This has one of best "surfer riffs" I've ever heard in a song. Add the meaning and the "upbeat" tempo is all the more ironic. Finally, the nod in the title to Velvet Underground. The result is likely the best Pixies song, and that's saying a lot!

Frankly, I believe this is the best Pixies song. The ultimate combination between beautiful and interesting lyrics (About the A-bomb) and a pop tune that gets to you. Obviously, underneath the screams and noise there is a pop writer, and “Here come you man” reveals its full potential.

I'm not sure what Frank means with the verse "There is a wait so long, you 'll never wait so long" Does anybody have an idea on this?

This song makes me so happy. Although after I've listened to it that riff stays in my head for days.

About what Onafriday and Plosion said: Yes, this song is about the atomic bombing on Nagasaki, but Black Francis wrote these lyrics in that cryptic way for a reason. He could've easily written a much direct reference to the Bockscar, but he prefered to call it "Box car" to hide its identity from public view and, I think, stimulate the imagination of the listeners. This song is very alike an O.M.D. track titled "Enola Gay", which speaks about the first bomb drop on Hiroshima and which compares that event to a kiss.

Only the pixies could make a song that sounds so upbeat and cheerful about an atomic explosion.

i think frank black said one time that the title was an "homage" to the velvet undergorunds' "waiting for my man" which had been a big influence to young frank
