I'm Frank
Lyrics
Now I've got a lot to say now baby
But it doesn't concern me today now baby
Hello
Gimme gimme gimme it slowly baby
Gimme gimme gimme it slowly baby
Give it to me gently baby
Gimme gimme gimme it slowly baby
Hello
Gimme gimme gimme it slowly baby
Gimme gimme gimme it slowly baby
Give it to me gently baby
Gimme gimme gimme it slowly baby
Shh
Ahh
Unh Unh Anh Anh
Gimme gimme gimme it slowly baby
Gimme gimme gimme it slowly baby
Gimme gimme gimme it gently baby
Gimme gimme gimme it gently baby
Just gimme gimme gimme it slowly baby
Gimme gimme gimme it slowly baby
Gimme gimme gimme it gently baby
[That was Craig's tribute to Frank Zappa. Now we can all laugh about this, but that was his attempt to be Frank therefore I've entitled it "I'm Frank"]
Notes
1. It has often been remarked that this song, which purports to be a tribute to Frank Zappa, sounds nothing like Zappa, but to my ears it's reminiscent of "Hungry Freaks, Daddy," a song the Fall covered 33 times between 2006 and 2011. ^

Possibly that's because Live at Zagreb was recorded on 15 April 1990, and the previous day Manchester City had beaten Manchester United 2:1 at Maine Road.

In which case, there would be another way to read the song's title... the song's protagonist is uninspired and unable to work, and tells his lover very directly that what he wants is sex. Thus he is being frank.
