Bad Bad Leroy Brown (Performed by Ryan Kelly)
Well the South side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown
Now Leroy more than trouble
You see he stand about six foot four
All the downtown ladies call him Treetop Lover
All the men just call him Sir
CHORUS:
And he's bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog (2x)
Now Leroy he a gambler
And he likes his fancy clothes
And he likes to wave his diamond rings
In front of everybody's nose
He got a custom Continental
He got an El Dorado too
He got a 32 gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe
(CHORUS)
Now 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 learned a lesson
Bout messin' with the wife of a jealous man
(CHORUS)
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
(CHORUS)
Yes, he's badder than Old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog.

Have you joined your state's CT Street Team yet?
PBS replay
Local PBS stations are still playing the lads' show, so I got to watch it again today! I was glad to hear that Ryan liked BBLB even before he got to perform it; that's gotta make it so much more fun for him. I never liked that song 'til I saw Ryan's performance, and while his voice truly makes the song in ways no other artist has ever covered it, the choreography adds even more. "And the men just call him sir..." Oh, honey!
Wonder if he'd autograph his hat and send it to me?
This whole song is fantastic!
This whole song is fantastic! The dancers, the music, RYAN. Absolutely love this! Can't stop listening to it!

Agreed!
I agree totally. For me, this was one of the highlights of IE!
and What of the Six Canadians...
What a quality performance! Ryan in his element. Perfect blend - music, vocals, dress and dance. Everything precision. When I heard Ryan mention the 6 Canadian gents who shared the stage, As good as they were, I had the impression they performed together as an ensemble. They were credited individually however (as they should) - so does anyone know if they are individual artists brought together for this one performance or an established Canadian dance troupe?
They are individuals. All of
They are individuals. All of them finalists of the TV show "So You Think You Can Dance; Canada" They are credited individually in the program from Toronto.
I'll answer to Tangy.

Impressive
Quite impressive indeed. I wasn't aware Canada had it's own version of the show - Bad Bad Leroy Brown is nice showcase for these fellas - Celtic Thunder will continue to get much attention.

Winning Formula
A glimpse of Sharon doing it again perhaps - a taste of that winning formula. I do like the way she brings talent together - artists have the opportunity to shine individually and collectively - with music and song...or dance.
Bad, Bad Leroy Brown
WOW!!! I'm gonna say it too! This is a great song for Ryan - I love the whole thing - just hearing it on the CD is great, and seeing it in the DVD is even better...love the dancing too. Great number and Ryan is great.
WOW!!! that is all I'm gonna
WOW!!! that is all I'm gonna say
RYAN.....at his BEST
This is definitely my favourite Ryan song - he's right in his element with this one. Ryan worked so well with the dancers, I wonder if they will all be travelling with the tour. Can't wait to find out..............Casino Rama, here we come
Ryan is the BEST!!
Ryan was sooo great in BBLB!!!!!!! He is really in his element (thanks, i couldn't figure out how to describe it before) this songs is really his thing, the whole bad guy act. The back-up dancers just made it even better and added drama.
I LOVE RYAN!!!!!!
The dancers are absolutely
The dancers are absolutely awesome aren't they?!
I don't need easy, I just need possible.
I HAVE A THEORY THAT IF A PERSON CAN GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO SHOW KINDNESS TO ANOTHER IT WILL START A CHAIN REACTION OF THE SAME. [=#008000]PEOPLE WILL NEVER KNOW HOW FAR A LITTLE KI
Amen to that!
Amen to that!
7 hours, 4 bus rides, 3 hours standing in the snow, 2 trips to B&N, and 1 pair of leaky boots, but I did it!!!
Not even the Snow-pocalypse can keep me from Celtic Thunder!!!!!!

♥ It takes 1 lifetime to forget him♥
Ryan
I heard the non-Ryan version of this song on the radio the other day and it sounded all wrong! I recognized the words and the tune, but Ryan just makes this song so much better. Looking forward to hearing it on cd, and I can't wait for the DVD - for those of you who haven't seen it, Ryan is terrific in this!!
THIS. This is the song I am
THIS. This is the song I am looking forward to seeing again most of all! It was just INCREDIBLE!! RYAN!!!! <3
