    Definitions

    The stereotypical "bad boy" was described by Kristina Grish in her book Addickted as "the irresistible rogue who has the dizzying ability to drive women wild" with a "laissez-faire attitude about life and love".

    An article in The Independent compared the term "bad boys" with men who had a particular combination of personality traits, sometimes referred to as a "dark triad", and reported that a study found that such men were likely to have a greater number of sexual affairs.

    Bad Boy (Larry Williams song)

    "Bad Boy" is a song composed and recorded by Larry Williams. The song was recorded at Radio Recorders in Hollywood, California on August 14, 1958. The musicians on the recording included Williams on vocals and piano, Earl Palmer on drums, René Hall on guitar, Jewell Grant on baritone sax, Plas Johnson on tenor sax, and Ted Brinson on bass. The record did not break the Top 40 charts in the United States.

    "She Said Yeah" was originally the B-side of the Larry Williams single, and has been covered by the Rolling Stones and the Animals, amongst others. The Beatles loved the song and almost certainly performed it on stage and fully intended to record it. Paul McCartney in the liner notes to his album Run Devil Run said "Me and John [Lennon] particularly loved Larry Williams...Bony Moronie...John did Slow Down...I was always going to do She Said Yeah". Roy Young (who was invited to join The Beatles) recorded a cover version in 1959. Paul McCartney finally recorded it in 1999.

    Bad Boy

    by: Ringo Starr

    I'm just a bad boy
    All dressed up in fancy clothes
    I'm taking the trouble
    To blow my bubbles away
    Bad boy
    Life is just a bowl of cherries
    I'm taking the trouble
    To turn my night into day
    The hot blazing sun
    Won't hurt my head
    'Cause you'll always find me
    Right there in the shade
    I can see all the folks
    They're laughing at me
    'Cause I'm just a naturally, crazy, lazy
    Bad boy
    Life is just a bowl of cherries
    I'm taking the trouble
    To turn my night into day
    The hot blazing sun
    Won't hurt my head
    'Cause you'll always find me
    Right there in the shade
    I can see all you folks
    You're laughing at me
    'Cause I'm just a naturally, crazy, lazy
    Bad boy
    All dressed up in these fancy clothes
    And I'm taking the trouble
    To blow my bubbles away
