Frankie With the Snarling Face

After more than a dozen sleepy ballads, Sinatra's no-holds-barred scream of "Heey now!" could send a casual listener into cardiac arrest!

This is Sinatra as you've never heard him, pummeling through this song as if it were a paparazzo in harm's way!

"Take a mip map mop
and a brim bram broom
and clim clam clean up
the rim ram room
'Cause your bim bam baby's coming home tonight!"

At the top, you're not sure if he's annoyed to be reduced to recording a novelty hit, even one that jumps like Louis Jordan and delivers these nonsensical domestic orders: "Get my slim slam slippers and my easy chair! Run your flim flam fingers through my greasy hair! 'Cause your bim bam baby's getting back tonight."

When this verse comes around the second time, Frank mixes up the words and says to "run your greasy fingers through my greasy hair," the trombone makes some farting noise, and you catch the laugh in Frank's voice.

He's having the time of his life barking, "I'll follow the swallow right BACK to my nest!" and "Open that door, baby, 'cause here I come!" For a mere two minutes and 20 seconds, Frank's "every sideburned delinquent on the face of the earth" and he's loving it.

If Rock 'n' Roll Heaven wants a chim cham Chairman, Frim Fram Frankie's coming home tonight!
