Suprisingly for a band with such cult appeal this is actually the only good version of this song online as the band have continued to tinker with it over the years to mixed results with a more slowed down version found on the "Southland Tales" soundtack being one of the stand outs.
The fact that it's not got more of a presence / fan videos online is only the more suprising when "Doolittle" the second album for the band which it's taken from is often regarded by both fans and critics alike as the band's best album, even though personally I always leaned more towards "Surfer Rosa".
Perhaps in some alternative timeline the Pixies fell into the same unrelenting noisescape as Sonic Youth especially with the howling vocals of Frank Black set against the guitar fuzz and catchy riffs; but somehow as out there as they seemed with some of the tracks there was never the feeling that they were just making it up as they go with Doolittle as an album seeing the band at thier most accessable making it the perfect starting point for those new to the band.
