The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (original title, Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo) is a tribute to the band's love of the spaghetti Western, director Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood films in general. The Official FAQ claims that John says "blondie you're a no good son of a bitch" - the last line of the actual movie ("Do you know what you are? You're a dirty son of a bitch!"). "Blondie" is the nickname for Clint Eastwood's character in the movie, aka "The Man With No Name". This song also echoes its movie counterpart in another way: the movie contains no dialogue for almost eleven minutes at the beginning.
