This is the song that sunk its teeth in me, and made the pixies a part of my life. It's too good.

[@garyrouyea3121]

I remember when I heard it just out of the blue for the first time...and...here we are...great song...

[@Chris153758]

Saw them 3X in 3 different decades. They were amazing each time. Great band, and they are on fire in this performance.

[@dlelectric1]

Such a harmonious song of howling and screaming. I can never understand the words to their songs. But who listens to lyrics! I listen to the melodies and the flow.

[@EvieFive]

The song's about the middle east and the oil industry there.

[@apparaoapparao]

Love Santiago's guitar playing and sound

[@julosx]

Richard B … and this badass string BEND in the end 0o

[@keithmcclanahan8117]

Richard B Absolutely uniquely his own style. Cruelly underrated as well

[@DuDeGoRe]

Without Joey Santiago, there's no Nigel Pulsford.

[@TheAikenHead]

I've now got this mental image of Black Francis actually riding a tiger down the River Euphrates.

[@ExquisiteIdea]

He's actually going down the river... riding a tire...

[@Darrenski]

Even though it should be 'tyre' ​@@ExquisiteIdea

[@ExquisiteIdea]

@@Darrenski why?

[@andrewkunanans]

I was born a month before this gig !!! and I love them !!!!

[@rm9511a]

Who's the fuckers who thumbed this down!!!!? LIFE IS MINE!!!!!

[@scottcooneymusic6736]

you can see black gets pissed at one point and just slams his strings lol

[@YULIMULI1]

one word, wow !

[@romanceenthusiasm7972]

I was born a month after this song. I'm sure the guitarist were quite pissed by the camera operators invasion of their musical instruments, it's almost as if they were trying to provoke them to miss a string lolz

[@DuDeGoRe]

Without The Pixies, there's no Nirvana, Bush, Smashing Pumpkins. There's no Generation X culture.

[@greggfitzgerald7997]

The pixies and dinosaur Jr.

[@aztazou]

[@felipeleite4652]

I’m tied in this song

[@sethvicious]

if this replaced silver on Doolittle it would be the consensus best album of all time.

[@WESSERPARAQUAT]

perhaps it was the first time she had heard those new guitar sections added? they are not part of the original arrangement , whenever i listen to the album version i'm always expecting them to be there but then the disappointment when, their absent! great riffs

[@Junebu99ie]

I really just like Kim Deal..
