About Bam Thwok in brief
“Bam Thwok” is a song by the American alternative rock band the Pixies. Written and sung by bassist Kim Deal, the song was released exclusively through the iTunes Store on June 15, 2004. It was originally composed for the film Shrek 2, but was not selected for the final soundtrack. The song’s lyrics display a surrealistic and nonsensical nature typical of the band. Deal’s inspiration was a discarded child’s art book she found on a New York City street in the late 1990s. It is the band’s first recording since Trompe le Monde and the first single to be released on the iTunes Music Store.
The track was recorded in a DreamWorks-funded demo session in Los Angeles, California, to record the song with engineer Ben Mumphrey. The band arranged and rehearsed the song in lead guitarist Joey Santiago’s Pro Tools home studio, which he had built for his husband-and-wife band The Martinis. A fifteen-second organ solo appears midway through the actual sound of the song and was performed by Santiago and his band The Breeders. It begins with a full instrumentation over which the guitars and bass do not reemerge until the chorus, which is repeated several times.
