Frank Sinatra

In this song, Frank Sinatra, one of the most famous entertainers of the 1940s and 1950s, represents that era - a time before the Rock Era when listening to his records was a common source of entertainment during this simpler time. "It sums up a lot of the misunderstandings between the generations," Cake trumpet player Vince DiFiore told the Arizona Wildcat. "Since Frank Sinatra is a part of the previous generation, he illustrates that gap."

"Frank Sinatra" is an early Cake song, part of their second album, Fashion Nugget, released in 1996. It was released as the third single from the album, following their breakout hit "The Distance" and their laconic cover of the disco favorite "I Will Survive."
