Frank's Wild Years

Definition

Tom Waits' 1987 theatrical album about a murderous accordion player, blending jazzy melancholy with upbeat tempos in the most beautifully bizarre way possible. It's the soundtrack to a fever dream where sadness wears a top hat and dances.

Example Usage

I put on Frank's Wild Years at the party and everyone asked if my Spotify was broken—uncultured swine.
