Anyone know anything about the song that they ended up releasing Bam Thwok instead of? All I know is that Frank Black wrote it but Id give one fucking million dollars to hear it. So what do you think, mayeb theyll release it on itunes for a suprise next year or even play it at the last show?
Im sure franks song is great but bam thwok was probaly a more happy song and i bet bam thwoks more of a frank black and kim deal singing together type of thing
I can't remeber which interview it was but it was soon after Bam Thwok came out. He said the Shrek people called asking for a song. He wrote one and Kim wrote one, the band rehearsed them both and Kim's was better.
The stage divides us/He is on one side of it/I am far away - Frank haiku
For the last 7 or 8 years Frank has become increasingly modest about his work. He's also being more democratic with the band. In 1991 the band inevitably would have used Frank's song for the soundtrack submission, but now for the sake of the band's health, I believe Frank is trying to be more diplomatic. Even if he believed the song to be fantastic, I'm guessing he would still say Bam Thwok was better based on the fact the band agreed it was.
Also--think of Shrek 2. Which song is going to stand a better chance of making it into that movie--a cute pop-punk Kim Deal song or a song like Hey.
