Like many songs by bandmate and Pixies leader Black Francis (aka Frank Black; Charles Thompson), the lyrics of "Gigantic" are more than a bit idiosyncratic. In this case, the lyric is unabashedly about sex, specifically with a particularly well-endowed man. It is just barely veiled in a metaphor -- if you want to call it that -- for humor's sake: "Gigantic/A big, big love." "Gigantic" offers a change of pace from Francis' obsessions. Deal once offered her perspective on the different styles, "Do I write the same kind of songs as Charles? No! Get outta here! I don't care about the Bible! I don't care about UFOs! Who wants to know about that stuff?" No song celebrates and captures erotic joy better than "Gigantic." -- Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:gpfpxxwjldhe
