Lyrics:
(Who-oo-oo-oo is Mr Brown?)
Mr Brown is a clown who rides through town in
a coffin
(Where he be found?)
In the coffin where there is
Three crows on top and two is laughing
Oh, what a confusion! Ooh, yeah, yeah!
What a botheration! Ooh, now, now!
Who is Mr Brown? I wanna know now!
He is nowhere to be found
From Mandeville to Slygoville, coffin runnin'
around,
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
Asking for Mr Brown
From Mandeville to Slygoville, coffin runnin'
around,
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
Asking for Mr Brown
I wanna know who (is Mr Brown)?
Is Mr Brown controlled by remote?
O-o-oh, calling duppy conqueror,
I'm the ghost-catcher!
This is your chance, oh big, big Bill
bull-bucka,
Take your chance! Prove yourself! Oh, yeah!
Down in parade
People runnin like a masquerade
The police make a raid,
But the - oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The thing get fade
What a thing in town
Crows chauffeur-driven around,
Skankin' as if they had never known
The man they call "Mr Brown"
I can't tell you where he's from now
From Mandeville to Slygoville, coffin runnin'
around,
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
Asking for Mr Brown
From Mandeville to Slygoville

Too Funky 2 ignore:
by Jason Ankeny
A longtime fixture of the New York City
session circuit, guitarist Hiram Bullock
proved himself equally adept in spheres
spanning from rock and roll to jazz to the
avant garde--he also cut a series of solo LPs
exploring funk and fusion, but perhaps
remains best remembered as a founding member
of the original Late Night with David
Letterman house band. Born September 11, 1955
in Osaka, Japan to parents serving in the
U.S. military, Bullock grew up in Baltimore,
where he studied piano at the Peabody
Conservatory of Music and played his first
recital at the age of six. As a teen he also
mastered saxophone and bass before embracing
guitar at age 16--as a music major at the
University of Miami, he studied jazz
alongside guitarist Pat Metheny and bassist
Jaco Pastorius, and supported himself by
gigging at South Beach nightclubs. After
dates in support of singer Phyllis Hyman, the
singer brought him with her to New York City,
and he quickly emerged as a cause célèbre
among the Manhattan jazz cognoscenti, earning
attention for both his virtuoso technique as
well as a flair for showmanship rooted in the
larger-than-life traditions of rock,
exemplified by his penchant for wandering
deep into the crowd during solos. Stints with
saxophonist David Sanborn and the Brecker
Brothers further elevated Bullock's profile,
and from there he co-founded the fusion unit
the 24th Street Band with keyboardist
Clifford Carter, bassist Mark Egan and
drummer Steve Jordan. The group recorded
three LPs for Columbia, with bassist Will Lee
replacing Egan around the time of 1980's
Share Your Dreams, produced by keyboardist
Paul Shaffer, then the musical director for
NBC's popular sketch comedy showcase Saturday
Night Live. Although the 24th Street Band
proved quite popular among Japanese
audiences, at home Bullock continued earning
his living as a first-call sideman--in
addition to jazz sessions in support of
Sanborn, Idris Muhammad and Bob James, his
discography includes some of the most
exquisitely produced pop records of the
period, chief among them Billy Joel's The
Stranger and Steely Dan's Aja. When Shaffer
was named musical director of NBC's fledgling
talk show Late Night with David Letterman in
1982, he hired Bullock, Lee and Jordan to
round out the house band--regularly taking
the Letterman stage barefoot, Bullock enjoyed
the greatest public visibility of his career,
but as his drug use spiraled out of control
he earned a reputation for unreliability and
exited the show after two years. He rebounded
by touring in support of Carla Bley and Gil
Evans, and delivered his best-known solo on a
cover of the Jimi Hendrix classic "Little
Wing" recorded for Sting's Nothing Like the
Sun. In 1986 Bullock signed to Atlantic to
record From All Sides, the first in a series
of a dozen LPs issued under his
name--highlights of his catalog include the
funky Way Kool, Late Night Talk (a
collaboration with Hammond B-3 titan Lonnie
Smith) and the jazz-rock effort Try Livin'
It, featuring the self-penned "After the
Fall," which addressed his long battle with
substance abuse. Following the release of his
final studio effort, 2005's Too Funky 2
Ignore, Bullock was diagnosed with cancer but
made a full recovery, which he celebrated by
touring Japan as a member of the Miles Evans
Orchestra--upon returning to New York City he
once again succumbed to his demons, and after
one final crack binge he died on July 25,
2008 at the age of 52.
