[mihedas]

awesome song

over 77.000 views and no dislike!!

[aldobrishnaum]

@mihedas when you get to hear the pixies, you face two alternatives, loving them or realizing you're an asshole and commiting suicide... that's why that fact shouldn't impress you

[Bookmarks241]

what ?! i don't get it? is this like another version of the happening?

[tomkingsbridge]

@Bookmarks241 yes, it's just the end of the happening

[mnhypercam]

so underrated

[Remeday]

that's what i'm talking about 231 likes and no dislikes! Pixies are phenomenal!!

[Foxang]

Great song.

[TriumphT509885]

@xgokkunX Actually were both right, I thought I had heard this song mixed in with another, on single your right but on Bossonova its one song number 10 The happening.

Wierd eh.

[TriumphT509885]

Isn't this song an outro of a song on basonovo.

[XgokkunX]

@TriumphT509885 yeah it's the B side of "The Happening"

[princesskellysue]

@TriumphT509885 

[LolaLovesBass]

fucking awesome tune.

[MrSpork13]

A Pixies song I hadn't heard! Wow, awesome. Like it, a lot, of course.

[FondleMyGose]

i like the bit at 0:33 when it sounds like a constipated elephant :)

[bassdub7]

this brings back memories of my senior year in high school. being in the outcast artist/ theater crowd. i hated dumb jocks : )

[8Zeitgeist]

1:56 is probably the worst part of the song

[8Zeitgeist]

reminds me of bloodhound gang..

anyone else hear that?

[TheBrixMix]

@8Zeitgeist oh shit, yea, i was trying to remember the name of that band, im sure they got the idea of the song from this, if not, then damn

[mnhypercam]

sex

[114184]

i agree!

[mprice024]

tHIS JAM INDUCES incredible repeat listens

[wtfmadi]

this part was the best part of the happening anyway

[TheHappydead]

chords ?

[TheHappydead]

@TheHappydead Eb Cm Ab Cm A#

[elidawify]

Straight and to the point: better than The Happening, IMHO

[jimi2k7]

WTF!!! this song is the chorus part of the song "The Happening" from BossaNova album.

[BryanSomedaysTV]

@jimi2k7 um...yeah dude ':D

[iMalte]

WUUHUUUWHUUUWHUUU

[jjadgemini88]

38,939??? has no one watched this in a year?

[CaptainPommby]

I feel like im floating! ^^

[Randyh9]

36,000 even better :-) spread the sound

[RuthlessVision]

Why don't you guys listen to The Happening? This is just the final part of that amazing song.

[kurtywurty85]

This song makes me want to take my shirt off...but I guess I shouldn't...seeing as I'm in the post office

[iamsunkissed1]

I wish the song was longer. I could listen to this for 10 minutes straight.

[39chevpickup]

@iamsunkissed1 maybe longer

[candyman688]

cool! too good for a 'b' side. gets ***** stars.

[unmanoide]

[kgb665]

[inhumanxiii]

I definitely prefer this over the Bossanova song.

[Tokaitok]

[MuskateerGripWeed]

awesome song when your on acid and about to jump of the roof of the hospital as that little old bald man is trying to talk me down but I just yell no way dude just give me back my Pixies Cassette or I'm gone man........gone I tells ya.....

[raditzzzzzzz]

[39chevpickup]

@MuskateerGripWeed no acid needed just a fantastic song imagination a requirement

[BryanSomedaysTV]

@MuskateerGripWeed that'um, hhh..that..is really ': /... kick-ass! :D

[25tab]

@GNARGOON

Who doesn't?

[illy5000]

Really how do you beat the pixies. I just dont see how. wtf

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

Beating the Pixies defies the laws of physics. It's just not possible.

[mrmexican101]

ehhhra ehhra Gnome sayiiing

[spipper]

@AllRiseForDrEvil In the laws of pataphysics though, it just may be.

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

@spipper

No, that's all in your imagination ;-P

[spipper]

@AllRiseForDrEvil Duhhhhhhh

[BryanSomedaysTV]

@AllRiseForDrEvil I declare this statement to be true.. true!

[8Zeitgeist]

@AllRiseForDrEvil ya, you ever try to bring a bat in to a concert..its impossible

and yes physics a big thing 300lb security gaurd vs 150 lb me lol

j/k

[electronicmedium]

@AllRiseForDrEvil agreed

[kaiserguy]

I bought the B-Side album before Bossanova so I knew this version before "The Happening". I still think I prefer this version, something about that piano sound makes it great. Same goes for "Letter to Memphis", it sounds kinda weird to me with lyrics.

[wouldntyouliketoknow]

The Thing is only kinda better because the words aren't buried. These are some of the best lyrics Black ever wrote.

Letter To Memphis w/words >>>>> w/o words. I always skip over the Letter to Memphis without words because it just...doesn't sound right.

[ClintJCL]

I agree with the first part, but not the second part :)

[Suppeelsker]

Wow, I can't stop singing along! I want to play this with my friends, so I hope one of them can play the piano =)

[mudoctave223]

aww this song is amazing i remember hearing the happening and thinking this part should've been its own song

[smashbeans]

cheers

[RichieMDer]

So happy to have found this track. It's the end of that happening which I love. Nice one Pixies. Genius

[opiummother]

awesome! it's the end of the happening;)

[treehugger6661]

10 000! Woo!

[zorro77777]

@treehugger6661 and we still want to listen to it again :)

[electronicmedium]

@treehugger6661 such a great song.... you can really feel the emotions in this song. Plus it turned out even better with The happening.

[moondog006]

does anyone know how to play this on piano

[Voguer92]

such a good song

cant believe i overlooked it

[kissmeimaidiot]

Who else thinks that this song is about aliens visiting the earth?

[kellyrosello]

charles often wrote about space and aliens...

[weezer40oz]

WHO WAS BILL?????

[weezer40oz]

best song ever.

[disneylandisgay]

just like interpol singer voice

[treehugger6661]

Can't believe this has almost 6000 views. Awesome :3

[xiaofengfuckingli]

maybe 1000 views are to blame on me ^^

[sparkynico]

changed my mind AWSOME SONG

[eatme765wes]

such an amazing band. Beautiful song

[sidittygal]

Uuuhhhmmmm Wave of Mutilation is a compilation album.  For the album with the song Wave of Mutilation was on, I would suggest Doolittle.

[mnyy]

what is this song about? i love it and i would like to know what this text is about :)

[stellastarr420]

think it's about an alien stopping by earth. lol. out there, but i love the goddamn pixies. more than anything... : (

[stellastarr420]

wait, i was thinking about mototway to roswell. think this one's somehow about aliens too.. dunno, late for work.

[euuhi]

it's about a ride to vegas.

It's a remix of the final part of the song "the happening" from bossonova.

buy the complete b-sides,there's an explanation about every song.

Probaly my favourite song from the complete b-sides,too bad it's so short.

[Suppeelsker]

@euuhi Not a remix, it's an early demo, or so I've heard.

[PellepluttenJ]

This is the outro from the song THE HAPPENING by pixies. Thats why its so short. the sound is a bit messed up 2 i think

[Saurosama]

1.58 segundos de pura maravilla, todo un goce para los oídos. Que buena rola!!!

[1fgeofrey]

delightfully shivery, numerous exceptional atmouspherics, shivery just shivery.

[treehugger6661]

Ironically I get a chill every time it comes to the chills line.

[KingCodimus]

I know what you mean.

[andyplatt]

@treehugger6661  That's not irony; it's a coincidence.

[KingCodimus]

I LOVE HOW THIS SONG TIES INTO THE HAPPENING. yes, caps are necessary. I <3 you, Pixies. DEATH TO THE PIXIES

[MsFunnyVideos]

omg i love this song

[generaldom]

What a weird song. I still love it. Why's it so short??!

[Crackerdamus101]

I LA LA LOVE THIS!

[gustokiluh]

they used a fuckin theremin for this thats tight.

[mehigh2marsiansky]

yes, its my favorite pixies tune at the present but how about a lawless video on this. THIS SONG IS FROM SPACE!

[Wermodaz]

from what I understand, The Happening sort of evolved from this

[JosephK1980]

Almost has a fifties feel to it (the nineteen fifties, that is...)...

[whodunit2004]

yea i could listen to this all day. even w/o words. amazing.

[CJzeejay1]

arguably best pixies song. i wish it was longer too, this progression is also in "the happening"

[weirddaytoday]

Thanks for uploading this.

[JosephK1980]

God I fuckin' love this song...only wish it was longer, far, far, longer...
