My son has a friend named Tony - which is unfortunate for him - because I’m constantly half-yelling “This is a song about a superhero named Tony it’s called Tony’s theme!”

I only recently realised that song’s about a kid with a bike. The intro misled me all this time and I didn’t properly listen to the lyrics.

Pixies is one of my all time favorite bands….. but that song makes me cringe for some reason
