CasanovaZelos 06/09/21 2:24:17 PM #132:	Perfect timing with this one 184. Pixies Debaser (1989) from the album Doolittle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVyS9JwtFoQ Key lyrics: Got me a movie, ha ha ha ho! Slicing up eyeballs, ha ha ha ho! Released in 1989, Pixies Doolittle helped shape rock during the decade that followed Nirvana have cited it as a direct influence, and the dominoes fall from there. As the first song, Debaser acts as a manifesto of sorts. Black Francis kicks the album off by paying homage to one of his own influences, the short film Un chien andalou directed by Luis Buuel. The violent, surrealist imagery of that silent film perfectly match the emotional roulette that is listening to a Pixies album. The perfect part about these lyrics is they really do sound like nonsense without context; theres something deeper to be discovered beneath all this shouting. Debaser feels like a chill surf rock track played at breakneck speeds. Black Francis and Kim Deal have their vocals perfectly juxtaposed, his aggression played against her straightforwardly pretty singing. The second verse is the same as the first, except the back half of each phrase is replaced with a forced laugh. Debaser might actually be among the more traditional tunes on Doolittle at this point, but that is only due to it so perfectly capturing the spirit of alternative rock. This laid a template for so many bands to sing about nothing with great force. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ <cite>CasanovaZelos posted [p:954815814] in CasanovaZe...
