the original rock 'n' wrestling connection


I want to tell you a story
about a place you don't wanna be.
This ain't no home sweet home,
it's a home sweet misery.
We knew when we got here
they'd try to put us away.
But when they seen us walk down
the street they ran the other way.

Badstreet, Atlanta, GA
Baddest street in the whole USA
Badstreet nasty and hot
The further down the block you went, the badder it got.

Street is a jumping,
tonight there'll be a brawl.
Old Lady McDuffie she done
give the cops a call.
She might as well call the Army or
the United States Marines,
'cause can't nobody handle this
Badstreet scene.

Badstreet, Atlanta, GA
Baddest street in the whole USA
Badstreet nasty and hot
The further down the block you went the badder it got.

17 punks came calling and
they thought that they were hot.
They thought that they were nasty
and could make it down on our block.
But I'll never forget hearing that
ambulance driver say,
"Someone should have told those
boys 'bout Badstreet USA."

So don't you come looking.
on this side of town.
'Cause this is where the Freebirds
live and everything's going down.
If you don't know by now,
we always get our way.
That's the way it is down
here on Badstreet USA.

Badstreet, Atlanta, GA
Baddest street in the whole USA
Badstreet nasty and hot
The further down the block you went the badder it got.

Badstreet, Atlanta, GA
Baddest street in the whole USA
Badstreet nasty and hot
The further down the block you went the badder it got.

We live in the last house on the right. Badstreet baby, anytime!

    Hell yes! Haven't seen that in forever.

    I like watching old WCCW stuff with The Freebirds. People HATED them when they were feuding with the Von Erichs. Of course, this only makes them ten times more legendary in my eyes. Heels FTW!

    Terry Gordy and Michael Hayes ruled... (plus Gordy with Steve Williams was a world class team as well!)

    ... Buddy Roberts and Jimmy Garvin, not so much, but they certainly had their moments...

  4. Jim: I don't *like* Buddy Roberts but I totally respect his ability to make me hate his guts. I put him in the same category as Tully Blanchard and Sean Waltman before he seemed to buy his own hype: nasty little sons of bitches that can really incense a crowd and get a huge pop when they get their comeuppance.

  5. Never followed wrestling...too damned "hokey" (yeah I know that's a feature...) Funny video though..did they actually play their own instruments? FWIW I'd support the use of condemned criminals in Gladitorial Events. I'd never let them achieve freedom but I'd allow them all sorts of creature comforts for bashing each others brains out on PayPerView...Politicians too for that matter...
