the pixies, the holiday song

[DRAMA426]

isnt the "war is freedom" quote from the novel 1984?

[rooinek30]

24 dislikes = 24 dickheads- probably dumbass yank rednecks !!!

[randusbobandus]

Then rolled her up in grass and trees, and they kissed 'till they were dead

[johnnypocketable]

great song

video is neither here nor there

[frozenguitar09]

I NEED A HOLIDAY FROM ALL YOU DUMB ASS MOTHERMOTHERFUCKERS !!

[dipsilalaundco]

Hi. i love this song. but i don't really understand the meaning of the lyrics. i get the feeling of the song which tells a lot. but can someone explain or suggest pls (i'm not english native):

He took his sister from his head

And then painted her on the sheets

And then rolled her up in grass and trees

And they kissed 'till they were dead

This ain't no holiday

But it always turns out this way

Here I am with my hand.

I can understand the words, but the meaning of the whole song pls!

[budmonkey]

@dipsilalaundco the song is essentially about masterbation but for my video the line "this aint no holiday and it always turns out this way" struck a chord with me as it seems to sum up the poor soldiers who are sent to foreign lands to struggle in the sand and mud at the whim of their political masters, sometimes for the most nefarious of reasons

[Andyattube]

@dipsilalaundco He took his sister from his head

And then painted her on the sheets

And then rolled her up in grass and trees

And they kissed 'till they were dead

meaning he fantasized about his sister, he visualized her on the sheets as if they were in a valley somewhere kissing until his guilt killed this fantasy. "This aint no holiday, but it always turns out this way" I suppose he means that his lust for his sister isn't something to be happy about, but he can't help it and here he is.

[Andyattube]

@Andyattube at least thats what i make out of this song, most pixies songs are weird like this



[pixienezka]

excelente cancion

[LukeGriffths121]

Such a good song.

[CroMag523]

dude this vid is awsome gorge bush was the worsed presdnt ever he was so dum lol and war is so stupid and repubicans r so dumb and all they wnt is money but ive nevr really herd of the pixies who r they HOLY FUCK ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT THAT DUMB FUCKING 1984 THING WAS CLEVER NEEDS TO GO READ A BOOK JUST CAUSE YOU READ THAT BOOK IN FUCKING NINTH GRADE ENGLISH DOESN'T MAKE YOU A FUCKING PHILOSOPHER. YOU PROBABLY HAVE NO IDEA HOW POLITICS WORK AND SHOULD GET OFF YOUTUBE BEFORE YOU GET MURDERED.

[paddleship]

@CroMag523 1984 was, is, and will always be relevant, at least until human beings have evolved beyond the point where machismo, money, and warfare are no longer the unspoken underlying ideals of any of our societies. For an amateur youtube music video, this was really well done, concept wise. Maybe you need to understand that, maybe unlike yourself, some people aim to be truthful and insightful over being "clever".

[CroMag523]

@paddleship I understand the significance of 1984 and everything that Orwell has ever written. Almost all of his writing is still perfectly relevant today, but taking excerpts from a book about a dystopian hell hole and juxtaposing them with images of the former president and a song about incest isn't insightful or profound in any way. If anything, the hate that george bush received, this being an example, is more similar to anything that Orwell wrote, as opposed to bush's actual policies.

[TruthSmack]

@CroMag523 stick a dick up your ass!

[budmonkey]

@hamchammy sorry but i cant take anything you say seriously as you are a STING fan(ny) and therefor you have no credibility whatsoever add to that you are a self confessed liar which negates anything you say like most little creationist sarah palin loving muppets

[hamchammy]

@budmonkey ?? I didn't write that. I think I may have left my account logged in somewhere.

Sorry.

[Memorex62]

Great video reinterpretation of a superb song.

[budmonkey]

@ yomanyouahippie like i already said i know the original meaning of the song i just felt the words "this aint no holiday but it always turns out this way sums up the mire that is Iraq especially if you are a soldier posted there.Try some imagination mr literal

[yomanyouahippie]

@budmonkey oh sorry, i was talking to the dick below me a few, not you, good job with the video

[yomanyouahippie]

the video has absolutely no relation to the meaning of the song "period". the song is actually about incest, so your deep irony doesnt really cover the deep irony of incest it self

[Awesomus54]

good vid man

[budmonkey]

@liquid233 Oh no it's the punctuation police! Seriously though get a life

[batarda]

Twisted vid as I like them, well done...

[purpleandwhite1]

PIXIES - do not perform in Israel this May. Performing in Israel as though everything is normal in this Western-style democracy sets a standard that Israels illegal occupation and apartheid practices against Palestinians are ok. In reality Israel should face legal sanctions for its violation of international laws against collective punishment, preventing refugees from returning to their homes, and colonizing occupied territory.

[ridskog]

It is a great song, don't matter what you do, it's still great.

"Rolled her her up in grass and trees"

[gabriel72r]

great song , nice video !

[budmonkey]

thank you

[logiconmywrist]

BEAST

[ClockworkAnimal1]

great song but video rather without comment

[esldave]

strange video. really. really. random.

I always thought it was about masturbation ... "this ain't no holiday ~ it always turns out this way ... Here I am with my hand ... " ???

Not sure what it has to do with lame political tie-ins ... ? Not sure why I'm wasting my time here ... WooOps!

[budmonkey]

next time your watching some pish tv drama and theres a funeral and they play coldplay on the soundtrack you can shout at the tv its not about death its about yellow

[thepumpdontwork]

I like that alot. Well done Bud. This video is as deep as the viewer needs it to be. Slick and cleverly done. Having good music always helps and pixies music is a great video lubricant when applied properly of course :)

[budmonkey]

cheers for the comment

[thedayitriedtodie]

1:54 is epic...

well done :)

[Awesomo4003]

I don't see how its clever? is there something that I am missing apparently there is some kind of irony. I thought this was another one of those songs about incest, like Nimrods son

[lKeriml]

I love understanding 1984 references.

[stingsdeathdrop]

The irony in this video with the lyrics are awesome.

[budmonkey]

ty someone who gets the irony at last,you must be British

[lKeriml]

I think you overestimate how deep your video is. The irony is obvious to anyone harboring a brain.

[budmonkey]

this video is as deep as a puddle,unfortunately some people drown in puddles

[lKeriml]

Ha, well put.

[clayjkitty]

The Pixies should never be included in a pro-war video- maybe masturbation though.

[budmonkey]

pro war lol good 1

[budmonkey]

thats good because i dont want a debate with a 15 year old child, oh and by the way Jesus was crucified for his

"strong bigoted opinions about others."e.g the money lenders in the temple

[Gide0n]

I liked the video. My friend will be home from Iraq in two weeks.

[budmonkey]

ty for your comment and God bless your friend and heres hoping he gets back safe and well

[stilishindiekid]

where did you take your profile image?

is it from a film?

[budmonkey]

i think i found it on google somewhere

[budmonkey]

sorry you did'nt like my video please accept my apologies if you havent already commited suicide which i understand is hugely popular in your country,apparently its the negative attitude toward everything that causes it

[kurdtbryan]

dude its fucked up to use pics of dying kids as a way to prove a point. especially if its aimed at trying to insult someone when ur not trying to help the kid at all ur just being mean

[budmonkey]

no dude i'll tell you whats fucked up its the fact that kids and soldiers are dying in their thousands for the gratification and personal gain of a few fat greedy men.I'm sorry if the images on my video upset you so just dont watch its that simple,go make balloon animals or finger painting or some shit like that and pretend nothing bad ever happens

[kungiiii]

Retarded video, good song.

[Liveoncefool09]

Fuck this your video sucks if it wasnt for us 00.25 would still be happening you dumb fuck open your eyes and see the truth shit bag

[budmonkey]

it is better to stay silent and be thought of as an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt,you'd do well to remember that you dungaree wearing sister marrying snot nosed hick

[Awesomo4003]

Seriously having such strong bigoted opinions about others makes me not want to listen to anything you have to say.

[Thill029]

the riff sounds similar to the song "Don't Fear the Reeper" by Blue Oyster Cult.

[hojobo4242]

No it does not!!  You are an idiot!

[Thill029]

I'm an idiot? Why, because I can hear a similarity between two riffs? Shut the hell up.

[mm63443]

Well you must have something wrong with your ears. "Reeper"-riff is more simple and slower. Actually, IT IS pretty boring. This rocks with its own terms.

[Thill029]

ok whatever, nothing is wrong with my ears, i just thought this sounded similar to reaper because that's the first thing i was reminded of when I first listened to this song.

[crankthetoto]

shut the hell up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lumpofloight]

hahaha. . . . thes eint know halidey nah-naaaaow!!!!

[neviatha]

i think i hear where you're coming from! it's not note to note.... it's probably because the notes ascend and descend in similar incraments....

[lumpofloight]

1:22 na-naaow

[tromeokid]

it's not a political song but it sure fits perfectly.

i understand where the creator of this video is coming from.

no doubt about it.

[dave13894892]

i like the "vintage" video parts but not the pics

[MarcFuentos]

This is the best Pixies song. Rockin

[tilbis1]

Awesome song, Great video clip! *****

[ChupaHunter]

[alienada8]

i fuck all americans cause they think that their are alone in the world but the world has come in usa soon and not for tourism...

[this80schild]

hey what about people that live in america we are not all evil. your talking about our goverment not us. i didn't vote to go to war personally. i mean if it were up to me america would worry about its own crumbling value system and corruption not everyone els's problem. but ill tell you this if a group of people or a country attacks my people ill be the first to destroy them.watch your mouth your country could be next

[waves14]

Don't pigeon hole all Americans you idiot. I will take a wild stab in the dark that you are of some religious faith??? There is a book I am reading at present, if you can read i sugest you read it, 'The God Delusion' by Richard Dawkins. Now get on with your life and prepare yourself for there being fuck all after it except dirt!

[kalaijangi]

instead of being afraid of the dark, trying to light a candle. (LAO TSEU)

me i have try with darkness in usa but im desesperate about intelligence of americans people.

me i speak french, english, deutch, italian spanish, aramians like jesus ,jewish and arabian .....and you ????????????

english no and this is a little bit hard for u and u u tell me im silly.....

from u its a compliment

[waves14]

What the fuck was that. You speak all these languages (sorry, who is Jesus???) yet you can't put a sentence together that makes sense. I speak French and English. Write something that makes sense and we will talk.x

[kalaijangi]

tu parles français alors rigolons un peu

de quel droit je n'aurais pas le droit de detester les americains(except pixies) alors que vous avez insulté tout ou presque tout les pays du monde et en plus 2 cela vous inventé des preuves pour faire la guerre dans des pays qui ont besoin d'aide mais pas de guerre et en plus vous avez insultés l'europe et les français en le criant sur toute les télévisions du monde et je ne parle pas encore des vrais sujet qui fache

alors oui les amerloc,bof bof

[frozenguitar09]

@waves14 GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR LITTLE BOOK - keep it to yourself in future ok- - your not the only one who reads ok-

[waves14]

@frozenguitar09 what?? Why should I keep it to myself onm a DISCUSSION board??? Dick.

[drummerzunite]

thats a very narrow minded thing to say

[YNWA67]

Well sit right down my evil son

And let me tell you a story

About the boy who fell from glory

And how he was a wicked son

If there's people out there (especially Americans) who can't see how these words in this song could be used to emphasise the problems associated with their country, president and 9/11 aftermath, then you are all indeed not just extremely stupid...you are basically screwed)

[YNWA67]

I mean you were given pictures and everything-to make analysis of the words ( in this instance) more easy to interpret and to link to the situation...and what's being said...ehhh uhhhh duuuuh ..it's about incest..well done geniuses..but guess what? the worlds not as simple as the inside of both your and Bush's mind...look a little deeper into things and see how songs can be pushed further to interpret wider situations.don't be a sheep be a shepherd

[YNWA67]

this song is a marvelous way to interpret the problems being faced by the world due to the Bush leadership and the situation in Iraq.....but like my pet goat...it's just really hard for some people to see the message behind it all.

[spartanis]

its a song about incest

don't mix good shit with politics fucker

[emokidsblowdick]

besides this song was written before 9/11

[kalaijangi]

yes and where is the problem

you would not even capable of seeing jesus if he was in front of you and allow you to give lessons in the world and make all Muslims throughout the world while your enemies that the fault that a man

MISTER BUSH AND BENLADEN

ME MY ENEMIES ARE ALSO THE AMERICAN cause BUSH HAS INSULTEd FRANCE

[RelaxingSin]

Muslims also beleive in the teachings of Jesus christ

you know that right

[Carnage581]

I'm sorry but how is this relevant? to anything....ever?

[budmonkey]

thats exactly what Einstein said then he went and made it into a theory.And what have you made,apart from whining noises,i wonder?

[rachelsotheraccount]

@budmonkey His theory was of relativity, not relevantivity- that's not a word. Perhaps you could take the time to get off your high horse and explain to us mere mortals what that theory actually comprises of whilst still comprehending it yourself; copying and pasting doesn't count, by the way. Well, go on then-

[budmonkey]

@rachelsotheraccount yes thats right i'm going to explain relativity on a you tube video comments box to a pedant.Here's a thought,go away

[GREENGUMZATTACKZ]

budmonkey is stupid

[YNWA67]

and don't even get me started on you pal...you are what gives the Irish a bad name.

[markess1981]

Yeah the Pixies kick ass but I don't think their music is right for this. This songs about incest (or well the thought of it). The Pixies are a great band regardless of your political view.

[budmonkey]

the songs about incest.Dosent your president act like an inbred.This is the man that didnt know Iraq had any religious or tribal divisions.This is the man who sat like a tailors dummy while being told planes were falling like bombs on americas iconic buildings.But its good we can debate like this on the "Internets" as Bush would say.TY for your comment anyway

[markess1981]

Wow wow wow their. I wasn't saying I disagree with the message but merely that I didn't think the song was right for it. Plus I'm from Scotland so he's not my president.

[budmonkey]

sorry mate,I think i'm dumb or maybe just happy....think i'm just happy

[doom876]

I like the vid and it's a great song. The pixies sing alot about incest...hehe, Iraq is one of out degenerate kids, like Israel. Peace.

[RelaxingSin]

Don't forget the awefull "WmD's"

[BlackstarSirius]

Good concept, poorly executed.

[doom876]

What a critic...it's a good vid ass hole.

[WillFisk1]

Still a great band, i am not sure that the pixies are the right medium to convey this message with though.

[budmonkey]

"This aint no holiday,and it always turns out this way".This line of the song struck a chord and made me think how this sums up U S U K foreign policy.Thank you for your reasonable opinions,all the best for 2008

[drzdo]

Song used to be cool until it met this video.

[budmonkey]

I made this video for liberal right minded people to enjoy and to piss of all the flag hugging rednecks out there.Yippee!!! it worked.

[drzdo]

Yeah, all us rednecks watching all the Pixies videos.

[AmberellaS]

Don't listen to that douche.. it's great. I favorited it!

[haveguitarwilltravel]

I agree.

[amodestmousefan]

why would u put some stupid ass shit like that to such a great band like the pixies

[budmonkey]

i did it to really annoy you....mission complete

[mambomarky]

always a great band

[vandalissimus]

Once great band
