Song Notes: Frank Chickens is another one of those bands that I tend to really sing the praises of that not a lot of people know about. Granted, in the US, they have had a grand total of one release -- and that's a remix 12". D'oh.  In the UK, they're considered a novelty one-hit wonder, though they were actually pretty Residential and experimental.  The main member of the band, Kazuko Hohki's actually had quite a bit of outside success in the UK -- she's hosted TV shows, put on plays, shows, monologues, written books, and all sortsa stuff.  She's also got a couple of solo albums out, but they're kind of hard to find.  This is from the remix CD version of my favorite Frank Chickens album, Club Monkey -- though the original mix is superior.  Not much is different on this particular cut, though, so that's always good.  It's a cool, sad little song with a italian tag -- "O cane! O cane mi amore! Mangia me, ah per favore" -- or, "Oh dog! Oh Dog, my love -- please eat me!" It makes more sense in the song and when combined with the full narrative of Club Monkey .  It's also just a wicked awesome song. - Rev. Syung Myung Me
