The Pixies : Caribou (1988)

[barbarian95man]

i love joey's guitar distortion.

[blazemart55]

one of the best bands ever

[deftones311100]

kurt cobain was brilliant and so was black frank

[petasz]

Caribou is the 2nd best surf rock song in the world. The 1st one is called Ana. ;)

[logan1776]

39 people are not caribous

[MrBanjo]

Is Frank using a Kramer Pacer on this one? One of their most overlooked songs (and for a band that was notoriously overlooked in their day, that's saying something) and a song that brings the word "beautiful" to mind whenever I hear it.

[leemagoo1]

Pixies in brilliant form, just so happy that this was caught on video as so many great gigs never are!

[beckurthurston0728]

this song is simple and deep



[zipperslo]

so kool

[Mirandaces]

Dedicado a mi maestra de metodología de la investigación

[Morthund]

often my favorite song to play in my head when I'm hung over

like tomorrow morning

[bauhaus2121]

i love this song it is great love, william "the joker"

[FernandoPixies]

0:09 tarzan scream

[trbossdoggy]

1:20 ?!? wtf ?!?

[fatboy2007]

kim Deal at 0:51 just melts me..

[clarawasadiver]

@fatboy2007 Her Cheshire cat smile is the greatest thing to happen to the world.

[Pabodiedrillingband]

@clarawasadiver seconded. Kim Deal is the pinnacle for raw sexuality.

[sora41333]

joy division + Pixies + The Smiths

oh boy.

[schizoidchimp]

that's a big head

[arcticronnie]

this band is so breathtakingly  good i just hope more people realize it

[iohtskrause1]

Kim deal!! Oh My GOD how mysterious!!

[MEYERS3000]

@resonancecascade89 Sonic Youth's bassist is hotter.

[aledobretociastko]

@MEYERS3000 She isn't.

[RonaldinhoReborn]

@resonancecascade89 In that case, Smashing Pumpkins. Have fun.

[FleaMarket92]

"Frank, Kurt Cobain said that 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' was a rip-off of a Pixies song. How does that make you feel?" I've been asked that question so many friggin' times that I don't even know what to say anymore. Why is this so important? -Frank Black

[MrDarkmush]

Cariboooouuuuuuu

[KHearse87]

"I was just trying to rip off the Pixies"

-Kurt Cobain

[benjaminrichardshoop]

@KHearse87 no way man "more than a feeling" hahahaha

[jonnyrocketballs69]

The REPENT part is more hardcore and real than every death metal band put together. The energy is awesome in the true sense of the word.

[itarethetroll]

@jonnyrocketballs69 Except the "Repent" part is more similar to Black Metal vocals than Death metal vocals. And this song has always reminded me of Black Metal. The chord progression sounds very cold, like you're in a snowy forest, which is exactly the kind of atmosphere many famous Black Metal albums create.

[shamwoww]

Pixies come to mind first if I try and think of what my fave band would be, but then I feel bad about not mentioning Velvet Underground,The Stooges,Sublime. Radiohead's pretty high up there, David Bowie. And for some reason I've been REALLY digging Primus lately. I don't know it's just too hard to pick a favourite. And still it doesnt do justice to shit like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and The doors which i love just as much

[minervx]

REPENT!!!

[moonpeep]

I think pixies are magic elf, and my favorite animal is the gerbil, but I still love this song.

[stickyjam1]

Sometimes I wish I was a caribou... It'll never happen.

[Stamango]

I am glad I found the Pixies, I missed them when I was younger somehow. They craft a unique style of music that is very deep, emotional, and even terrifying at times. Hope the Pixies come to my town, I will certainly buy those tickets.

[brzozowski5]

This magical time when grunge was being made the late 80s and early 90s was the best age for music this is my favorite type of rock i love old school like neil young and i love new stuff this is the middle ground and this is the kind of music i would write if i was in a big rockband

[nandorude82]

Hüsker Dü is my favorite band...but I have a great respect and admire everything done by Frank Black and his fellas...

[shamwoww]

@nandorude82 i've often seen people talking about Surfer Rosa as one of their favourite albums, and then going on to mention Zen Arcade as well, and vice-versa. Husker Du's cool, i'm trying to get into 'em, only heard a bit. what are some good songs?

[nandorude82]

@shamwoww oh I commend you songs like "Gravity","Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely","Amusement"....Zen Arcade is a good album to start to discover and enjoy Hüsker Dü , I also commmend you Everything Falls Apart their first and probably my favorite album by them

[vidrio12]

Que jovencito Frank..

que gran tema.

[Silverfucked]

i hate this street

[wanderings0ul]

that intro is killer

[matjpow]

34 people (that gave thumbs down) are empty on the inside!

[PixieLover908]

Love this song!!!!!

[MrStrangemode]

fathers of the alternative

[squidster29yay]

@MrStrangemode and mother :)

[nirvanaluvr7205]

its been a long time since someone's played as good as they did live.

[YoJMMT]

Saw them last Saturday in Mexico City... holy, shit!!!

[paokg4g4]

CARIBOUUUUUUUUU i love this song!!!!!!!!!

[muycordial]

This song is soooooo lovely!

[vfebm]

this version is where its at.

[ThePieIsLie]

Those who love Nirvana have obviously never heard the Pixies.

[videogamer175]

@ThePieIsLie What's that supposed to mean? You can't like both?

[ThePieIsLie]

@videogamer175

Poor choice of words I know and sure you can Just referring to those who worship Nirvana and Kobain without question and never think to look up his influences. I listened to Nirvana regularly but the first time I heard Come on Pilgim it was impossible to go back. Brilliant stuff.

[YoJMMT]

@ThePieIsLie Cobain said too many times that his music was deeply inspired by the pixies...

[stratokastered]

WAY better live

[Kapixdos]

Anybody who will talk about how god damn good the pixies are, is a friend of mine.

[txlivenlocal]

love this version. amazing

[xallux1069]

It's funny. A band from Boston helped create the west coast, grunge music that I grew up with.

[AronofskysKumo]

i prefer this life version to the album version

[SushiGoat]

Live Come On Pilgrim>Studio Come On Pilgrim

[marianamacosta]

best of the best

[lcacwelder]

God there so good.

[caribousteve]

I love The Pixies, and my favorite animal is Caribou.

This song is the best thing to ever happen to me.

[BikeRide420]

@caribousteve I truly agree, the pixies rock and this song is amazing.

[kurzslus]

@caribousteve rofl even your name is caribousteve :) haha

[Alphabex8]

omg Kim's surrounded by pirates! (i think she likes it)

[graceychan1]

god i love this song

[pickinanddreamin]

Yes

[skulliz]

I prefer to listen to their songs live. They sound so much better live than they do on the album. Not many bands can do that.

[MaddogWolfowns]

Anyone listening to the background voices at the end?

I LULED.

[HoHenHein]

Caribouuuuuuu!!! ~

[karlosvergara]

caribouuuu.

[unclefeezus]

How is Kim Deal so cool?

[lbguitz2]

@unclefeezus i think it's because she's natural. no pretensions

[unclefeezus]

@lbguitz2 I think you're right. There are lots of people out there who work hard at being cool, but for her it's just an intrinsic part of her personality. She can't even help it.

[eLLAMUSic5]

one of my favorite songs!

[JSAUSEdaBOSS]

REEEPPEEEENNNNTTTT!!!!!  RREEEEEPPPEEEENNNNTTTT!!!!!!

[chrisdavid4026]

the smiths are my first love but the pixes are running them close... my fav bands of all time

[kingofkyuss]

@chrisdavid4026 Its funny because the Smiths an Pixies are my two favorite bands also.

[chrisdavid4026]

@kingofkyuss i like your taste in music

[chrisdavid4026]

@kingofkyuss hi again m8, you must check out the pixies @newport live accoustic versions....in particular my fav... " cactus"....i'm playing it over and over

[mrfantasticpotato]

@chrisdavid4026 all about both of them :)

[serefable]

@chrisdavid4026 that was awesome. but the smiths gives a handjobe the pixies. and that's ok.

translated in turkish: pixies, smiths'in eline verir, dönüp ardına bakmaz bile.

[thelinkymouse]

I've LOVED the pixies for about 20 years now, but have only just realised that Frank's not actually saying 'red pants, red pants'

[jsparrish1]

Touring again! Haaaa. I might just get the chance this time!

[stinkywizzleteat]

I dont trust anyone who doesnt like the Pixies, The Clash, or Led Zeppelin.

[fuckamericanidiot]

@stinkywizzleteat that's a lot of people not to trust

[feast182]

this mUSt bE faKE nobODy

is thIs gOOd.

[nonmetaldude]

REPENT

REPENT

[Magdixxx]

Lo mejor....



[Segerslaan1234]

oh memories, some good, some less, but nice music anyway

[anshelm222]

i love you pixies

[Leiisuperstar]

Excelente!

[comradebashu]

there are 32 dislikes on this video,which leads me to wonder, whats wrong with their ears

[GamerFloTV]

@comradebashu how could someone dislike this band.

[altea1981]

Pezzo straordinario...

[LamaPaj]

You can hear how insanely inspired Nirvana was by the pixies in this song.

[fly1281]

@LamaPaj i love nirvana ...and i love the pixies

[blade1953]

@3childrenofbodom3 YES!

[isaaccuddles]

@3childrenofbodom3 some people are, be happy we're not among them

[waronice09]

one of their best.

[Kablamvideos]

@JBlackrose, what human being could possibly hate the pixes!? good call braking up with her

[westcyderydin]

@3childrenofbodom3 people who watch lady gaga arn't music fans at all they just accept whatevers given to them. Lady gaga has so many views because of her image and artificial and " catchy" songs witch are heavily marketed. And kurt kobains death probably killed the hopes of a good rock band being mainstreem. I guess theres a reason why you don't here pixies on the radio

[brassmonkeyjew]

@westcyderydin

Ahem! Lady Gaga just happens to be classically trained (for your info!)... I highly doubt this guy is even house trained!

[westcyderydin]

@brassmonkeyjew classicaly trained? do you even know what that means. If lady gaga was classically trained she would have taked years of lessons in classical piano or guitar. Im sure she has never done that and neither has the pixies. lol

[takethisyou0tube]

@westcyderydin actually she did spend years training as a classical pianist. A lot of commercial ass-pop's most successful exponents have their origins in traditional music academies.

[westcyderydin]

@takethisyou0tube wow i guess your right. She is classicaly trained. But i guess she makes a lot more money as a pop singer than basing her talents on piano

[JBlackrose]

@brassmonkeyjew we are talking about Musicians not Lady Gag gag

[KzafHD]

@3childrenofbodom3 Yeah, apperently there are people who like Lady Gaga and never heard of the Pixies...

i was like, really?

pop is overtaking rock :/

[jaekn]

@KzafHD Overtaking is the understatement of the decade

[fabtrain]

Pixies Lives!!

[mjloy76]

I was 12 when this song came out and fell in love. Today I'm 33 and still even more attracted to it---the anger expelled makes it even more understandable...

[jomipy]

@3childrenofbodom3 i guess it explains why McDonalds serves billions everyday

[MrAugust767]

Joey's tone is just simply amazing.

[cogard1979]

@3childrenofbodom3 Why yes, yes they are.

[vanhoeckew]

they come to belgium !

[samoerai009]

@vanhoeckew ik wou de pixies zien ma ik wist pas da ze in belgie hadden opgetrede 2 dagen na het concert :(

[scdlbrdr]

Today's music is so corporatized it's been irreversibly pussified. The leader's of the music business have halted the evolution of music by filtering out any diversity. The only "artists" that get any media time have all been carefully selected by these pussy CEO's of record labels to condition younger generations into whetever the fuck it is they want them to be.

[joshuakirsh]

Kim Deal aka Mrs John Murphy used to be super hot, now she's just an ego maniac and totally sucks, thank g-d the video cut her off before she just started talking to hear herself speak.

[TheOpuzenac]

@3childrenofbodom3 85% stupid

[cornholio109]

@3childrenofbodom3 ya pretty much! Ask any fans of Gaga goo goo who frank black is or if they heard of the pixies they would look at you with a blank face like wuh?

[dylandecrayk]

@3childrenofbodom3 no, there's still four hundred thousand of us smart people left

[3childrenofbodom3]

@dylandecrayk lol true , the bands that have great talent aren't being recognized.

[KristianaMarine]

EPIC SONG. one of the best bands ever.

[CreeperDELUXE]

@3childrenofbodom3 yeah pretty much

[VK2008Benidorm]

@3childrenofbodom3 I guess your question is a retoric one, isn't it? :)

[scdlbrdr]

I think this is my favourite song by the Pixies. This and No 13. Baby.

[Iamdustyk]

@3childrenofbodom3 No it is just that only truly cool people like this. There aren't a lot of us around :)

[zfortyounce]

@Iamdustyk HAHA.... Another fan tooting their own horn for being into a band. Maybe you could start a club and people will be your friend cause your so cool an like The Pixies. :)

[AVmak96]

@zfortyounce You are the smartest person ever for coming up with that idea. I will get right on that.

[lightningwit]

@3childrenofbodom3 P-p-p-poker face p-p-poker face!

[Buldaner]

No. They're not stupid. They're just not not stupid.

[diehard054]

well obviously since you can't answer that question. lol

[13feroze]

BEST LIVE BAND EVER

[JBlackrose]

My Girl Friend hate The Pixies.

I broke up with her.

I need a Better Girl Friend!

[c2lhu]

@JBlackrose hahahahaha Gold! :)

[JustOneMeatPuppet]

@JBlackrose Wise decision!...now, if you could only find a girl who listens to the Pixies and also plays bass, that would be the woman to marry ;)

[stephenmyers99]

@JBlackrose AHAHAHHAAAAA! BRILLIANT!

[MontyPython80]

@JBlackrose Actually you should have killed her and buried her is a shallow grave ppl like that dont deserve to live.

[JBlackrose]

@MontyPython80 a bit harsh I think.

[rnrbishop]

@JBlackrose good move. Anyone who doesnt like the pixies is suspect in the extreme.

[TommyTheCommi]

@JBlackrose Your ex-girlfriend hates the pixies, there fore I hate your ex-girlfriend. Classic example of cause and affect..........bitch. lol

[imakedookie]

@JBlackrose yes brother yes!

[Macnavor]

@JBlackrose Well I hated my brother for so long for being a bad example of a brother .......now I don't but before being friends again he knew about good bands and still I was mad at him so even we like the same bands some of them doesn't mean we like each other!!!!

[TheTrinirocker]

@Macnavor thats true

[Dalgren969]

@JBlackrose

talk about having the right priorities my man!

[jdkipp]

@JBlackrose true that dude

[DMoon34]

@JBlackrose should have just left it at -i broke up with her haha

[olliebalc]

@JBlackrose lol

[lcacwelder]

@JBlackrose I don't know you or how old, but a girl I was seeing had never heard of The Talking Heads.

[pergolio]

@JBlackrose AAAAAHAHAHAHHA

[skurvoala]

@JBlackrose Congratulations for your choice! :-)

[bohemianbond]

@JBlackrose thats one of the best comments ive ever seen on youtube!

[samoerai009]

it's becouse of nirvana and a friend of mine i listen to the pixies and i thank them both so much

[zilvafish]

REPENT!!!

[JBlackrose]

@zilvafish John 3:17 

[he110deadkitty]

@3childrenofbodom3 ....yes haha daily life answers that question

[joebstarsurfer]

I loved this song.Not sure whats happend to music Electros good and pop will never die.But indie Florence and the Machine songs about nothing.

[potdog47]

Charles Thompson AKA Frank Black Francis= God.

[potdog47]

best band....ever.

[comaradella]

@3childrenofbodom3 Sorry to let you know the sad truth, though obviously you already were suspecting the worse. YES WE ARE. WE ARE THE PEOPLE, AND WE ARE STUPID.The music being a small example of it.

[scdlbrdr]

I prefer this live version over the recorded version by far! Unspeakably good song!!

[cenipain]

@3childrenofbodom3 people is STUPID !

[alexstarize]

@3childrenofbodom3 yes stupid humans .that is actually the final answer to everything lol

[dobleache52]

@3childrenofbodom3 because most of people like easy & fast, concepts as gaga.

[b3rtsback]

@3childrenofbodom3

Yes obviously they are as Lady gaga (name says it all) and The Pixies are universes apart .......... The Pixies Rock Lady Gaga is shite ..............

[b3rtsback]

Yes as Lady gaga name says it all and The Pixies are universes apart .......... The Pixies Rock Lady Gaga is shite ..............

[JustOneMeatPuppet]

Ahh, memories of discovering the Pixies...overwhelming. One of my best summers, glued to my mp3 player on the beach, when suddenly, it clicks: These guys are one of the greatest bands on the face of the Earth!

[dieselskyy]

Pixies, Cure,Siouxsie,Bauhaus saved me in H.S.

[JBlackrose]

@dieselskyy me too

[Ieatbabyseals]

@3childrenofbodom3

Yes

[Sat191]

Nice, really nice band !

[vprice509]

One of the greatest rock songs of all time.
