"Frank Sinatra" comes from Cake's 1996 album Fashion Nugget, and it's the band at its most deadpan and moody, a slow, shadowy number that leaves the swagger at the door and lets the gloom settle in. John McCrea wrote the words and the music himself, and the band produced and arranged it on its own terms, with Joe Johnston, Craig Long and Kirt Shearer engineering.
