They were asked to do something that would attract the crowd, and they came up with this masterpiece. It's not enough that they geniuses themselves and make plain awesome music, but they're also talented enough to make this one, just for the heck of it. Best band in the fucking world.
@lkkjsd Frank wrote this song when he was like 15, and they recorded it later because it didn't fit on any of their other albums. From the interview I saw they never even learned how to play it live.
The video is perfect for the song: The Pixies penned this melody because their record company wanted a radio-friendly single. It's a fun, poppy song but it's hardly a Pixies song. It stands out like a sore thumb on Doolittle. In the video they are aping their respective parts in a cheesy, phony "Rock 'n' Roll" stage. Look at the fake smiles and mugging glances to the camera. They are pretending to be another band. The video's genius.
The song reminds me of my youth and the VH1 Classic logo in the bottom right hand corner reminds me that I am a dried up old bastard.

The overly serious look on Joey face during his little solo starting at 0:59 is hilarious. You can see that he's holding back a smile.

Its funny this is such a light hearted sounding song. But FB said its about a group of hobos dieng in a earth quake.

Read about the bombing of Nagasaki and this song will make a lot more sense.
