It seems like dead boyfriend/girlfriend is a common theme for songwriters. “Tell Laura I Love Her”, “Hello This is Joannie”, “Teen Angel”, but the best of it’s genre surely has to be “Leader of the Pack” by the Shangri-La’s.
The song has everything. Unsuitable boyfriend from the wrong side of town, disapproving parents, nosy girlfriends and a motor bike. Throw a rainy night into the mix and you have a recipe for disaster. Sorry Jimmy, but It’s not looking good for you.
Let’s jump to the video. All I have to say is if I was one of the friends, I’d be far more interested in knowing what the hell it is Betty has on her head, than if it’s Jimmy’s ring she’s wearing. But then again that’s just me.
