Aren't they singing: driving home for christmas, are they?
Merry X-mas to everybody, all the listeners, and all the jewellers, goldsmiths!

Your phone has more power than the "portable computers" available back when this song came out.
It was a challenge to make very simple driving games back then, Carmageddon was still a few years away.
Hang on while we dial up Compuserve if you had a PC, AOL (I think) if you had a MAC. 300 Baud modems were king
Thems was the days

This is a great album.

This song is totally different than the rest of the album, but still a great tune to sing along to.

I always remember my brother, at a Breeders show, happily jumping up and down shouting "There's two of 'em!" re: Kim and Kelly. He was in love...

And our friend Jesse smoked pot with them on their bus.

On 9? must be to Poughkeepsie...or away from it ( would be better). :-)

 
{#Lol}  In my experience, Poughkeepsie does look much better in the rear view mirror.  US Route 9 in NYS does go through NYC and NJ - I think as far as Delaware - but I think she may be talking about Massachusetts Route 9 in in this tune, maybe not.  Good tune.

Me, too - sorta makes me slow down and breathe, and smile. And then breathe again and actually notice things like flowers, dragonflies, and cool breezes...  Reminds me of a simpler time when my brother and I were rattling down a country road in his ancient truck with the a.m. radio. We never knew what it would play, so we didn't bother to set the station. One day, we'd get something by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and another day, we'd get a radio talk show.  It was a Russian-Roulette radio.  If people wanted to get around us, my brother would just pull to the side and let them pass, and then he'd get back onto to road and we'd yup-yup along.  Good times...{#Sunny}

For me, Drivin' On 9 was for Last Splash what Here Comes Your Man was for Doolittle.

Always was a fun little ditty but not very representative of what the band was about.  I think I like almost every other song on the album more.

Likely the best spin-off out of The Pixies. Kim Deal in her best performance. The album is a fast listen but no doubt leaves behind indelible moments. Good to start the afternoon!

I agree, I think she means Rt 9 outside of Boston..it actually runs all the way across MA & ends near the NY border.

Phunny that I lived near a Highway 9 once. A winding country two-lane, upon which driving on a nice day was invariably enjoyable.


Phunnier yet so did I.Right next to the Shenandoah River.

Then one day reality beckoned and I had to leave.
