Frankie Teardrop : ウィキペディア英語版 | Frankie Teardrop
"Frankie Teardrop" is a song by Suicide from its acclaimed first album ''Suicide'', which was released in 1977. The song tells a story of a young father and poverty-stricken factory worker whose destitution drives him to insanity. One day, Frankie comes home from work, murders his wife and child, and then commits suicide. The narrative then continues to follow him into hell. The musical backing on the song is sparse, featuring just a simple keyboard riff, drum machine, and the vocal line, creating a chilling atmosphere. Singer Alan Vega's "Dark, inhuman screams" add to the claustrophobic nature of the piece. ==Reviews== The track has had many reviews for its unique nature, both in its disturbing nature (Nick Hornby in his book ''31 Songs'' described it as something you would listen to "Only once"), and for its political viewpoint, by Allmusic as "More literally and poetically political than the work of bands who wore their radical philosophies on their sleeve". Bruce Springsteen has cited that he loves this song in interviews, and that it was an influence on his album ''Nebraska''. Pitchfork cited it as "(track that ) gets most of the ink" in terms of critical acclaim, and jokingly as "''Taxi Driver'': The Musical" when citing the album ''Suicide'' in its 100 Greatest ’70s Albums list.
