Regina Spektor – The Soup Lyrics 18 years ago
I know for a fact this is about Bugsy Siegel. The second I heard that name, I knew. He was a famous gangster in New York and California. This song is about a heist him, Mickey Cohen (a well known Jewish gang boss), and from what I can find online, one of his 4 mistresses Mary were planning. (I couldn't find a Buster, though I'm pretty sure it was a popular nickname of the time)
Amazing song.
