The Pixies are known for singing about ' extraterrestrials, surrealism and biblical violence' and the vocalist Black Francis is known for 'yowling' and you would never link this band to a family holiday but add a link in the middle and its possible. The song is about experiences but Black himself.
The song was first used in the ending for the film Fight Club where you see a skyline with a lot of its buildings being blown up, the film itself is about men that join a secret fighting club as well as go about their daily lives. By linking it with these images it gives a new meaning a more violent meaning to the song like the other ones by The Pixies
The song is then used for a holiday advert by Thompsons, but to change it they use a piano and have a little boy say the words which gives it a softer and poetic feel. link it with pictures and clips of a nice beach it gives the whole song a new meaning.
It shows that a song can be given two different meaning but changing how its sung and the images that go with it.
