His face was so pretty he had to cover it up during international tournaments.
Went a bit bonkers at the end.
But then don't we all?
Thanks for the wanks, Bobby!
Checkmate!

Jerry Leiber: 1933-2011
Of and Stoller fame.
Songwriter, communist, first man to write hit singles about bummery, for Elvis!, Red Bird Records - Home of The Shangri-las, Is That All There Is?
"But when I kissed a cop down on 34th and Vine,
he broke my little bottle of Love Potion Number Nine."
"Number 47 said to number 3;
'You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me.'"
This is my favourite Leiber & Stoller song.
Like many of Jerry's songs it was probably written as a piss-take of love song clichés, but what the hey.
