"The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde" is a song, written by Mitch Murray and Peter Callander,[4] and recorded by the British rhythm and blues musician Georgie Fame.
[7] The song, in the style of the 1920s and 1930s, features the sounds of gun battles, car chases, and police sirens, including the climactic gun battle that takes place when both Bonnie and Clyde meet their end.
The instrumentation of the song includes a piano, banjo, drums, trumpets, trombones, and a bass.
[citation needed] The song is geographically inaccurate in that in the first verse they meet in Savannah, Georgia.
The song was also performed on French television in February 1968, by Johnny Hallyday and Sylvie Vartan.
