Gigantic
Reel Big Fish Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And this I know his teeth as white as snow
What a gas it was to see him
Walk her everyday into a shady place
With her lips she said

She said, "Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul
Let's have a ball
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul
Let's have a ball
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul
Let's have a ball"

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love

Lovely legs there are
What a big black mass, what a hunk of love
He'll walk her every day into a shady place
Like the dark, but I'd want him

"Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul
Let's have a ball
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul
Let's have a ball
Hey Paul, hey Paul, hey Paul
Let's have a ball"

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love

Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big, big love
A big, big love
A big, big love
A big, big love
A big, big love
A big, big love
A big, big love




A big, big love
A big, big love

Mr Type A Personality

I remember listening to this song about a year ago and thinking it was the worst thing I'd ever heard.
Listening again it's not so bad

Jared Rose

i love both of these bands and this awesome, RBF is seriously trolling everybody

Duhreetoh s

At long last, a Pixies song can finally be played on Radio Disney!

Jeremy Hayden

Actually this is Reel Big Fish. It is on the C.D Where Is My Mind? A Tribute To The Pixies. In fact it was put together by Aaron Barrett and at the time their Bassist Matt Wong. I like the fact that is sounds nothing like them. It is still one of the best covers the ever produced in my opinion.

Joey Woodpieces

STILL DRINK AND DANCE TO THIS SONG LIKE A MAD MAN! Love it! And the Pixies!

SabreKittie

Hate for you naysayers, this was kind of my favorite song for awhile. And it was on Viva la Internet, so it definitely IS RBF and not somebody's side project.

Mike Oxlong

RBF should've covered "Something Against You" i always felt like it could be made into a ska version

Ryanrobot99

This is fucking awesome!

IIIOldSchooLIII

Okay, it's nowhere near as good as the original song but on its own, it's pretty decent.

Drew Bludd

@ckaledin I don't mind it. I mean, when a band like RBF covers a songs as beloved as 'Gigantic' you expect they have to do something different/gimmicky to set it aside from the original. Originals are light, fluffy, different versions of the original classic you're used to.
