Has anyone else seen the official for this, with both band members in it??? She vomits all over him. You can see it on website of their label (Kill Rock Stars).
I saw them last night when they played in Hoboken. They were great, and I went wild dancing when this song came on. It was so quiet between songs, so I had a chance to scream a thank you to them for coming to Jersey. Xiu Xiu fans aren't very dance-y people.
Yeah the name was taken from the chinese film 'Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl'. Depressing film. Anyway, my cat is named Xiu Xiu after the band. Non-depressing cat.
My mother is Latvian. There is a Latvian lullaby "Ayah Zhu Zhu" (it's just nonsense, that's the closest phonetic I could come up with). Maybe it's a universal calming sound.
@GodLovesCigars I dunno how everyone thinks it sounds like xiu sounds like shoe. It's much closer to show. Also, having lived in China, and speaking Chinese, I have never heard of this. Potentially because I have never had a Chinese family, but mostly because I think that's a crock. Even if that is true (why my consulting all my Chinese dictionaries and a few on the net leads me to believe it is not) they are named after a very depressing film, and not this phrase.
@Aaronpowellfilms Yeah, but your'e an honest Douche bag (unlike Newt) and like South Park, if I have to chose between a Douche Bag and a Turd sandwich---I'll chose the Douche Bag everything!!! Are you a Republican, Aaronpowellfilms? Now that Cane has withdrawn from the race, you'd be a show in (make that Xiu Xiu) against Mitt...
I fell in love with song I love his voice

I would love this song so much more if they didn't put all the weird electronic sounds in it. Just that man's voice and the guitar.

Xiu Xiu (Shoe-Shoe) is Chinese, it's what mothers say to their children if they fall and hurt themselves.
The closest English equivalent would be "hush hush" or "there there"
