, after all...
@Hunter Vonnegut it isn't
So true ! Never...
Monkey gone to heaven
I had Come on Pilgrim, Surfer Rosa and Doolittle all on vinyl.
I threw them all away.
Yes you can get tired of The Pixies.
People think Alternative and Grunge music started in Seattle but it really started in Amherst Massachusetts with The Pixies and Dinosaur Jr.
Well if you ask me, Sonic Youth or Gang of Four were formed some years before them.
Sonic Youth and Husker Du and REM
The U-men and The Melvins existed in Seattle before the Pixies. Pixies owes a lot to Hüsker Dü
Alternative started before that
REM was playing "alternative rock" in the early 1980s. But the Pixies influenced the Seattle scene, especially Nirvana.
They were legit alternative when no one respected alternative, later everyone agreed they were the best.
The ending portion with Kim Deal’s voice over that guitar riff is one of the most heavenly pieces of music I have ever heard.
Me too. I have a crush on her. Like probably a bunch o' dudes...and chicks....do :)
@@deansacca781 don't
For me, it is when the drums stop in the middle and we hear the crushing gravely tone of 'ahh ho ho ho'. That is something else
Not sure where it comes from but i love where it sends me
just listened to that part, and have to agree!
These guys were a huge influence on many big bands - Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Weezer, Kings of Leon, Radiohead & many others
and number girl in japan
Yeah, I remember Kurt Cobain always cited the pixies as an influence. 😊
And even David Bowie.....
@@danielg.w5733 speaking of japan, they also heavily influenced The Pillows
Indeed Pixies were pioneers of grunge 🤟🤟
This song transcends the possibility of ever getting boring
perfect summary
12 years later for me and it’s still not boring.
omg well said - the ultimate stranded on an island song to have!
36 years later and the perfection still gives me goosebumps.
Wow... This song is a masterpiece.
+lucia salazar You are a masterpiece!
you are a masterpiece
Look at those chiens
+lucia salazar must be ace to be young and suddenly find the Pixies exist.
+lucia salazar its a good song, but I feel like where is my mind and hey is better
How can anyone not like the Pixies. Strange.
Toby James Anything with style won't be everyone's cup of tea. I don't think you even *want* everyone to like the Pixies, because they'd be overrated.
Toby James Half there song are good. The other bad half.
Yer a lot of there latter stuff was a bit hit & miss. Come on pilgrim / surfer rosa & doolittle were there best albums, you have a point.
I thnk even those have bad song
+Toby James People just have different preferences and tastes, and you gotta be ok with that.
I LOVE Kim Deal. I want her to sing the background track to my daily life. She was the straw that stirred the madness of Black.
Agree. I like their solo work but the Pixies doesn't work when the two are out of balance.
My son, who is 20, loves The Pixies, The Smiths, Nirvana, etc. he has very awesome taste in music.
Good son 👍
gotta love the pixies for dragging music away from 1980's and towards that claasic 1990's sound (that they basically invented)
+Josh Brown The Gun Club
+Josh Brown They invented nothing. Sonic Youth, Dino Jr, Mission of Burma, etc. were doing song like this before Pixies.
+Aiko Kawanaka
Can't speak for the others, but let's be honest. As awesome as Sonic Youth are, they tried hard, and succeeded, at being the VU of the '80s. Nirvana, on the other hand, tried to be the Pixies of the early '90s, and Smashing Pumpkins tried to be the Pixies of the mid-to-late '90s. Push to shove, Pixies was a much larger influence in the alt-rock scene than sonic youth ever were. That said, that doesn't mean any of the bands I mentioned sucked, they're all pretty stellar in my opinion - and it is just that.
Erectoralporicy honestly I think sonic youth is way more influential. Also the VU of the 80s is the jesus and mary chain
Aiko Kawanaka I have to disagree, but I do respect your opinions and good taste in music :)
I love how the vocals get progressively screamier. Definitely my favorite Pixies song
Mine as well (even though I can hardly think of a Pixies song I don't like)
I had a DREAM about just last night and how Black Francis wasn't afraid to take chances then.
This is in my top 3. Not my fav tho. "Where is my mind" is no 1
One of the best songs in Skate 3. Love it
I know people have said this before but I love how normal-looking they are. No elaborate makeup or crazy fashion sense. It ties into their music really well.
yeah, Nowadays we have model types with stuffed lips that have no clue about music
@@rolandboerhof9391 ok i completely 100% agree with you! but... your reply wasnt very relavent and therefore didn't make much sence.
@@akuaku3496 how does it not relate? they talked about how musicians today are superficial in response to a comment talking about how Pixies weren't superficial. I don't 100% agree with them, but it was def relevant.
Guide how to be a popular band 2020 , tits and autotune
Y'all gonna pretend that superficial pop music "made" by models wasn't a thing in the 80s/90s?
1990: Friend made me a cassette of dolittle. Listened to this song. Rewound it and listened again about twenty times. I was 14. Had no idea anyone anywhere made music like this.
yeah, I knew Pixies but first heard this three years ago randomly through headphones, using my friend/roomie's MP3 player biking home from work & was FUCK.. what?.. did my ears just come? I had thought I couldn't feel that with music again. replayed & replayed
I turned up for the 1st week at univeristy in leicester in late 1989 and the asian indie kid across the corridor in my hall of residence played this to me and my life has been changed ever since.
Same history!
no, here to see real music
You friend should have shown you the movie...
Black wrote this song about the surrealist short film 'Un Chien Ansalou' created by Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel. He sings "I wanna grow up to be a debaser" because the film debased the art community a the time and it made him want to do the same.
+Phoebe Dowling
+Phoebe Dowling You're good at Wikipedia.
VICTORdowns didn't use Wikipedia but I read about it a while ago when looking them up
+Phoebe Dowling What decade was this in Phoebe. One of my fav songs.
Michael Moss This song was released in 1989 and is on there album Doolittle. Just before the grunge scene broke out. They influenced many grunge bands, Kurt Cobain even said that they were one of his favourite bands and their album 'Surfer Rosa' really influenced Nirvana's final album 'In Utero' (My favourite Nirvana album lol)
It often comes to my mind that this may be the best punk rock song ever.
It always gives me goosebumps when Francis replaces second verse with just "ahahaha!". There's so much energy throughout the song which is doubled up by the lyrics that doesn't even make sense. The riff is great too, which sounds like a spaceship travelling through a blackhole. Genius.
Punk? I thought this was GarageBand sounding
@@santanam5830 Really? These are all live recorded parts. It's magic that they managed got it so 'clean' sounding. Love it. : )
Flipper’s “Ha Ha Ha” also has demented, slightly evolving laughter in a noisy grunge song’s chorus. It’s no surprise that Kurt Cobain used to wear a homemade Flipper shirt, and of course proclaimed his debt to Pixies as well. I wonder if this song was Frank Black’s own homage to Flipper.
@@sealife12 Post-punk then, pedantic pete you pitiful prick. 😁
The pixies are not punk
One of the most energetic recordings in pop music history.
WTF
Boring AF
@@iNDeX_TM shut up
You trippin
your mum is pop
@@IvanIvanov-us1fb Ivan Ivanov, your mum was very original
One of the most influential bands ever.
Yes Sir.
one of the most influential albums ever...
the Pixies released music before most listening to it were born and it never got big until later.... could a band even do that today!? probably not because there are too many choices
Interesting fact, Kurt Cobain said when he wrote Smells Like Teen Spirit he was trying to copy the Pixies.
@Lanzy Fabian
Well given where we are with modern music I guess that means the Pixies are responsible for Justin Bieber... Bastards.
@@ketansajwan8071 Why? "If the Pixies were the step that broke the gravel which released the boulder... which started the Grunge avalanche which changed the course of modern music." and modern music has lead to Justin Beiber then ipso facto the Pixies lead to Justin Beiber. I mean I don't like it any more than you do but unless Lanzy is full of shit then the facts would seem to stand.
I like that their voices are so different, his screamy and out of control and hers so serene and calm. All about deeper symbolics. That's why i love the Pixies. Songs are full of double meanings and you are really never done listening to their records, and that is what makes a band in my eyes "time-less"..
Great comment. Perfectly stated. 👍
Gawd yes!! Best post-punk/ alt rock EVER.
I also that the dissonant ‘out-of-tune’ chords...
Kim's smile is a fundamental part of the Pixies
I'm on my earphones and i'm aggressively whispering the hell out of the chorus.
Mood.
Same fam
The best song ever written about a Salvador Dali film.
bunuel.
and these lyrics can't be called anything best, it's just...nothing...
@@ivok9846 Well, compared to any other song written about a Bunuel film, it's the best. Best doesn't mean good, just the most good.
@@almostideal1306 you're essentially saying no other songs about his films exist, and i will accept that.
@@ivok9846 Yeah, that's kinda the joke.
@@almostideal1306 so then, even the salvador dali part might be a joke!?! wow! this blew me away. in a funny way.
Pixies are an excellent alternative music band that influenced many bands that were commercially successful from late 1991 onwards. Kurt Cobain confessed that he was inspired by this cult alternative rock band for some hits from some of his grunge group Nirvana. My great admiration for Pixies and their alternative rock music, and their influence on other artists in the nineties to the present day, leaves me speechless because they are not enough to praise a great band like them. Congratulations on your excellent record work and your concerts! I have the Doolittle album in CD format with great pride! You guys are true pioneers of alternative music!
If you sing the ‘teen spirit’ lyrics to this then it all makes sense 🤘🖤
Doolittle is definitely one of my all time favs
The original alternative band in my mind!
Just listening to these skate3 songs is nostalgia
that's how i got here
Best vg soundtrack ever
I was playing fh2 and heard this come up. I already got water eyed playing forza horizon 2 and then bam. Skate 3. 2 extremely nostalgic games for me.
Real
Why do I still love this after hearing it 10,000 times?. Never gets old.
Pixies, Jane's Addiction, Sonic Youth...bands that helped shape the 90's but many other bands got the credit...
At least they didnt try to lie about it, and told where did they got inspiration...
don't forget Dinosaur Jr.
In terms of lyrics The Pixies shit on all those bands. Nothing sounds like The Pixies because they really did their own thing. They weren't just rip-offs of the Velvet Underground etc etc.
The Conscientious Objector Sonic Youth are far from being a The Velvet Underground ripoff if that's what you're saying m8. I'm the first one to always point out when an artist is ripping off other music but this isn't the case at all.
@@dAvrilthebear and Melvins, My Bloody Valentine...
God I can never get over how good these drums are
My dissection & analysis of Surrealism, including Un Chien Andalou, rewarded me with an A grade in History of Art, which preceded the release of The Pixies Debaser by approximately 2 years.
So when Doolittle’s Debaser hit the airwaves in ‘89 it made perfect sense to me.
A Dali aficionado from the age of 15, I’d studied his art & read all of Dali’s written works by the age of 16 & saved up to buy my first Dali lithograph series, Saint George & His Dragon, which I bought when I was 18.
I pursued surrealism with vigour experimenting extensively with LSD during the so-called British Second Summer of Love, days & nights melding into One.
Unshackled from The Great Cosmic Looking Glass of The Internet we were as free as the Romantic poets & writers, to live every minute of our lives like it was our last, without the compulsion to impress or influence anyone.
Good times.
still sounds ahead of its time, 30 years on
The music video was made in 1997...I bet a million bucks that they could have shelved this song until then and pretended it was a new song and everybody would have believed it. My mind cannot reconcile that this is an 80s song. Everything about it screams late 90s-early 00s.
1990 - I'm a freshman at a Christian college in Pennsylvania. I have a CD player boombox that I just got for Christmas and a pile of new CDs, 12 for a penny from Columbia House. One of the CDs is "Doolittle" which I picked without having any real idea what it sounded like. I put the CD in and press play.
Debaser.
The world becomes a different place.
@MultiDimwit Thanks, man.
This song will always mean a lot to me. Was my anthem during a drunken summer in my early twenties. Good times
Something magical about Kim's angelic harmonies, especially that final "debaser."
I think, when it comes down to it, its the music of the Pixies that makes me feel most free and happy and wild
Most underrated band ever, imo. And I know they are loved and highly respected--still underrated, imo.
Im hearing this for the first time and it's blowing ny mind. Fycking amazing.
Pixies forever!!! I don't know any band that made people want to start bands as much as the pixies. All these songs still slap!
GOD, I was listening to this song with headphones and when the girl said "debaser" I thought someone was whispering at me
She was.
shiit same i freaked for a second xD
That's Kim Deal to you, boys
I hate it when that happens lmao
She essentially was.
There's more invention and originality in this one song than in 99% of rock bands out since.
im here from an old NCAA football game! lol this song is fire!!
Heard this on the John Peel show and it Changed my life and still sounds Ace!❤
These guys were way ahead of their time!
This is timeless. If you told me this was released yesterday I would believe it
Can't we say that for most pixies songs?
Best opening song to an album, best album ever. It pressed I’d have to say Doolittle is their best. Best band ever. Their music is from another world
I can never decide if it's Doolittle or Surfer Rosa. My choice usually depends on which one I listened to most recently.
the PERFECT album opener for a PERFECT album
So perfect, you hear all the instruments for exactly as long as you need to
To my knowledge the single version (this video) was remixed. For example, I don't remember the tambourine being as prominent as it is here compared to the original album version. Not like it's bad, I love all the screeching guitars at the end are turned up to 11!
The song is from the 1989 album "Doolittle", but the video is from 1997, because the song was only released as a single then. That's why it looks like a tribute.
Frank took it all and crammed it into one song. This is 80s indie jammed into one song. Masterpiece
Probably the best song of the 90s, and still rocking the shit out of my mind. Black Francis is a genius, yep.
Well... technically... 1989.
My most played song of 2021 according to Spotify. Timeless music never dies.
@@SmeliiMelon L
Funny, it was my most played song of 2022 also according to Spotify
@@CptnWolfe same
Yet, oddly.. although I loved this song a LOT at the time (and still do) other songs of their's have grown on me more since then... like River Euphrates and Silver.
so,u are youngster,with taste of music.i've had this album on a tape in 1990...and i've buried some of my personal contacts just because they dispite it.shame of them.
this song is literally perfect in every way this is like one of the best songs ever made
I agree
No
I am un CHIEN andalusia!!
I bought Doolittle at a flea market in Santa Cruz, CA in 1996. I had never listened to the Pixies before, but I loved Frank Black from his solo work. I connected with the first few notes like a lock with a key. I experienced pure yes.
This is a song to put in a time capsule to play hundreds of years from now to hear what the late 1980s to early 1990s felt like
un français pour témoigner ? le rock n'est pas mort et il ne le sera jamais. Bientôt 2024 et pourtant se son m'accompagne encore dans ma vie de tout les jours.
Hommes de gouts, laisser une trace de votre passage.
Hardcore jusqu'à la mort et le rock bien plus encore !!!
I discovered this song in the first Birdhouse Skate video, I found it incredible and what can I say about the album, 35 years ago 🥲
Pixies are always. No genre can think about them. They're just fundamental
I remember Debaser being my favorite song in Skate 3. It's very nostalgic hearing it again after all these years...
how can you be in a bad mood when this is playing?
You can't. :)
You can
Car drives by playing this song with the windows down at your grandma's funeral
feels even better while you're on Xanax.
Impossible
I was reading a story on david bowie . He commented on the pixies & debaser . He said santiego the guitarist was underrated in his opinion . Im aware of the pixies . Have to say yeah its a pretty cool song . RIP david ❤❤ ❤ sydney Australia 🦘🦘🦘 2/2/2024😮
I'm here because the algorithm decided to show me "Paul Rudd explains the Pixies in This is 40" LOL
Same. Weird. And I'm a Pixies fan anyway, but it's the first time they've ever popped up in my youtube feed.
I've known Pixies because of Gigantic and Where's My Mind (of course), but not long ago, I got into Modest Mouse's older stuff like The Lonesome Crowded West, and my money is on that! Speaking of which, I now see a lot of similarities between them. They were definitely fans of The Pixies too!
And about this song, don't shoot the messenger but it sounds like a remastered version of Smells Like Teen Spirit for people who don't like grunge :D
P.S. I just googled it and turns out that this song is older than Smells Like Teen Spirit. I don't listen to grunge, so I'm uneducated when it comes to that. Looks like Kurt is the copycat here lol.
Oh, and about the algorithms. I found this comment under a great song called Only For You by Heartless Bastards. This is how it goes: "Remember, the algorithm only learns from you...do not thank the algorithm...you are here because you are you"
Holy shit yup I knew it before tho from skate 3
@@martinrose6357
The fact that Kurt copied the Pixies is no secret. In fact, he himself said that with Smells Like Teen Spirit he was trying to, in his own words “rip off the Pixies” and that he basically used Surfer Rosa as the template for Nevermind.
This song is so flipping demented. In the best possible way.
Still gives chills after all these years, the immortal Pixies.
After so many years still so fresh. it seems they wrote it yesterday. Young teenagers bands playing it like recent hits. Pixies were too far ahead of their time.
Still listening to pixies.
To this day nothing
Beats it
The contrast between caos and harmony
love his crazy voice with her very calm bored voice in the back ground.
I bought this album exactly 30 years ago through one of those mail order deals, like RCA, (10 compact discs for $1.00, or something)- and my life has never been the same. Great, great album.
Man, it’s all started right here. Cobain, Casablancas, Brock, Toledo, Baldi, Barnett, Linkous; the names could go on and on. This fucking song, this damn album. It’s started everything.
Pixies started with their first album in 1986. And I was only 14 years old. But those unbeat beat, harmoni in the unharmoni. And I started to learn my self to play both guitar and bass. Absolutely the most influnce
"Doolittle" was my favorite Pixies album. The band, at this point in time, along with The Mekons and The Jazz Butcher, were making the best noise of the 80s. For me, anyway.
"Surfer Rosa" & "Doolittle." "Fishcoteque" & "Big Planet, Scary Planet" from The Butcher.
And finally "Honky Tonkin' ", "So Good It Hurts", and "The Mekons Rock 'n' Roll" all came out in the years of 1988 - 89 (except "Honky Tonkin' " came out in '87 - sue me.)
I could stretch it out to '90 -91 to include "Bossa Nova", "Condition Blue", "Curse of the Mekons", etc. But I just wanted to focus on the material immediately surrounding "Doolittle."
It was a a treasure trove of music that holds up, undated, against any band, any performer that I can think of. Well, except for some kind of Once In A Lifetime virtuosic genius shit like Jimi Hendrix or "Blood On the Tracks" or "London Calling" & "Sandinista!." Shit like that stands alone and you have to be reasonable & objective.
But this was a great time to be alive & witness & experience these bands as it happened. And now is a great time to be alive because people still have even more and easy access than ever to this music. It's available in more formats to be streamed, downloaded, or mailed straight to your mailbox. We NEVER had any shit like that when it came out. It's freaking awesome. So again - NOW is a fantastic time to be alive because the music hasn't changed - it's still as moving, funny, and powerful as ever and just waiting to be relived or discovered.
So if you're reliving The Pixies but you're not familiar with The Mekons or The Jazz Butcher or Jazz Butcher Conspiracy (the guy's name is Pat Fish & he's recorded under both) I urge you to check em out & discover!
Or turn someone who hasn't heard The Pixies on to them & let them discover!
Music is a wonderful gift. Share it. Especially share it with yourself. :)
Long, long-winded rant is FINALLY over. Sorry about that. Song got my blood up. 😬
2:03 one of the greatest guitar breaks in music history
Fibally at cust age of 30 i wll be ale to see one of my favorte bands ever
This song will never ever, in a million, billion, trillion, gazillion years lose its energy. DÈBÆŠĒRRR!
dude hearing this song in like NCAA 05 was amazing
i'm here cuz my mom and her college days. she's played doolittle around the house since i was born (2005) and i love pixies, i thank them so much for changing my outlook on life. i saw them live about a year ago and they were fantastic. love you pixies!
Same dude. Same
This is the album my mom listened to constantly when she was pregnant with me, and that I heard for the first few months of life. I credit it for being part of my development.
You lucky SOB. I would have killed to hear something as awesome as this in the womb!
Pixies takes me back to high school. Pixies was one of those bands you only listened to if you were in a certain group. Everyone else just kind of listened to the pop chart music and the auto tuned rap. Of course my friends and I being skaters we loved Pixies and sonic youth. All of us smokers at the time hanging out in the smoking section. Glad we all mostly quit now though. Especially as one of my friends is a singer/music producer now. He's just released a cover of "All Along the watchtower" and I swear it sounds to me as if Pixies covered it themselves. It's a strange but cool take on it. Try searching Lonely Gimmick - All Along the Watchtower, I think he's seriously talented and deserves more attention. He does all the music himself recording to his laptop.
Still stands up as genius 30 years later.
Kim Deal is a human precious stone of unquantifiable value.
this is the song that made me love the pixies to no end
There would be no 90s without Pixies
this song is a tombstone, everything is downhill after Doolittle
Definitely one of the best rock songs of all time
Lol hell no
Why the hell is this song so good?
A very creative way of singing about Dali's Chien Andalucia.
i was 14 when dolittle album came out i skated many times to this wow im 49 now
The second verse lyrics /delivery are some of the greatest in rock history
There is this and then there is everything else.
One of my top 65 songs of all time.
Doolittle is easy one of the best albums ever made fact thank you for the great music
One of the most prolific runs of consecutive albums in the history of music.
Thank you to my childhood video games for giving me good taste in rock music 💯✌🏾🌊
I FINALLY FOUND IT, AFTER YEARS OF PLAYING STAKE 3, THIS SONG SLAPS.
Found this as a kid from Ncaa football 2006 soundtrack. This song was one of my favorites and Me Myself and I by De La Soul
Me too!! Love it!!!!
Bro.. Facts
Facts bro I swea my fav
I just searched for this song on google and got the year right (2006) on the first search for the tracklist on NCAA. Only the real ones remember 💯
