Bailey's Walk Lyrics
bailey!
he takes some steps
and bopped his head
he spins
turns around
takes some steps
yeah!
the method
of stop, tap, spin
no talkin'
bailey's walk
the method
of stop, tap, spin
of no talkin'
bailey's walk
bailey!
bailey!
on parking lots and big highways
daily!
it's crazy
yeah!
the method
of stop, tap, spin
of no talkin'
bailey's walk
the method
of stop, tap, spin
and bopped his head
turns around
takes some steps
of stop, tap, spin
bailey's walk
of stop, tap, spin
bailey's walk
bailey!
daily!
yeah!
of stop, tap, spin
bailey's walk
of stop, tap, spin

I always wondered where Kurt Cobain got his quirky little way of singing....
Yes kurt idolised The Pixies in a big way... One could only imagine his joy when they appeared on the same bill playing the same gigs together. I think kurt had awesome musical appreciation and The Pixies is no exception.

Nice observation, muchthanmore. The vocal style definitely sounds like what Kurt would be singing a couple years later. It's certainly one of Black Francis's more powerful performances, and I think it might be my favorite "Doolittle" B-side, at least up there with "Into the White" and the "UK Surf Mix" of "Wave of Mutilation." Man, those singles had some great B-sides on them. Only Bob Dylan could throw away songs this good without hurting his albums. I've always wondered what "Doolittle" would've been like if if included these outtakes. It was a pretty short album, so there was certainly enough room for them. I wonder what compelled the band to toss them aside. In any case, it's the greatest album ever recorded (IMO, of course) with or without them.
charles aka frank black aka black francis studied abroad in puerto rico. according to him bailey is literally just some guy who he kept seeing around in san juan. apparently bailey really did "stop, tap, spin" when he walked...fruity...classic pixies
Crazy guy, his unique manner of walking.
