It bugs me how they made Kim's vocal so much less audible for the album version.

It bugs me how they completely ruined the song for the album version.

... No, not really. Some things I like with the Bossa version, but that Doooowwn too the weeel high-pitched scream of Black's should stay. I don't like the slower tempo either. I like the richer sound though.

Yeah, I think the demo version of this song is better.

I like Bossanova, but yes, they ruined the song. The way Frank sings the last "Down to the well" simply annoys me.

Oh!, and I think it's "oomchickaoom".

Bossanova is my favorite Pixies album, but I think that particular track could have been done better.
