I would like to thank Dren for suggesting this week’s Music Monday.

I hope I don’t have to do much introduction to the Pixies, but you may have heard them before while watching the end of Fight Club the movie where their song “Where is My Mind” was featured.

This song was featured on the Pixies second studio album Doolittle and there is a great wikipedia entry about the specific song whose main theme is actually environmentalism but there are arguably strong influences of religious and scientific themes throughout, as you can see in the lyrics posted below.

There was a guy An underwater guy who controlled the sea Got killed by ten million pounds of sludge From New York and New Jersey This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven The creature in the sky Got sucked in a hole now There’s a hole in the sky And the ground’s not cold And if the ground’s not cold Everything is going to burn We’ll all take turns I’ll get mine, too This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven Rock me, Joe! If man is 5 If man is 5 If man is 5 Then the devil is 6 Then the devil is 6 Then the devil is 6 Then the devil is 6 And if the devil is 6 Then God is 7 And God is 7 And God is 7 This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven This monkey’s gone to heaven
