"Frank" is a song by Wild Man Fischer from his album "Pronounced Normal" (1981), which he recorded together with the group Barnes & Barnes. Fischer wrote the song as a form of revenge on Zappa after he drastically disowned him after an incident where Fischer threw a bottle at little Moon Zappa.

Dr. Demento once played the song while Zappa was a guest on his radio show. According to him Zappa was so furious that he threatened Demento to never play that song again. The incident is also told and acted out in the documentary Derailroaded - Inside The Mind Of Larry "Wild Man" Fischer.

Lyrics

Franks got money in the bank

Franks got women he can spank

Franks has lots of neat guitars

People buy him drinks at bars

Franks got friends around the globe

Frank has initials on his robe

I think about him all the time

You can say he's on my mind

Franks got money in the bank

Frank owns my publishing rights

Frank doesn't let me sleep at night

Frank has a record in the Top 10

Frank used to be a good friend

I think about him all the time

You can say he's on my mind

Franks got money in the bank

Frank has kids in and a wife

Frank has a very interesting life

I think about him all the time

You can say he's on my mind

Franks got money in the bank
