"Hey" is astonishing, just momentous. Scratch beneath the surface and this seemingly normal song is writhing with complicated shit. A masterpiece. And one of the most important bands in modern music.
"My reading of the song is that it is told from the point of view of a mentally unstable man who is sexually obsessed with a woman. (This is a VERY common theme in Pixies songs!) He refers to his obsession with sex and possibly patronising prostitutes (‘Hey, must be a devil between us or whores in my head/Whores at my door, whores in my bed’) and his feeling that he and the lady are inextricably linked (‘If you go, I will surely die. We're chained….’) Things then get wierd, with a section that sounds like a child or a developmentally disabled person describing sex (‘Uh, said the man to the lady/ Uh, said the lady to the man she adored…’) and then gets disturbing with the whined and then shrieked line: (‘Uh, is the sound that the mother makes when the baby breaks’) before returning to the ‘chained’ refrain."...Sven something....
No they certainly don't sound like this could have been released yesterday. That's like saying these guys are no better than the utter trash that passes for music today. Or do you somehow think we were a bit less music savvy back in the 80s. Trust me, we were well used to music that was infinite levels above Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran or Sam Snith. It's almost an insult to them to say they could stand their ground in today's wonderful music scene. What I will say though is that none of the above mentioned artists (sic) would have made the smallest wave in 1988.
I was born in the 80's, my parents were into rock music, and I'm from New England yet my parents have never heard of the Pixies. So glad I found them on my own.
That's cause your parents were listening to bon Jovi and motley cru. The pixies were mostly big in England. That's why they were signed to an English label. Same with nirvana and hendrix. Both were big in the uk a long time before usa heard of them. The American music scene is far too cringe
This is a perfect line up for me,,, with an original one and only woman member (Kim).. I really want the way she backed up as second voice of the original vocalist.. Two thumbs up
how big is the PIXIES!!! well a few band can be recognized for started a music revolution ... Chuck B the R&Roll, Sabbath Heavy Metal... etc etc..... they are gods
What a woman Kim was (is), and what a band - at the peak of their powers, in one of the best-sounding venues there is here in England (the T&C), imo anyway, and so much better sounding, and with bucket loads more atmosphere than all the O2's, or Wembley's or Glastonbury etc. There's just something special about that place. I'm sure a lot of artists must choose it just to record a live album. But what my teenage self would have given for Kim (despite her husband I guess). Between her and Edie Brickell I was one lovesick little puppy alright. What I'd give to be 16/17 again, and to hear them for the first time again.
Hey Pixies Hey Been trying to meet you Hey Must be a devil between us Or whores in my head Whores at my door Whores in my bed But, hey Where Have you Been if you go I will surely die We're chained "Uh", said the man to the lady "Uh", said the lady to the man she adored And the whores like a choir Go "uh" all night And Mary, ain't you tired of this? "Uh" Is The Sound That the mother makes when the baby breaks We're chained.
kim learned playing guitar when young and took the job with the newly forming Pixies after an ad was placed with a local rag looking for a bass player. she hadn't played bass before but learned to play after she took the gig.
and now only 5000 left for 200 000 views. Its not absurd is normal if you see legends and legend moments in early film and videostuff, before they got so famous that tv stations follow them, a video of the really youmg mohammad ali will everytime have a lot of viewers , they give a shit about the quality because what you can see is only in this rar footage. Normal.
Black Francis wrote the song - Kim the lyrics ... funny thing is Francis always seems to premeditatedly play the song ´disrespectfully`, not giving two shits as he plays it ... like he can´t handle others writing songs too, either that or the lyrical content of the song is not much to his liking , lol .

truly a mastarpiece my friend
Couldn't agree more

@@miguelpereira7934 Copy paste?
@@imronburgundy8602 yes,I think i read this on Red it.
Funny Kim doesn't consider herself a real bass player when she wrote one of the greatest songs of all time focused around her bass playing.
+Weedz420 She was definitely a real bass player but she didn't write that song.
the grunge bass sound was made by Kim thats enough!!! well all Pixies sound was replicated by nirvana, Alice in Chain, pearljam etc etc
Word.
Gimme the name of that song pls
@@osckarq5211 🗣 Your right it was Kim but Kim from Sonic Youth not Kim Deal!
This song is so sexy and melancholic at the same time. Best band ever.
deadly nightshade poderia por favor me dizer que é essa em sua foto?
deadly nightshade
Could you please tell me what's in your picture?
francisco Felipe Oi! Essa da foto é a Chantal Goya, no filme masculino, feminino. Espero ter ajudado :)
Pixies are so underrated.this band is what allowed me to make it through my awkward teen years
if anything they're overrated...
@@johnwilkesbo Just like your mom's blow jobs . Very unenthusiastic 😐
in em rn
KIm is ... a GODDESS
❤❤❤❤❤
30 plus years later and this sounds like it could've been released yesterday. All time great band.

How fucking cool can you get.
two masterpieces..... no more 2 say
Insane how hard these two songs slap. So under viewed, so under rated.
I was born in the 80's, my parents were into rock music, and I'm from New England yet my parents have never heard of the Pixies. So glad I found them on my own.
Bigger in the UK in the 80's and 90's than they were in the US.
That's cause your parents were listening to bon Jovi and motley cru. The pixies were mostly big in England. That's why they were signed to an English label. Same with nirvana and hendrix. Both were big in the uk a long time before usa heard of them. The American music scene is far too cringe
The way she says chained is soothing
She is just modest. She is one of the best ever.
The way each instrument is introduced & finally coming together is ear bliss
This is a perfect line up for me,,, with an original one and only woman member (Kim)..
I really want the way she backed up as second voice of the original vocalist..
Two thumbs up
how big is the PIXIES!!! well a few band can be recognized for started a music revolution ... Chuck B the R&Roll, Sabbath Heavy Metal... etc etc..... they are gods
Just pure music my feet can't stop tapping brill
Me encanta PIXIES me inspiran mucho...

This is so good. So so goooood
love this song
So glad that this was my music.
Song is perfection
INFECTIOUS! is the only word i see fit to describe this era PIXIES!
Absolutely. ❤
Adoro essa banda! 💕💕💕
Minha banda favorita.
Joey santiago deberia ser considerado un grande
Extraordinary music from ordinary people.
No gym bodies or fancy wardrobes, plain, simple, great rock music!
Nothing like this song. So, unique and sounds like something that came out of messing around on instruments. Just discovered it and can't get enough.
This is two songs
Just fucking astonishing. How did they come up with this shit?! ❤️
Kim's voice is something orgastic
what the fuck is orgastic
Frigging great tight-ass band working hard on stage! OUTSTANDING!
This ❤
Thanks for this video
Awesome memories... Lazarus
amazing!
aquellos suspiros de los 80¡¡¡ Quien los volviera a pillar¡¡¡
Kim's voice.... i want that to lull me to sleep every night, then Francis' scream to be my alarm clock
Wow!!!!!!!!!
Joey Santiago's guitar playing is what I imagine schizophrenics hear in their head as they drift to sleep at night.
i gotta be one then.
Great description
In fact, no....
Well we disagree
wow

The real shame is the Throwing Muses performance from this showcase not being available.
Wow!!!
Hey
Pixies
Hey
Been trying to meet you
Hey
Must be a devil between us
Or whores in my head
Whores at my door
Whores in my bed
But, hey
Where
Have you
Been if you go I will surely die
We're chained
"Uh", said the man to the lady
"Uh", said the lady to the man she adored
And the whores like a choir
Go "uh" all night
And Mary, ain't you tired of this?
"Uh"
Is
The
Sound
That the mother makes when the baby breaks
We're chained.
up
best banda
Muito bom! =D
Hey🎧😃❤️
Art
Kim❤️
❤
She is humble.
Good shit
Santiago is the real deal here.
kim learned playing guitar when young and took the job with the newly forming Pixies after an ad was placed with a local rag looking for a bass player. she hadn't played bass before but learned to play after she took the gig.
I love these two songs. How did it take me this long to find this fucking clip!?

Fact that a video like this gets 100k + views is fuckin absurd
and now only 5000 left for 200 000 views. Its not absurd is normal if you see legends and legend moments in early film and videostuff, before they got so famous that tv stations follow them, a video of the really youmg mohammad ali will everytime have a lot of viewers , they give a shit about the quality because what you can see is only in this rar footage. Normal.
Black Francis wrote the song - Kim the lyrics ... funny thing is Francis always seems to premeditatedly play the song ´disrespectfully`, not giving two shits as he plays it ... like he can´t handle others writing songs too, either that or the lyrical content of the song is not much to his liking , lol .
isn't this song about kim giving a black guy a blow job
