  • this song is super duper awesome, thanks Frank!!! :)

  • Legend & my hero :)

  • Only Frank can rock a song about an Irish Legend....I wish i was him.

  • This vid now has 10k views because I clicked it.

    It deserves ten times this amount of views, what the fuck is wrong with people?

  • Fuck , this is awesome!

  • weird video. Is this the an alternate version? sounds differnt than when i first heard it.

  • One of the best songs Thompson's ever written. After all these years and he's still turning out amazing songs. Don't ever stop, please.

  • Double seed...double orgasm...cool me in the barrel...bye, bye!

  • Excellent! Love it!

    The CuChulainn of song.

  • LEGEND!

  • FB or BF - this man should be recognized as a national treasure. The man's a living legend. Easily one of the greatest song writers of all time.

  • This song is the shit

  • echt oude frank super Dimiblack

  • His music is so good it amazes me every time.

  • There's no vision, like egg vision!!

  • he actually got an award in the town he lived in as a teen that was a "teenager of the year" award

  • @adgato75 lol teenager of the year XD

  • @zigCARNIVOROUS im serious, thats why he named his solo debut "teenager of the year".

  • @adgato75 are you for real? thats funny if its true. but it wasnt his solo debut, it was actually his 2nd solo album and my favorite work of his ,and thats including the pixies stuff.

  • @katkal3 yeah i always forget about his self-titled solo debut. the teenager of the year story is totally true. i thought teenager of the year was good, but not as good as the pixies material.however, fast man, raider man was an awesome album, as was svn fngrs.

  • @adgato75 teenager of the year no es su debut solista. you are wrong.

  • @radiotomi duh. i already said in the other post that i just always forget the self-titled solo debut, probably because i dont like it much. just a habit.

  • Can anybody tab this?

  • Thats just hot.

  • I love Black Francis and I love The Pixies.

  • Frank Black is a genius.

  • I like the double tracking on the vocals. Bass and drum are excellent. And I really like how Charles' guitar sounds. In terms of content of the lyrics maybe it could be about artists copying him, covering him or using his style or ripping off his riffs or points of view? I didn't get a feeling that the lyrics were spot on what they seem in a literal sense. It feels like an anti-anthem but the chorus is so anthemic. A really really cool song. Also it does not have a cheesy guitar solo!

  • Actually, the lyrics are supposed to be straight forward and literal. The song is based on an Irish myth.

  • The only thing I don't like about this is all of the pictures of himself in the video. I'm a fan, but don't care for ego maniacs, hope i'm not contributing to this as we all might be...

  • C'mon, It's obviously a low buget home made video for the song. I think he's taking it back to the roots. And if an artist doesn't show himself performing then what do you show? I like that he isn't doing all this over blown big budget stuff for his videos. It's refreshing and very much in line with the heart and soul of YouTube.

  • After seeing this Video, you caan´t recover F.B. Francis as your neighbor in the underground/metro!! And otherwhile: I want to see especially THIS GUY ! Since Robert Zimmermannn in the 6-70ies, there was not so a great collaboration of mind, style and authenticity (okay.j.cash) like the Personality of F. B. Francis in the Pop-Circus. A FBF Video without Flack Brancis´ Face in the Camera is like Elvis´ "Aloha from Hawaii" only with Beach-Impressions. Keep on run x.
  • the oster of teenager of the year is prolly nostalgia more than egomania, just guessing!

  • To clarify, this was shot in FBF's "office" where he stores memorabilia, recording & stage gear like those amps, flight cases & old promo posters. FBF is one of the least egotistical artists you'd ever meet. The fact that he makes goofy, no-budget videos shot by friends and family, and does so in places like his bathroom and his office actually emphasizes that aspect of his personality. And yes, this is one of the most succinctly brilliant tunes of his career to date. ~ Peter Radiator

  • great comment, i totally agree. FBF is probably the greatest of the underappreciated artists working today.

  • Up there with Bad News as one of the best songs he's written since the switch back to BF.

  • Frank is one of the most awesome song writers ever!

  • Agreed

  • Amen to that...:-)

  • Comment removed

  • all the old posters were cool
