Came across Empty Mansions last night (a band started by the Interpol drummer) and he has one song about BF ("That Man"). Lyrics are hard to make out but you can hear him hiss "Charles Thompson screaming like hell" or something at one point. Did a bit of googling and he loves Pixies and the first Frank Black album. He includes that album as one of his top five 'drumming albums' too. http://www.ludwig-drums.com/features/interviews/fogarino2009.php

Then there's this fun Ron Weiner song called The Jack Black and Frank Black Song. http://www.ronweinermusic.com/music/jackblack.mp3
1. Empty Mansion - That Man
2. Rob Weiner - The Jack Black and Frank Black Song
Any others? |

I don't know if it's really about the Man. But the title lends itself. Who knows Spanish? |

Official video of That Man. Possibly NSFW, perhaps a bit too much flesh I dunno. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HiVOOaAIDXI
'Basing the music around a traditional guitar/bass/drums setup, he draws on influences from artists like Neil Young, Sonic Youth, and The Pixies. And speaking of The Pixies (and the album’s first single “That Man”), Fogarino says, “The song is really about my love for the work of Charles Thompson, aka, Black Francis…But, from a creepy fan-obsessed point of view.”'

Bloodhound Gang - The Roof is on Fire
"I'm not black like Barry White is but I'm white like Frank Black is."
Will Rigby (dB's drummer) - Red Bra & Panties
"Black Francis wears red bra and panties" This is a song where various, seemingly random people are called out as wearing red bra and panties. Including Dominos Pizza.
