British satirist Chris Morris - whose dark and deeply offensive comedy series have yet to catch fire on this side of the Atlantic - has listened to the Pixies closely. Very closely.He has distilled his findings into this pitch-perfect parody of both their musical approach and Black Francis's PsychoSexualMexico preoccupations.The vocalist employed for the track clinches Francis's primal scream antics as well as his Curly-of-The-Three-Stooges whine.

Well, AA, I'm not quite sure what to think of that. He's spot on parody ala Weird Al, but it didn't necessarily knock my socks off. Maybe the BritMOGgers who are more familiar with him will weigh in.

I'm going to go totally off-topic to say how much I LOVE Lady Miss Ian's new avatar. It makes me smile every time.
Not enough of a Pixies fan to recognize good parody, unfortunately.

Dang! You've probably been and gone, AA. I would have requested a bag of Border Fries or a bean burritto (no cheese). I'll be fine with this glass of water (sniff, sniff, sigh). :-(
