Francine (song)
"Francine" is a song by the American rock group ZZ Top from their album Rio Grande Mud, released in 1971. "Francine" gave ZZ Top their first bona fide hit reaching #69 on the Billboards charts. It is the only single released from the Rio Grande Mud album. Dusty Hill also recorded a Spanish sung version as well, though Gibbons frequently handles the vocals on stage. Various official ZZ Top releases throughout the years, beginning in 1972, have used the alternative spelling "Francene", especially on the various 45 releases both within and outside the United States. The song was actually written by Steve Perron and Kenny Cordray. They were not given credit for many years.

History
Francine was founded by Clayton Scoble, who previously performed with Til Tuesday and Aimee Mann, and was a member of Poundcake and Colortone. He assembled the group towards the end of 1997 and soon after self-released a few solo demo tapes. The newly formed band then released an EP and a full-length album on the Massachusetts indie label Q Division Records. A second album followed in 2003. The group received positive reviews but did not tour nationally behind the album. In 2006, the group released a third album, entitled Airshow.
The Francine song, "Albany Brownout", was used by Fox network's series The O.C. in January, on episode 3.11, "The Safe Harbor".
Francine is currently working on an as-yet-untitled fourth album.
Francine has appeared on various tribute recordings, including one to Kim Deal and one to the dBs.

by: Steve EarleGot a girl, her name's francine
Finest thing you ever seen
And I love her, she's all that I want
And I need her, she's all that I need
Well, francine, oh francine, why
Do you love me and make me cry?
How I love her, she's all that I want
How I need her, she's all that I need
If I ever caught her with stevie p
I'd throw her back in the penitentiary, now
And if I caught her with my mother's son
I'll call her daddy and get my gun
My fancine just turned thirteen
She's my angelic teenage queen
And I love her, she's all that I want
And I need her, she's all that I need
And I love her, she's all that I want
And I need her, she's all that I need
And I love her, she's all that I want
And I need her, she's all that I need
