when you start looking forward to your next migraine as it gives you another reason to sing along to the song "Headache"
when you are constantly trying to work the word "pelagic" into everyday conversation
when music that stays in 4/4 and has phrasing in multiples of 4 bars seems somehow awkward
when, whenever someone mentions a city name, you pretend to be still listening to them, but in actuality, you're thinking about the corresponding Frank Black song
when you console everyone by saying "don't cry that way"
when everyone wonders why you're an expert on the plight of the Wiyot
when you set your voice mail to record straight to 2 track

sadly, pelagic would be in my everyday conversation anyway.
erm,
when your last.fm playcounts for the last 3 months show nearly twice as many listens as any other artist.
when you can't see a bee without wiggling your bottom and looking for the nearest churchyard
when you try to calculate how many atoms are in your heart
when you look up the oddball society gathering on the internet, hoping to join the organising committee
when you write a story about what happened to Pong ;)

when all of your various internet/e-mail passwords are derived from Frank's songs. (true story, for me)

Heloise, definitely. Not tempted by Isabel or Ramona?

No. Been thinking about Nadine too but mrs Denis isn't fond of it. Valentine is nice too.
As for the boy, it'll be either Jesus or Shazeb :)

When you insist on flying all the way to Nashville to record your bands new demo.
When you ask total strangers down the pub "So, what do you think of Tiven's production?"

I'm sure there is an efficient literal translation to the way Frank likes to refer to himself as "me" alot. As in, "Got me so down", etc.
I've been told to "Quit talking like Frank Black" by my wife more than once. |

When you're forever in need of Rasthof.
When you complain to your doctor about a lump in your 'taco.'
When you get no positive results from such pick-up lines as, "I Love Your Brain" and, "Let's make bumblebee love, honey."
When you DO get positive results with such pick-up lines as, "Hey baby, you know why they call me 'The Snake'?"
...But it always leads to inevitable disappointment on their behalf... |

I do those two a lot. My friend once said that no matter what anyone says I can think of a line in a song that is exactly the same.
And I think I once told someone to "not cry that way" or something stupid like that.

When conversing with others, no matter what the topic, I tend to relate the situation somehow to Frank Black. For example, someone was recently talking to me about moving a lot as a child and I pointed out that Frank Black attended something like 17 different schools.
Also, someone told me a Chuck Norris joke and I pointed out that FB.net has a Chuck Norris joke thread.
etc.... |

My friend once dated a girl I'd nicknamed Big Red after she dyed her hair really bright red. I don't think she minded me singing the song when I'd see her. Well, maybe. She wasn't skinny but she had a good Canadian self-depricating sense of humour.

A friend e-mailed the other night because he'd convinced his wife they should name their first daughter Velouria. But that's too much Pixies, not Frank.

When you take your pregnant wife to an FB show (we didn't know at the time)
When your four year old son (who heard the best FB show ever in the womb) can request and sing "Dirty Old Town" from to beginning to end. It is so funny to hear his little voice and hear "And I'll cut you down, like an old dead tree" or "And I kissed my girl by the factory wall"
It was going to be Velouria if either of my two boys turned out to be girls instead.
It's crack. It's great. It gets you really high. |

My kids know so many FB songs, and ask me questions about them. Like: "Why does he say 'Yesterday I will burn'?" (I finally figured out it's "Yes, today I will burn.") That was from my 7-year-old. And my 4-year-old said, about a line in the song Show Me Your Tears, "It should be 'I puked my guts OUT,' not 'I puked my guts.'"
Also, you've been listening to too much Frank if you try to trade your VCR for a pocket full of cash. And you've REALLY been listening to too much Frank if you tell the guy at the pawn shop about how Frank stopped in the middle of that song at a show recently and bitched about how a Forum member wanted him to change VCR to DVD player.

I know a friend of a friend who is big and red, and therefore is named Big Red. There's also a pub I visit sometimes. And the chewing gum. It would be so much easier (and I would get fewer funny looks) if I didn't start 'do do dooo' ing every time I heard that.
