FRANCIS ZIPPRICH motorista dos Pearl Jam por alturas do TEN, no qual foi inspirada a musica "Dirty Frank" morreu de cancro em sua casa no passado dia 24 de Abril.
Além dos Pearl Jam foi motorista de artistas como Meatloaf, Nirvana, the Moody Blues, New Kids on the Block e outras bandas desde 1985 a 1992.
A musica "Dirty Frank" foi dedicado ao senhor Zipprich e a banda decreveu-o como sendo um pouco esquisito. Os elementos da banda tinham uma brincadeira entre eles, diziam que ele era provavelmente um "serial killer" que comia gente daí surgiu a música Dirty Frank.
Letra:
(eats meat... eats meat... look out...)
Dirty Frank Dahmer, he's a gourmet cook...
Got a recipe for anglo-saxon soup.
Wanted a pass, so she relaxed...
Now the little groupie's getting chopped up in the back.
Got a cupboard full of fleshy fresh ingredients.
Very careful, at the same time quite expedient.
Eats meat, a release...
Bus driving's harder on your head than on your feet.
Dirty frank!
Keeps it clean, keeps it copasetic.
The little boys and girls, their heads are all collected.
Not crazy, per se...just a little strange when he gets hungry.
City, state, your town, he will continue.
Stadiums, tiny clubs, every venue.
His bus, your trust...There goes another turned into crust.
Dirty frank!
(Watch it now... )
Why that dirty Frank was a bad mother...
Shut your mouth!
Hey man, I'm just talking about Dirty Frank!
(cook... there those fucking kids are driving me crazy... )
Middle of the night, we're stopped, the freeway shoulder.
Frank's shoveling to bury the leftovers.
They're sunk...he's drunk.
Now he's gonna drive, I'm hiding in my bunk.
The band all knows, we're too afraid to mention.
Don't want to be part of frank's luncheon.
Lose weight, be safe...
Where's Mike McCready?
My god, he's been ate!
Dirty Frank!
Frank...
Dirty Frank!
(He's gone fruit loops... it's the perfect job)
Cook 'em just to see the look on their face...
Cook 'em just to see the look on their face.
(Mommy, mommy, I'll just sing to my mommy... )
Why that Dirty Frank was a bad mother...
Shut your mouth!
Hey, I'm just talking about Dirty Frank!
Dirty Frank!
Why that Dirty Frank was a bad mother...
Shut your mouth!
Hey, I'm just talking about Dirty Frank!
Dirty Frank!
(OK, I think that's enough...)
