Pixies - Bam Thwok
Wiki explains: *"Bam Thwok" is a 2004 download-only single by the American alternative rock band Pixies. The song was written and sung by bassist Kim Deal, and released exclusively on the iTunes Music Store on 15 June 2004. Upon its release, "Bam Thwok" was a commercial success, debuting at #1 on an early version of the UK Download Chart. The song is the band's first recording since 1991's Trompe le Monde, and as of 2007 is their only original recording since their 2004 reunion.
"Bam Thwok" was originally composed for the children's movie Shrek 2, but was not selected for the final soundtrack. The song's lyrics display a surrealistic and nonsensical nature typical of the band; Deal's inspiration was a discarded child's art book she found on a New York City street. "Bam Thwok"'s major theme is "showing goodwill to everyone." However, it received a mixed fan reception, due in part to an organ solo that appears midway through the song.*
