My friend Carrie just told me about a Pixies’ song called “Tony’s Theme” from their album Surfer Rosa, and it’s great — I can’t believe no-one’s told me about it before!

Anyway, here are the lyrics, which I found on another website:

This is a song about a superhero named Tony
It’s called Tony’s Theme

He’s got the oil on his chain, for a ride in the rain
No baloney
Ride around on my bicycle like a pony
I’m waving hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Gu-gu-gu-Gimme a scream
Give me, give me the theme
Of Tony

To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny

I am Tony, super bicycle Tony, I’m racing
Spitfire turn and pop a wheelie, burn and evil chasing
I’m waving bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
I got a card in my spokes
I’m practicing my joke, I’m learning

To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny

This is a song about a superhero named Tony
It’s called Tony’s Theme

I can look at the sun if you give me some bad sun glasses
I’m back on the road, I cut my grass like I’m told
AFTER CLASSES!

To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny
To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny, To-ny
To-ny
