Pixies: Here Comes Your Man (1989 Music Video)
9/10
A successful and memorable video
6 May 2024
The creepiness of its presentation, editing and effects are also part of the charm of "Here Comes Your Man" video, which obviously includes one of Pixies greatest hits with its colorful sounds and lyrics. Not sure how it stands out today, but growing up and getting to know the band with this crazed idea was really something some years ago.

A band performance with mismatching sounds, as Black Francis does not sing the song and he just moves his mouth forming a big "OH", or band members appearing with enlarged foreheads and faces, moving in a slow manner at times - all creepy but funny as well. It doesn't have anything to do with the randomness of its lyrics, but the unusual factor works with brilliance. And if the song got its success (Pixies biggest), is thanks to a colorful and amusing video like this.

A true classic from the late 1980's, and the word classic is not used lightly. It was that big of a deal (no pun intended on Kim). 9/10.
