Inappropriate Lyrics:

"Frank Sinatra"

The Inappropriate Lyrics:

'While Frank Sinatra sings 'Stormy Weather' The flies and spiders get along together, Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record.'

Why They're Inappropriate:

Continuing what D-Rad said about names only mentiones once in songs that are the title - Gorillaz also did a song called Clint Eastwood, that doesn't mention, and isn't about Clint Eastwood.

"Frank Sinatra"

The Inappropriate Lyrics:

'While Frank Sinatra sings 'Stormy Weather' The flies and spiders get along together, Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record.'

Why They're Inappropriate:

Someone said that one mention of Frank Sinatra does not 'warrant a song title'.... The Postal Service has a song titled Clark Gable... and only mentions his name once. The Foo Fighters have a song called Hey! Johnny Park... which never mentions and isnt about Johnny Park.... So I'm pretty sure it's ok for Cake to have a song called Frank Sinatra... Let's let the artist decide what to call a song shall we? After all....it's their song...not yours.
