Oh boy..there are going to be a lot of "Where is My Mind?"s...
I'd have to say "All Over the World".

How can it not be "Where is My Mind?" especially if you've fallen asleep watching any part of the Pixies DVD. What you're watching ends and it goes back to main menu where for the next four or five hours you're passed out the opening of "Where is my Mind?" plays endlessly. You wake up and it's like you can't escape that little bit of music.

I was thinking about it yesterday. And it's quite strange:
If you ask me what's my fave Pixies song, I'll say "River Euphrates". If you ask me what's my second favorite Pixies song, I'll say "Hey". If you ask me what's my third favorite Pixies song, I'll say "Something against you", or "Letter to memphis" or "Holiday song" or "Down to the Well" or...
But after all, I rate "Where is my mind" over all these songs. This song is out of any contest. But if you ask me now what's my fave Pixies song, I'll say "River Euphrates" again  .

The Frank Black and the Catholics gig in the Melkweg, Amsterdam from last year did me realise how great Caribou is.
I kind of rediscovered the song.
From the great intro which sets the mood of the song, to the great great verse, to the Repent!!! chorus which is based on an unbelievable chord progression.
These chords are so incredibly awesome, every time I play them I wish I evented the G D# B# B-C# part followed by the D# B C# triplets!
Absolutely the best!
But yeah, Where is my mind? is the song I've heard the most in all these years, and I still can listen to it, and love it every time I hear it.
I prefer the way the Catholics play it live above the Pixies' version i think
I'm bored with the valleys and bored by the peaks. So I bought a ticket to the Pixies |

I'll have to agree that "Where Is My Mind?" definitely stands out among the Pixies' work. "Velouria" is also a stand-out, and probably my favorite (although "Motorway To Roswell" comes close). Both WIMM and "Velouria" have such a grand, awesome quality to them. Just totally amazing songs.

Tame is an unbelievable song. You think you've heard the best of the screaming, then he gets to the screaming at the end, where he like bends his voice upwards. I just get so pumped i want to punch someone!

imo debaser is the pixies trademark. maybe not the best song but it has it all. weird lyrics, catchy riffs and some cool screaming.

I agree that Debaser is their landmark song. Their trademark song. It is also one of their best, even if it is the song I hear the most when I am away from my house.

Debaser is my nickname everywhere else on the net (thought it might be too cliche here )
I also forgot another awesome tune...The Sad Punk!

I always get the lyric "speed leaving without warning..."in my noodle.

The light in your eyes, the smile on your ruby lips/Tells me my lost soul is found" |
