“Gigantic” is a song by the American alternative rock band Pixies, co-written by bassist Kim Deal and lead vocalist/guitarist Black Francis (Deal is lead vocalist). The song appeared on the band’s first studio album, Surfer Rosa, released in 1988. “Gigantic” was released as the band’s first single later that year.
Featuring Deal on lead vocals, the song is one of the Pixies’ biggest hits and a crowd favorite at concerts, often played as the encore. The melody line comes from Deal’s simple but effective bass playing—the same bassline is repeated throughout the song.
“Gigantic” never achieved a ranking on any major charts and was their only release from Surfer Rosa. However, it was a fairly successful first hit for the Pixies and maintains radio play to this day....
