Carrot Rope
"Carrot Rope" is a song from Pavement's 1999 album "Terror Twilight". It is erroneously known as "...and Carrot Rope", the ""...and"" was added to the stylized track listing on the back of "Terror Twilight" signifying that it is the final song on the album and not actually a part of the title. The song was released as a single in May 1999, exclusively in the United Kingdom. Elsewhere, "Spit on a Stranger" was released instead. On the commentary track to the group's "Slow Century" DVD, Stephen Malkmus explained that this single release was at the specific  request of the group's UK label, Domino Records following significant playtime on John Peel's Radio 1 show. The single was Pavement's highest charting single on the UK Singles Chart, and reached a peak of number 27. It was the group's second and final Top 40 single on the chart. Despite the single's success, it was not included on "", although it was included on a limited edition version of the album for Record Store Day, picked by Pavement as the "most imaginative" greatest hits track listing suggested by a fan.
