Fun Lovin' Criminals - The King Of New York (Official Video)

Lyrics:
Frankie was a mook from the block we used to live on
The wanna be the gangster
The wanna be the dapper Don, Don John
On the wall, an' said
"I'm your biggest fan next to my little brother Paul"
He's losing his grip, like Pesci, he'd flip
If you talk to his brother he says they always planned this trip
He wasn't okie-dokie running around like Don Quixote
Trying to free a man, he didn't even know B
He had the roots and he bought the suits
And the boys didn't like him to tell you the truth, yeah
He had "J.G." on his pinky ring
And he lied about doing some time up in Sing Sing
Flipped one fine Summer afternoon
He told his brother Pauli, "something had to be done soon"
He took Pauli and a couple of boys
And decked the Coupe de Ville to Illinois
La-di da-di, free John Gotti, la-di da-di, la-di
La-di da-di, free John Gotti, the King of New York, the King of New York!
La-di da-di, free John Gotti, la-di da-di, la-di
La-di da-di, free John Gotti, the King of New York, the King of New York!
He got a clipper from a stripper, he met at a club
Two sticks of dynamite, a .38 Snub
He went to see the Don, without an invitation
I-said-I'd-stay[?] outside the gate with this three man demonstration
They was waving picket signs, and the C.O. saw a nine
And only Pauli got away with the skin on his behind
Back in the borough, the cops are acting thorough
They raided Frankie's room
That's when they saw his bureau (echo)
Upon it was a note, with a rhyme that was dope
About how he was breaking John out and how he couldn't cope
It said, "I don't fly coach, never save the roach...
The King of New York, The King of New York"
It said, "I don't fly coach, never save the roach...
The King of New York, The King of New York"
It said, "I never fly coach, never save the roach...
The King of New York, The King of New York"
La-di da-di, free John Gotti, la-di da-di, la-di
La-di da-di, free John Gotti, the King of New York man, the King of New York!
La-di da-di, free John Gotti, la-di da-di, la-di
La-di da-di, free John Gotti, the King of New York man, the King of New York!
La-di da-di, free John Gotti, la-di da-di, la-di
La-di da-di, free John Gotti, the King of New York man, the King of New York!
La-di da-di, free John Gotti, la-di da-di, la-di
La-di da-di, free John Gotti, the King of New York man, the King of New York!
The King of New York!!

Billions brought me here. Chuck hustling for favors in NY to this 😄

[@benagaran20]

He was so happy when he finally could trade in his park anywhere permit.

[@julep1971]

Me too! How brilliantly apt was that music in the first episode of Season 4???? #tight

[@ajaxcastle9400]

The best you can hope for is one last look at the stars before you go!

[@danielniedziaek1029]

Wonderful stylish funny ending of episode one in Gotti - Castellano hitting.

[@TerriblePerfection]

Me too. Just in time, I badly need some new music.

[@mediacenterman8583]

0:22 Billions 4x01 Chuck looking for the power hook-up.

[@amy0077]

👏👏🔊🔊

[@tomg3245]

Billions just getting better, shows on another level now

[@StFrannn]

That line, La di da di free John Gotti, has popped up in my head sooo many times since that song was released. 😅

[@mglaser6811]

Greatest 90 stuff...this album was some of the best things to happen this time...I listen to their music since a lot of years...everything schmoooove... 👍👍👍

[@user-dt6tr2rt5d]

and everything cool ;)

[@htvtc21]

2024... rewatching Billions and it brought me back here. Chuck's a true hustler 😂

[@NZMuzz]

Ha same

[@gregoryrussell3221]

Billions is a breath of fresh air. I love the way that they drop so many references to movies and songs & different analogies. Great acting sweet writing.

[@musopaul5407]

Not anymore, but it was great when they used this track!

[@dhaqabk4022]

@@musopaul5407 came to say this. Wokism and too much gynocentrism has ruined it.

[@kevinoconnor4102]

Saw them perform three times and can honestly say that in every performance they gave their all.

[@Casval09]

Every time I got a heavy ass tasks I will listen to this song and pretend like I am Chuck Rhoades 😂

[@anthonyomisorecanfixit]

I'm do the same

[@BerSeben0502]

Billions brought me here to a new musical crush, just like they did it with Lucy Dacus, Car Seat Headrest and Garret T. Capps.

[@armelleh.c.9854]

Billions! Brilliant show! Chuck pimping his free parking pass like a kid trying to trade his last peice of bubble gum for a prized marble. Hilarious!

[@brahsumatra]

Chuck Rhoades brought me here.

[@fergaoneill5323]

One of the best bands in the world

[@RandyZ1967]

Who has watched this 50x?

[@michaelphosa2564]

Listening to this ,I feel the same way Chuck felt when he managed to get someone who needed that park anywhere ticket

[@Ellen-il6dk]

Haha! Yesss!

[@gaz2276]

I used to listen to the album with a bunch of friends, teaching a couple of them to play guitar in a haze of booze, pills n weed. Great memories. I don't sit in sesh houses anymore but some of my best memories are there. Such a great band. They had some outstanding songs. Would love to hear Faith No More cover a few of their tracks.

[@stevencusworth7219]

Just gonna say this bands rocks..also TINA TURNER.🙏😭😇

[@Sarvusify]

My class teacher back in tge 6th grade gave a copy of this album He showed me what cool music should sound like

[@janisgay5507]

Cool teacher, plus you were the coolest then as you would be for a long while. Puberty hadn't hit yet.8

[@jussitikkuri6991]

"Don't fly coach & never save the roach"... Lyrics to live by.

[@brutalpancho]

When I first moved from Sydney to Melbourne in the early 2000s, I somehow got on the guest-list (like I do) for The Fun Lovin Criminals at the Prince of Wales hotel just around the corner from my new apartment. The singer got up on stage in front of me and said with a thick New York accent that he had a few drinks but he wasn't blind drunk like the time he got back home after a big night so drunk that he "started blowin' chunks"... the crowd was like 'so what?' - and then he replied... nah you don't understand... CHUNKS IS MY DOG! hahaha

[@nathanielavoures1596]

I love New York

[@chrisjewett7141]

Love these guys...so original

[@ansov8133]

Oh I remeber them during 90's. they're very popular in Europe

[@thebaddog4104]

They're popular with the criminal element too lol Loddy Doddy

[@phoenixfireplusproductions]

If De Niro did music, this is what it would look and sound like. Fun Lovin Criminals kick ass.

[@Lilithdammit]

Or Walken. Who starred in "King of New York" Ok, any of them.

[@MrScoop156]

Thank you Billions for leading me to learn about Fun Lovin’ Criminals! I think that they are awesome!

[@roryackard762]

Been trying to figure out this song for years before billons. Everyone thought I was crazy until they heard it on the show. LOL

[@TariusShinobi]

Billions 4x1: Chuck was on that Mad Hustle!

[@amy0077]

Pushing the parking pass like a Pimp. 🗽💣👑

[@sorivarola]

What´s a hustle? English is not my first language.

[@Anthony-tp6fm]

[@QDanielQHuteraQ]

[@ushireborn]

I never watched "Billions" but I remember when this song came out and it was generally accompanied with laughter.
