9. The Happening
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3jNZFcwdg0 From Pixies third album, 'Bossanova', 'The Happening' appears to make allusions to Area 51 ('they've got a ranch they call number 51') and it's apparent dealings with the extraterrestrials and debated existence ('can't see it at all, 'less you're flying by'). All this before Black Francis' extended monologue, which is most peculiar part of the song. The speech lasts over a minute in length, and appears to document a car crash, in extensive detail. Needless to say, what with the subject matter, and Francis' select choice of vocals, this song is a stand out in the Pixies back catalogue.
