Has anyone noticed the similarities between these songs? They both are about Frank Black's father and they have both have parts where the first chord is played minor and then is played as a major. Thoughts?

I noticed the father thing, but that's about it. What other songs are about his father, or at least mention him? I can think of these two and "Fitzgerald." There must be more.
 I could not find my honeycomb. |

At a guess, I say 'Sing For Joy'. Someone posted the other day about his father's death, something I'd never read about before. I don't know if it were true and I don't want or need to know, but there are a couple of lines that stand out if the post was indeed accurate.

Funny, Brian and I were just talking about the similarities when he was here. Definitely very interesting.

Yeah, the similarity is quite obvious. Frank ripped himself off!

GN: You used the bridge section from the original version of "Subbacultcha" to make a whole new song on Trompe Le Monde. That kinda strikes me as cheating, were you running out of ideas towards the end?
FB: Why is that cheating? I can do whatever I want with my own songs for corn's sake. The "original" version as you say is the one that got published on Trompe Le Monde. What you hear on the purple tape (released this past July) is a previously unpublished version of the song. If you feel cheated beause you purchased two songs of mine that happen to feature an overlapped chorus (not a bridge) then feel free to patronize another artist. As far as running out if ideas is concerned, that's for you, my darling critic, to decide on your own.

| Frank defiantly put that guy in his place haha. I don't think there's anything wrong with this, frank has quite a decent sized discography its not a surprise that there would be a little overlap. |

| Yeah, it occured to me too. Different keys, but featuring a similar little 'walking' riff. Great songs. |
