frank black — los angeles
mp3: frank black – los angeles
i’ve been playing catch up recently on the ever-growing mounds of new content on beck’s website. the excerpt below is from the first part of a conversation beck had with tom waits a little while ago… and well, i beg to differ with mr. waits and mr. hansen.
TW: …Actually, Sinatra tried to do a song about Los Angeles. It was really lame. Really lame. It embarrassed the shit out of me.
BH: That was in the 80’s right?
TW: “LA, You’re a Lady.” It was one of those lame, awful… Maybe it’s the rhyme or the rhythm of the name Los Angeles.
BH: Yeah I don’t think anyone has written a definitive LA song.
TW: Maybe it’s the rhyme or the rhythm of the name Los Angeles.
BH: Yeah, I don’t think you can…
have they forgotten about frank black’s classic, “los angeles”? you just rhyme los angeles with los angeles, guys… it works beautifully.
