Frank Black Don't Get Me Wrong

[Borinater3]

Mr. Thompson...his songs have been my companion for so many years...

[wwgt]

Apparentley, you have all received this song as wrong

Bodliy dimensions have nothing to do , in fact ..

with this song .at all

This song is about Jesus...stuck up on the cross .

what thibk Frank?

[kimowasabe]

Charles......crack out some more tunes like this one man -we know you have it in ya!

[reidpaleytrio]

Great video. I wrote the lyrics for this one on October 21,2006 toward the end of a tour.

[roadsweeper69]

Wow

[subject626]

I wouldnt mind being stuck with him

[amac3223]

Frank ...A legend... A Hall of famer... A genius...

[atdi72]

I love Frank Black. He has inspired me beyond words and changed my life entirely. I believe he may be part alien as his music is beyond human ability. Always wishing him well in his life and career...

[PinballMars]

Great sleeper of a song. Melodic and strangely unsettling. 100% Frank Black.

[thebandcoca]

amazing harmonies

[doogdoogdoog]

Wow, people discussing Frank's weight. Big shocker here.

Shut up and listen to the lovely song, and stop missing the point.

[theghostofchristmasp]

@doogdoogdoog Are these wankrags havin a laugh - I'm 35 and I've been following this man's work since my early teens.. The Pixies were one the first bands I saw play live, in Belfast, when I was 15. Fat?? the man's a fucking genius and looks frigging fantastic.. always has.. mean motherfucker.. totally single-minded.. in the best kind of way.

[MrGrieves1000]

i hate how people who would never DREAM of having a small fraction of this mans talent make fun of his appearance. the great thing about frank is that he could give a shit about the way he looks. he cares only about the integrity of his music unlike emo fags who spend 7 hours doing their hair and have shit music. so id have to agree with forrizzle27 and tell all of you to go fuck yourselves

[GNeman1]

Jesus is the boss!

[homerun5432]

@GNeman1 jesus is cool but would not like jerk offs pushing christainity on people. but hey, everything in religion nowadays is backwards so go ahead

[sloma111]

@GNeman1

I`m God!

[GrandmothersCurse]

me too

[designerxvoodoo]

Great line: 'i'm only stuck in this song for so long'. I love Frank Black!

[GNeman1]

The point of this song:

Respect Jesus you punks.

[poopdog8]

when im sad this song makes me sad.

when im happy it makes me soo so happy

[treemacd]

I won this Gibson Tenor, and yes it is true i bought it from Charles on Ebay. <3 Frank Black<3

[cobyblack]

@treemacd lucky you, you could upload some videos of you playing something nice on it, that would be cool.

[ArtStuVsSeaton]

Who is the person reflected in the bathroom mirror at 2m38s?

[juanpolar]

he looks like marlon brando in apocalypsis now

[wwgt]

I think he is making " light " of

the alien autopsy footage ?

[meesterrain]

When did Charles get that skinny?

[MrSloika]

@meesterrain So many people made fun of his big, fat ass after the Pixies reunion in 2004, he went on a crash diet, and lost 300 pounds. A few weeks later he gained back 400.

[airsunlight]

ñ_ñ love this song,it always helps me feel better

[charloide]

here is aproxilately the intro of the song( the 4 series of chords he is playing at the beginning of the song)

C AmDmC

C AmFG7

C AMEF

C DmCDMC

I think the Chrorus sounds like that:

F G# C

Ok that is not excactly right, but this song is so sweet it is just nice to practice at home.

FRANK BLACK 4 PRESIDENT!

[chavedappelle]

Does anybody know the chords for this?

[tenorlord]

In fact,on the audio, he's playing a Martin six string.

This video shows him playing a Gibson.

[tenorlord]

This Gibson tenor, used as a prop here to cynically jump on the tenor's recent resurgence, (due in part to Ani Difranco and Neko Case) is currently up for bid on eBay. (autographed)

[ronnkarenmccoy]

Led to the birth of my daughter.

[jwhiteout]

Yick. Thanks for sharing.

[RockinFilms]

his eyes are intense here

[jeremyshambles]

anyone know the chords for this brilliant song, ive searched high and low but no cigar. thanks kindly, cheers

[tenorlord]

The guitar on the soundtrack is not the one shown in the video portion. It's a six string. Tenors don't sound like that.

[jeremyshambles]

thanks for the response, would you happen to know the chords for this song? much appreciated -cheers

[tenorlord]

Whereas they're just undemanded chord changes, pick any three that appeal to you.

[jeremyshambles]

cool, thanks for the response, take care.

[kimowasabe]

wow...and a gibson tenor geetar too!

Love to see someone not succumbing to the ever present mediocrasies....'not stunted by the madness we see' Sounds like a line from Bukowsky.

Merry Xmas Charles from Canada

[airsunlight]

this song is so...no words. :D

I..just, love it!:D

[minimaja81]

This song brings tears to my eyes every time. love it. Thank god for frank black.

[canterinox]

What a great song!

[gougeaway777]

I love Frank Black.

[21reasons]

I'm in love with this song

[gawd70]

Lovely song for one of the best songwriter ever.

[bostweed]

Beautiful. The Brian Wilson of our times

[bigcardinal76]

Hey, you're right! I never thought of that. Alot of people don't recognize Brian Wilson for the genius he was, they just think of the surfing, beach party song (which is good, too), but some of the later, experimental stuff was out of this world! Even the Beatles acknowledged this.

[kimowasabe]

genius statement

[wwgt]

Frank..

MERRAY CHRISTMAS.,

I Love you man..

all the best to all ...

[volandvasoliono]

beautiful song...

[moslattara]

I've been listening to this over an over for the last few days. You can assume i like it.

[Keikofromelbow]

wow he's real fucked up there

I think he's better with the pixies... guess that's ok though

[romney27]

you can hang it above your couch

[jwhiteout]

Is that other guy his little brother?

[GrandmothersCurse]

and your artist of choice is?

[ohhman5522]

I dont know why everyone likes him i mean hes just a fat bald guy that has no talent and this video sucks.

[jwhiteout]

Sorry, evidently you like to listen to men you find good looking. So come on, let us know who it is you do like. Who turns you on enough to listen? We're waiting...

[elementbam101]

you know what? YOU suck.

[bgdeee]

I will bitch slap your ass silly!!!"ohhman5522"You just woke the dragon...stick and move stick and move,you do not wanna tangle with the snowman!!!!. Now apoligize to Frank!Now!!!Bow down at his feet and apoligize!thats right lick his shoe!!!you will be privileged to lick the gum from his shoe and bark like a dog.now beg for forgivness,like a good doggy!!! i said beg,**SMACK**!! thats better...now smell my ass,**sniff-sniff**,good boy,now Franks **snIff**good now back to the hole u crawled from!

[forrizzle27]

I hate people who say artists "suck" just because they're "fat" and shit like that.

So I hate you. Go suck a cock, dumbfuck.

[caeg8925]

@forrizzle27 he`s fat :) but he sings good

[clone0001]

@forrizzle27 I hate people that tell people to suck a cock... like it's a bad thing! Makes you seem like a misogynist or a homophobe :)

[genowhirl]

@forrizzle27

what the fuck... did someone actually say that?

gangrape time.

[genowhirl]

@forrizzle27

what the fuck... no one could have possible meant that seriously.

[genowhirl]

@forrizzle27

what the fuck... no one could have possibly meant that seriously.

[rimairobi]

this man is sent by angels or god. not human.

[tuckytucky1]

Love it. Moving. Sexy. Nice clip too

[wwgt]

I was stuck in traffic , waiting for a train the first time I heard this and it made it totally acceptable....it was surreal....

I received this cd for Christmas this year,,,,

FB ,,,your the bomb

[steinn456]

holy fuck, this must the the best FB song (and video) of all time... haunting, insightful, brave and powerful - why isn't this on every radio?

[jwhiteout]

Cuz it doesn't suck!~

[bgdeee]

nice b_3/lesley...then lyrics

[modestino78]

please please please please come to italy

[dieTaube0]

can't wait to see him in brussels!!

[hayseedboys]

message

[slydiggydog]

is he playing an acoustic bass? it's got four strings eh-

[SeanBoke]

Tiple?

[terser]

It's a tenor guitar in the video.

[FrankusBlackus]

You are so fucking cool, Charles. Love you.

[wwgt]

what a great tune....

he looks drunk in the hospital bed,,,

Frank you kick a**

[rhesusmonkeyboy]

I can't wait for Frank Black to drop the Pixies off and get back on the road with The Catholics!

[jonahstevenson]

who's been marking this guy down? he's damn right.

[Spellchecker]

For those of you wondering who sings w/ Frank backing vocals it's none other that MARK MULCAHY. man,...what a great voice!!!!!

[gaffergail]

Rarely does the architect of the building get recognized. This man and his music has achieved what the world daydreams about.

[SuperCherry]

You're right.

[yeoldecunt]

I believe this song was a collaborartion with Reid Paley. Reid wrote 4 songs on Fast Man Raider Man and also has 3 amazing CD's of his own.

[0825383540]

Frank Black is dead. Long live Frank Black.

[Elecricoustic]

Enter Black Francis.

A new age has begun.

[Vinelihbe]

yep, it definitely looks like he shed a few pounds there.  Keep up the good work Charles! (the songs and the weight!). Best, Vin

[SuperCherry]

Could be the best Black song from the past 7 months

[ebutuoy868]

Wooooooow!

[kelpcoyote]

Hey, that's pretty good, huh?

[wasted384]

Beautiful song, probably the best songwriter and musician of our time.

[SuperCherry]

Correct and probably the best rock performer since his current tour.

[superstaurm]

This is such a beautiful tune. Frank Black is a god. Where's the top of his heid man! Who is the schitzo on the bed as well?

[SuperCherry]

The answer to your question is: Black Francis

[superstaurm]

Black Francis is Frank Black, aka Charles Thompson, the guy on the geetar.

[SuperCherry]

Correct and the guy on the bed as well. Have a close look at the video again! It's worth been seen over and over :)

[killerpeas]

ok this is kick ass ... but a little scary haha oh well it truely is another best

[hansolorock]

" i was wearing eyeliner, she was wearing eyeliner..."

[SuperCherry]

Falling in love with a song is probably the healthiest thing that ever happen to me.

Thank YOU again and again and again and layer and layer....

[meatformoney]

Lost a fair bit of weight by the looks. Looking younger too.. Maybe that's just the eye-liner?

[killslay]

i gotta try my hardest not to listen to this song to death before december, i can't wait for the album keep up the excellent work franky!

[SuperCherry]

J'aime trop

[CultofJ]

wow, i had no idea he put out a video from Christmass. Thanks for sharing this.

[nippeycookie]

anybody else think this song will end up in a wes anderson film

[jdoncbus]

Good call...also in that Pixies documentary the guitarist and drummer are recording something that I though sounded like some Mark Mothersbaugh or Wes Anderson inspired music.

[Elecricoustic]

I'm glad I'm not the only one to think he looks a little like Billy Corgan in this.

[HappyMuffin]

Aren't you goofs aware that this man has been playing guitar in the shower for over 20 years? I have an old interview from somewhere in Europe where he climbs into a hotel shower and explains to the interviewer that it's his favorite place to play.

[voidy]

now that i think about it, i'd believe it. my favorite place to play is in the bathroom because the reverberation and sound in general there is so fucking great.

[theblowholes]

I know, bathrooms sound great.

[Henjo29]

why is he strumming a bass? Great video.

[iMack56]

It's actually a Tenor Guitar. don't see them very often, but it is one.

[Henjo29]

Wow, I'ver never herd of a tenor guitar. Thanks for the info. I couldn't tell from the video quality. I only noticed four strings. It looks like a huge ukulele. I wonder what the tunings like. I've seen stuff like this here in Japan. It's called ichi go ichi.

[SuperCherry]

Frank Black Francis is good et puis c'est tout.

[garraty477]

Frank Black is God

[gib101]

pretty cool - yo ... don't suppose you have any video for the track - 'abstract plane' off teenager of the year, that was a goodun! - it was easily as good as any pixies song.

[wildmantrucker]

alongfellow: (2 weeks ago)

"I'm not trying to say the Pixies weren't fantastic, but I'm glad they're not a band anymore."

Actually, the Pixies got back together and are recording a new album. No joke.

[SuperCherry]

Billy Corgan = Robert Smith

Frank Black = David Thomas

David Thomas = Robert Smith

Robert Smith = Patty Smith

Smith & Watson

Distance = rate X time

Speak about it

!!

[whoever330]

Frank Black = Billy Corgan

???

think about it

[natwit]

Great song. I hope he's okay. Okay, I do and I don't.

[SuperCherry]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT. Just like the first day!!!

[alongfellow]

I'm glad the Pixies didn't play this, if that's the case. Mr. Thompson's best songs have come post Pixies. I'm not trying to say the Pixies weren't fantastic, but I'm glad they're not a band anymore.

[bluejester49]

Interestingly, some songs on new album 'Christmass' are written by 'Frank Black' and others (like this one) by 'Black Francis' - we think these ones were written for the Pixies, but Kim turned it down. There are some real Kim Deal-esque 'ooohs' at the end of this.

Imagine, we could have been hearing this played by the Pixies!!!

Its all good anyway though...

[elugovina]

This kind of video is the reason why I was attracted to his art in the begining, its eclectic, creative, soulful, and funny/absurd at times. We all need funny, once in awhile. Thanks Frank! and by the way thanks for playing Savannah, GA.

[slappymccrecken]

Frank Black is a legend!

[yamma98]

Great sound! Really excited about Frank's new stuff! He's like Dylan - you may not like everything he does, but he's so prolific it's hard to ignore his creative genius.

He's looking great these days, too! Looks like he did on Teenager of the Year!

[NoDout]

I was wearin' eyeliner

She was wearin' eyeliner...

[SuperCherry]

Frank Black is Beautiful.

[tommycm]

I think he'd wired, not weird.

[LuAnne1978]

Frank Black, rock on u sexy bitch!

[thejustinwill]

Did he get surgery or something, his face looks drastically thinner and WIERD.

[LuAnne1978]

If we're gonna get critical then maybe you should learn how to spell...Frank Black is weird, not wierd

[blueshirttail]

Nice! First time I've heard the song. I really like it.

[gawd70]

Absolutely one of the greatest songwriter of all times! But isn't it a bass the one he is playing in the video?

perhaps He didn't want to ruin a guitar...

Howewer I book a copy of Christmass

[GrandmothersCurse]

ukulele

[figout]

It's actually a 'tenor guitar', which I guess is basically just a big ukulele

[gobbism]

He collaborated with Reid Paley on this one, as well as other past songs.

[hayseedboys]

this is good shit... looks like he got done taking a shit and pressed record...

[Fudgestar]

Great! Frank is scary looking there!

[AdamBuxton]

Good times! Frank Black singing good new songs in the shower with heavy eye makeup, smiling girlishly as he films himself in bed on his camera phone! GOOD TIMES!!! All is right in this corner of the world.

[krazykat500]

"don't get me wrong - I'm only stuck in this song for so long" - THAT is a diamond!

sr

[neveded]

You got it ALL RIGHT in this video. I'm sure you will be solving a lot of cases with the Detective Agency :)

[threeobjects]

Beautiful song. Love the shower effect in the video.

[ivarpall]

This is an absolutely great song. I've missed this kind of experimentation in his recent (although brilliant) songwriting.

[GrandmothersCurse]

As if we needed further proof that Frank Black Francis is indeed the Man.

(beautiful)

[SuperCherry]

One more new and exciting video!!!

Such a nice song...

What a merry Christmass we'll have I think.
