Bugsy Malone? I haven't heard of this story for so long! Yeah, Bugsy Malone! I'll tell you the real story right here on the boards: There was this kid I grew up with -- he was younger than me. Sorta looked up to me -- you know. We did our first work together -- worked our way out of the street. Things were good, we made the most of it. During Prohibition -- we ran custard into Chicago -- made a fortune. As much as anyone, I loved him -- and trusted him. Later on he had an idea -- to build a speakeasy out of a stop-over for GI's on the way to the local bar. That kid's name was Bugsy Malone -- and the Speakeasy he invented was Fat Sam's Grandstand. This was a great kid -- a kid with vision and guts. And there isn't even a plaque -- or a signpost -- or a statue of him in that town! Someone put a custard cream splurge through his eye. No one knows who gave the order -- when I heard it, I wasn't angry; I knew Bugsy -- I knew he was head-strong, talking loud, saying stupid things. So when he turned up dead -- I let it go. And I said to myself, this is the business we've chosen -- I didn't ask who gave the order -- because it had nothing to do with business!

I remember watching that movie growing up.
"We could of been anything that we wanted to be,
But don't it make your heart glad,
That we decided a fact we take pride in,
To become the best at being bad"
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

"We could of been anything that we wanted to be,
But don't it make your heart glad,
That we decided a fact we take pride in,
To become the best at being bad" My favorite song from that movie was Down and Out Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down and out
You don't have to sit around
Complaining 'bout the way your life has wound up
Think of all the time you waste
And time's a precious thing to let go by
Sure you've hit the bottom
But remember you'll be building from the ground up
Ev'ry day's another step
That takes you even closer to the sky, so give a trySome of the singing voices that they matched to the actors was just hilarious! It's a fun movie. Haven't seen it in years and years.
