 		[TRIVIA/SPEC] "L. Brown" an allusion?
"Lucy Brown" (and "Lionel Brown", but mostly Lucy Brown) has been nagging at me since I started following LCP, because I could've sworn I'd heard it somewhere before. A song, a story, something like that...

I finally figured out what I was thinking of. I think. I'm pretty sure this is TRIVIA at best, but y'never know... Smile

Quote:
"Bad, Bad Leroy Brown"

Woah!

Well 'ole south side of Chicago
Is 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
You see he stand about six foot four
All those downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"
All the mens just call him "Sir"

And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Now Leroy he a gambler
And he like his fancy clothes
And he like to wear his diamond rings
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

And he's bad (bad) bad (bad) Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Well Friday 'bout a week ago
Leroy shootin' dice
And at the edge of the bar
Sat a girl named Doris
And oo that girl looked nice

Well he cast his eyes upon her
And the trouble soon began
And Leroy Brown had learned a lesson 'bout a-messin'
With the wife of a jealous man

And he's bad (bad) bad (bad) Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Well the two men took to fighting
And when they pulled them from the floor
Leroy looked like a jigsaw puzzle
With a couple of pieces gone

And it's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

And he's bad (bad) bad (bad) Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

Yeah he was badder than a-old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog.

 		Lucy Brown is also a character in "Threepenny Opera"

It's in that song, "Mack the Knife"...but I don't know if it means anything. I tried to look up what "Lucy Brown" means in cards, but no luck.

 		...I've listened to Mack the Knife more times than I can count and I still forgot about that one. *laughs* Good call!

*hums* Oh the shark has, pretty teeth dear, and he keeps them, pearly white; just a jack-knife, has MacHeath dear, and he keeps it, out of sight...
