Chris Rea he did have diarrhoea,
It was flowing like mud from his rear,
So he tightened his belt,
But with the pressure he felt,
He'd be living the rest of his life in great fear.

Chris Rea fancied bringing out a hard rock record, but fearing a backlash from his traditional fans came up with a new persona, he bought a wig from a King Charles II impersonator, some dark sunglasses from a shop on Redcar Promenade, then found his last item in an antiques shop on Guisborough Market, a top hat, just like the baddy in his favourite James Bond film, Baron Samedi, in Live & Let Die, so his new creation Slash came to life, the rest is history
