Frank Black - whatever happened to pong

[josepena1127]

Your video is a favorite on Monrovia

[Morthund]

Pong for President '14

[metrakos]

yes, teenager of the year was great. saw the solo show and with band....solo was amazing

[AngeloNiklis]

One of these days, they're going to play baseball in space.

[ifutureman]

Now virtually everyone is singing the popular song... Yeah, but I still believe in the excellent joy of the PONG!

[HardAsARock222]

"Teenager of the year" is a masterpiece! listening to this album is a daydream of surrealistic fantasies....I hope that if the world someday explodes, this album can at least survive and land in the hands of a faraway, depressed, and lonesome alien. :-+

[MrTracerTong]

I love the intro, i could happily listen to a loop of it for an eternity

[redbeakman]

POOOONG!

[papuanewguineapunkjr]

Fuckin' Weird TV! Awesome!

[vincentpjones1]

This song and album are just timeless.

[gary13th]

classic :)

[musicajuro]

That is the best video I have ever seen.

[umpfco]

I remember Weird TV! The guy on the left at 0:47 looks just like Martin Short....

Great song, even better video. Thanks for posting!

[bigabefree]

long time fan, never heard this song

its crazy when you think of all the lovely things you do not know. because you did not look.

[gary13th]

Teenager of the year - classic album, though my favourites are Show Me Your Tears and Dog in the Sand

[coochflaps]

@gary13th great call, the catholics third album dog in the sand is my favorite from black

[seabee75]

god bless my friend ed, turned me on to teenager in 95"

[Y0UTUBERCUL0SIS]

Teenager of the year.. gotta be a contender for the greatest record ever.

[stainlesstig]

I consider Frank Black & Jay Mascis from Dinosaur Jr. to be the most underrated genius song writers of our time...Those of us that know it ,Know it......Those of us that don't Never will . I guess...Sumthin like that.Anyway,Nice post.Thanks!

[paraxicosis]

pachinko?

[jawhitten]

How was this song not a massive hit??? How did this CD not have like at least 5 top 10's??? How???

[dig6dog]

@jawhitten the gays did boycott. faggets. all their fault *irony*

[paraxicosis]

much radiohead?

[JustStartedPlaying]

This is in my top ten of all CDs of all time

[IrishEyedBlue]

ah I miss the 90s even though I was just a child then. The music was actually good back then now the music today just sucks.

[ShootToLuna]

@IrishEyedBlue Agreed.

[IrishEyedBlue]

I know that makes me sound like an elitist but Ive heard the Top 40 stuff the play nowadays and it isn't that great. I am open minded as far as music goes just haven't found anything worth listening to.

[looshkin66]

How could anyone not like this?

[wwgt]

It is not a matter of them ..

not listening to this..

they are just too deaf, dumb, and brainwashed

as to not ..have ever have listened to it....

 such a great ode to the original video game ..

" the problem with people is...people"

[looshkin66]

Well, there is no accounting fore taste.....but at least we know the excellent joy of the pong!

[AllRiseForDrEvil]

This is some crazy ass shit. And I like it! Frank Black at his most demented, is always a good thing.

[thenavajoknow]

One the best ways to spend 1 minute 33 seconds

[h248sm]

Besides having sex.

[tristanpcolley]

[stugats1]

[j420norcal]

I'll tell you what happened to PONG. It was featured in the movie "Zodiac" when Robert Downey Jr. and Jake Gyllenhaal were in the boathouse in Sausalito...

BAM! Now where's my prize?

[Rusfi7]

I wish I still had my pong machine after listening to this classic.

A crappy game,but this song so inspires me to play pong once again..

[tomlandrymiddleschoo]

very good

[jimthefin]

Teenager of the Year is an amazing record

[Crackerdamus101]

[misscleo3861]

Pretty much just his first two solo albums, the self-titled one and Teenager.

[wwgt]

[SirHatchporch]

Jesus, this had a VIDEO? How did I miss it? Thanks.

[wwgt]

It's official .. as a little kid I remember playing pong. little did I know 25 years later . Musically, i was to be much more influenced than just the blip..blop/..bliip blop..blip bloop and would soon come to know a brand new musical joy.. known as the Genius FB, CT, BF.. and could have, never anticipated the necessary musical transition of..././. pong to / thallsocrossy.. and as a guitar player.. YEAH

[KENVAIL]

gotta love songs that are short and to the point like this.

[thedownwardmachine]

LOL

[nazno]

[Stuie1973]

[gary13th]
