[Xxtiacc88xX]

Thanks for sharing, been ages since I last saw that clip, Frank Black looks so young too! I was watching some footage of when The Pixies regrouped for a tour and couldn't believe how different he looked! He will always be a legend IMO:)

[Morthund]

seriosly dude I play this game with my dog where i call him Cap'n Spankleton and then I pat his bum and wonder where the inspiration comes for me to spew these gems of wisdom what I share with all of you for free oh for fucksake zzzzzz -_-

[controlFunctionmedia]

Why is he riding a hovercraft? Because he's Frank Black. That's why.

Lovely acoustic and a super awesome song. 

[Plaayboarding]

i love his el camino

[MrZigzagSlope]

I like this song alot.

[MrJeffHardy63]

Who are the band at 0:30 to 0:52 ?

[LostInMyOwnHead666]

@MrJeffHardy63 dude its the same fucking band

[awasdis]

frank black's voice sounds so different from his earlier pixie's work...

[SharkedFrets]

good old days with my ps2 and Tony Hawks Ameican Wasteland....*__*

[DickLodge68]

Black Francis is awesome and this first solo effort was epic and inspiring!

[damres]

NO WAYYYY

[MrBizzmarky76]

I ate my own asshole out to this song.

[TheIronMcC123456]

@MrBizzmarky76 lol

[flipside799]

It kinda sounds like Forest Gump in the begining.

[goosesvids]

@flipside799 The Fuck?



[zehrinteressant]

@flipside799 that's because tom hanks did the intro. he's a close friend of black francis.

[rorrok]

I ate some girls asshole out to this song.

[TheSightOfSpira]

Hey Beavis, youre pretty cool sometimes

[jerold6314]

Lucky bastard gets to drive a vortex.

@Plaayboarding Ha! yeah that's a good suggestion.

[Plaayboarding]

@SKITB11 vortex mod on doom perhaps? idk i'm not a gamer hahaha but it' would be kinda cool to drive by these monsters XD

[SKITB11]

@Plaayboarding It would indeed :D

[halflifeepisode34980]

frank black is amongst the best things that ever happened to music, hands down

[Tomasthesk8dude]

I didn't even realise until now that this was the same guy from the Pixies. (Like, I knew Frank Black was, but the composer of this particular song)

He is seriously one of the best dudes in music, so much diversity, range and creativity in his songs

[flipside799]

@Tomasthesk8dude I Agree.

[psniddy]

what's up with all the thumbs up b.s.? thumbs up if you heard this song because you were a FRANK BLACK fan! lol.

[DoubleVisionandco]

First I heard this was on Beavis & Butt-head. I don`t care much for the first 2:00. But from 2:01 to the end I love it, it`s brilliant,, It`s like grunge mixed with classical.

[CZdrummmerCZ]

I love part 2:01 - 4:16

[Bonecracker101]

Thumbs up if yo-....how about you just shut the fuck up?

[fiendishfairies]

thumbs up if you didn't come here because of stupid Tony Hawk!!!

[mazadiablo]

Man, I want that hovercraft.

[elconijo]

kinda stupid lyrics. but its an awesome song.

[amimy96]

I love to see I'm not the only one who plays THAW... By the way, the song is really cool.

[NekoStrawberryIce]

I loved this song since I played Tony Hawks American Wasteland XD I had to play that song over and over lol

[goodnessgrraceous]

\X/

[mslakai4ever]

thumbs up if THAW (Tony Hawks American Whasteland) brought you here!

[petepi1981]

thumbs up if up you came here due to beavis and butthead

[amonamarthfan421]

who are they?

i know its not frank black duh but theyre lip sinking right?

[DG161993]

I 1st heard this on Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

[mh13382]

I remember this song in Beavis and Butt-Head.

[DirtyDerr1ck]

eric koston

[palpatine17]

This song makes me want to crush light bulbs with a hovercraft.

[cadillac9500]

can someone tell me which LA hes talking about? Wheres Patagonia?

[RaccoonSnunkWolf1011]

@cadillac9500 There's a Los Angeles in the South American country of Chile. Patagonia is a geographical region between Argentina and Chile.

[downeybill]

Frank black sure has a knack for combining epic awesome music with terrible videos -headache for example

[k5lta]

Classic Traveling Song right here!!

[brebombdude]

Okay so i just saw him live last night and i heard him play this song and i was thinking of american wasteland.. haha.

[kellphil]

He spelled it Kurk, LoL!!!!!

[theahtjuw]

American Wasteland

[isSHEEPMANimmortal]

@theahtjuw fuck american wasteland... it was on Girl's 'Yeah Right' first.

[borowczyk76]

Makes me want to be 16 again...

[misterdeadly1]

2:01 to 4:04 is what this song is about. Yeah, Frank can do angry and disaffected and loud, but he soars when he indulges the gorgeous, dreamy, Beatles-influenced side of his musical personality.

[MrMentllet]

@misterdeadly1 i agree, dear sir!

[theplaidmonkey]

i'm high as fuck

[Fbiman93]

Anyone else remember seeing this video on "Beavis and Butthead"?

[Betorockmetal]

American wasteland XDDD I know this song thanks to that game

[philquinton]

Thumbs up if you think the spoof rockers on the mock cut-away scene during the guitar distortion actually look better than this fat balding chimpmunked faced downy

[MetalDude87100]

@philquinton See how no one thumbed up? Its cause you fucked with Frank Black fans...... Congrats on your failure! :D

[philquinton]

@MetalDude87100 Like a Lamb to the Slaughter :P

[philquinton]

perhaps on the comment i wrote to have a quick troll i think surely it is better to Provoke a reaction, Rather than reacting to a provocation...me thinks as this song by this "angry baby" only suits this kinda video as its just a shitty intro on crappy chords  and 2 bar chords a song a child could play in 3 seconds this is just trendy to like cause kurk combain is dead ..Mr stereotypical newfag nick

[MetalDude87100]

@philquinton Someone can use big words! :D

[swamprat79]

Quit pointing that stick at me....

[661EASTON89]

Eric Koston

[BSODProductionz]

I seriously love this song.

[remzsk8r93]

froston

[SwantonTHIS]

American Wasteland brought me here. Don't thumbs up

[TheRobertMillerShow]

@SwantonTHIS its gonna end up anyway, trust me

[RyanTorgeson]

tony hawk american wasteland

[goedeck1]

"sailing and shoring"? I thought it was" selling insurance."

[MJYLep]

This is a super classic!

[Ruffaze]

Counting helicopters on a saturday night

The symphony of the fair light

[nirosive]

Pacoima!

[MafiaOfSkaters]

i like 2:02

[MafiaOfSkaters]

WOOHOO

[SeeYouNextFall]

Christ the 90's rocked!

[OurChaosInMotion]

Black Francis is GOD. This song is a masterpiece.The Pixies rock the hardest FOREVER. I was fortunate enough to see them live before they broke up and it was an unforgettable intimate show. Even Kurt Cobain was a fan and cited the way the The Pixies handled their "fame", never sold out to the record industry and always kept their coolness and integrity as the way he wanted Nirvana to do it, before Nirvana became as famous as they would. Kurt never wanted the superstardom bullshit. R.I.P Kurt

[dmcguire70]

i like Frank Black , but i don't wanna live in Los Angeles!

[85walterrulez]

@dmcguire70 .....no...this is like ...not the one in South California. Apparently there's another one....

[donk900]

No this video needs more cowbell

[debiegbruce]

hm. what this video needs is more hovercraft.

[zachrfields]

@muffinseatme I would have to go with roxy music's the bob (medley)

[3MFDYER6]

koston rulez!!

[NeptunesTrident]

VH1 Classics!... Fuck, man i'm getting old.

[BigGordonLips]

Who's that fat guy?

[MuffinsEatMe]

Song to the best skate part ever..

[bongzynskywycz]

Man this song is beautiful. 1:51 just takes off....

[mitchlel]

quit pointing that stick at me!

[jbakerm]

Just extremely brilliant.....hope for great music in the early 1990s.

[Peletronikas]

Giedre kurwa

[costa562]

Thumbs up if you heared this song for the first time on Tony Hawk American Wasterland

[holycrapwtf]

[Josiahsbay]

Frank Black is simply a legend.

[spyderhex]

[meadish]

My hovercraft is full of Frank Black.

[seventiesmovies]

@meadish What a reference! You sir, are magnificent! 

[SirHatchporch]

@meadish I am no longer infected!

[TheHouseoftherisings]

[VIOLATER9000]

I always thought he was singing, "I don't want to live fingerless."

[ciankeaneable]

I WANNA LIVE IN LOS ANGELAS!!!! SERIOUSLY I DO!!!

[TELAFREAK10121122334]

Nice car Franky!

[afegerglimmung]

I still have the episode of MTV's 120 Minutes where TMBG premiered this video.

[bigbarcelona23]

[Thijs618]

This song makes me want to skate

[localized0819]

As much as I love the Pixies, this is a rare reason to be thankful for their split or else he probably wouldn't have wrote this xD

South Patagonia? There's one Los Ángeles in Chile and one in Argentina, and neither of them are located in South Patagonia. The Chilean one is barely in the north.

Lame.

[451harri]

God, how I love that fat bastard.

[gonzaloNMF]

This song just sounds like the whole band. That´s proves that Mr Black is the core of the Pixies

[longygirl]

2nd half, great rythm !

[poughkeepsiejohn1]

John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants directed this? I didn't know that.

[gemimasaliva]

If you love Frank Black you will surely love this - "Cardiacs - As Cold As Can Be In An English Sea rehearsal."
