(1982)
"Stool Pigeon" is a 1982 song by Kid Creole & The Coconuts. It was the 2nd single to be released from their album Tropical Gangsters. It reached a peak of 8 on the UK Singles Chart & 25 on the US Club Play Chart. August Darnell, the lead singer of Kid Creole & The Coconuts, was a great fan of the 1940s dress style, which for gangsters was double breasted pinstriped suits and hats. Stool Pigeon, which Darnell wrote, was a tribute to this whole genre.
