    It often comes to my mind that this may be the best punk rock song ever.
    It always gives me goosebumps when Francis replaces second verse with just "ahahaha!". There's so much energy throughout the song which is doubled up by the lyrics that doesn't even make sense. The riff is great too, which sounds like a spaceship travelling through a blackhole. Genius.

      Flipper’s “Ha Ha Ha” also has demented, slightly evolving laughter in a noisy grunge song’s chorus. It’s no surprise that Kurt Cobain used to wear a homemade Flipper shirt, and of course proclaimed his debt to Pixies as well. I wonder if this song was Frank Black’s own homage to Flipper.

    Pixies are an excellent alternative music band that influenced many bands that were commercially successful from late 1991 onwards. Kurt Cobain confessed that he was inspired by this cult alternative rock band for some hits from some of his grunge group Nirvana. My great admiration for Pixies and their alternative rock music, and their influence on other artists in the nineties to the present day, leaves me speechless because they are not enough to praise a great band like them. Congratulations on your excellent record work and your concerts! I have the Doolittle album in CD format with great pride! You guys are true pioneers of alternative music!

    My dissection & analysis of Surrealism, including Un Chien Andalou, rewarded me with an A grade in History of Art, which preceded the release of The Pixies Debaser by approximately 2 years.
    So when Doolittle’s Debaser hit the airwaves in ‘89 it made perfect sense to me.
    A Dali aficionado from the age of 15, I’d studied his art & read all of Dali’s written works by the age of 16 & saved up to buy my first Dali lithograph series, Saint George & His Dragon, which I bought when I was 18.
    I pursued surrealism with vigour experimenting extensively with LSD during the so-called British Second Summer of Love, days & nights melding into One.
    Unshackled from The Great Cosmic Looking Glass of The Internet we were as free as the Romantic poets & writers, to live every minute of our lives like it was our last, without the compulsion to impress or influence anyone.
    Good times.

      Can't speak for the others, but let's be honest. As awesome as Sonic Youth are, they tried hard, and succeeded, at being the VU of the '80s. Nirvana, on the other hand, tried to be the Pixies of the early '90s, and Smashing Pumpkins tried to be the Pixies of the mid-to-late '90s. Push to shove, Pixies was a much larger influence in the alt-rock scene than sonic youth ever were. That said, that doesn't mean any of the bands I mentioned sucked, they're all pretty stellar in my opinion - and it is just that.

    "Doolittle" was my favorite Pixies album. The band, at this point in time, along with The Mekons and The Jazz Butcher, were making the best noise of the 80s. For me, anyway.
    "Surfer Rosa" & "Doolittle." "Fishcoteque" & "Big Planet, Scary Planet" from The Butcher.
    And finally "Honky Tonkin' ", "So Good It Hurts", and "The Mekons Rock 'n' Roll" all came out in the years of 1988 - 89 (except "Honky Tonkin' " came out in '87 - sue me.)
    I could stretch it out to '90 -91 to include "Bossa Nova", "Condition Blue", "Curse of the Mekons", etc. But I just wanted to focus on the material immediately surrounding "Doolittle."
    It was a a treasure trove of music that holds up, undated, against any band, any performer that I can think of. Well, except for some kind of Once In A Lifetime virtuosic genius shit like Jimi Hendrix or "Blood On the Tracks" or "London Calling" & "Sandinista!." Shit like that stands alone and you have to be reasonable & objective.
    But this was a great time to be alive & witness & experience these bands as it happened. And now is a great time to be alive because people still have even more and easy access than ever to this music. It's available in more formats to be streamed, downloaded, or mailed straight to your mailbox. We NEVER had any shit like that when it came out. It's freaking awesome. So again - NOW is a fantastic time to be alive because the music hasn't changed - it's still as moving, funny, and powerful as ever and just waiting to be relived or discovered.
    So if you're reliving The Pixies but you're not familiar with The Mekons or The Jazz Butcher or Jazz Butcher Conspiracy (the guy's name is Pat Fish & he's recorded under both) I urge you to check em out & discover!
    Or turn someone who hasn't heard The Pixies on to them & let them discover!
    Music is a wonderful gift. Share it. Especially share it with yourself. :)

    Siempre habrá discos irrepetibles que han marcado una época. "Doolittle" es una de esas obras mayúsculas, que ahora 25 años después sigue igual de vigente. Un clásico que no ha perdido fuerza. Hoy sigue resultando un placer poner en el tocadiscos un vinilo como éste, no por añoranza o recuerdos de una juventud perdida, si no por un sonido fresco y contundente lleno de temas de alta tensión como: "Debaser", "Tame, "Here Comes your man", "La la love you" o la estremecedora "Monkey gone to heaven". Han pasado 25 años y parece mentira. Ahora se reedita el original para conmemorar este aniversario con sesiones de la banda para el programa de Jhon Peel, en la BBC y un tercer disco de maquetas. Puro indie-rock. Ideal para estas fechas.
