Streets Of Fire Soundtrack, 1987
Written by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller, 1954
An entry into the list of "big bad guy" songs that were popular in the early days of rock 'n' roll. This guy has big muscles and looks like a bear. He likes his rock 'n' rye. And, of course, "the girls all love him like a schoolboy loves his pie." And, unlike in, say "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," this bad stud gets no comeuppance. In fact, he convinces the poor narrator's girl to come bail him out of jail. The Blasters rattle through this one as straight rockabilly, updating the sound but not really adding anything extra.
