Bad, Bad Leroy Brown


I posted a Jim Croce song the other day - I've Got A Name - which is played to great effect in Quentin Tarantino's latest movie, 'Django Unchained'.

Well here's another memorable Jim Croce song - Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown - which must have pressed all the right buttons because Frank Sinatra covered it as well - although not with the same style and panache. 

Bad, Bad Leroy Brown

Well the south side of Chicago

It's the baddest part of town

And if you go down there, you better just beware

Of a man name of Leroy Brown


Now Leroy more than trouble

He stood about six feet four

All the downtown ladies call him: "treetop lover"

All the studs just call him Sir


He's bad (bad), bad (bad) Leroy Brown

baddest man in the whole damn town

Badder than old King Kong, and

Meaner than a junkyard dog


Now Leroy he a gambler

And he like his fancy clothes

He like to wave his diamond ring(s)

In front of everybody's nose


He got a custom Continental

He got a Eldorado too

He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun

He got a razor in his shoe


Yeah He's bad(bad), bad (bad) Leroy Brown

baddest man in the whole damn town

Badder that old King Kong

And Meaner that a junkyard dog


Well Friday - 'bout a week ago

Leroy's shootin' dice

And at the edge of the bar, sat a lady named Doris

and ooh she sure looked nice


Well he laid his eyes upon her

and the trouble soon began

And Leroy Brown he learned a lesson 'bout messin'

With the wife of a jealous man


Yeah He's bad (bad), bad(bad) Leroy Brown

baddest man in the whole damn town

Badder than old King Kong

And Meaner than a junkyard dog


He's bad (woo he's bad ), Leroy Brown

baddest man in the whole damn town

Badder than old King Kong

And Meaner than a junkyard dog

*ruff ruff*

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
