Naked Cowboy Heads to Leicester Square to Perform 'Ode to the Bagel'

The Naked Cowboy headed to Leicester Square to relaunch the New York Bakery Co.'s New York-inspired bagels and perform a special song he'd written for the event called 'Ode to the Bagel.' This performance marked the first time Robert Burck, a longtime Times Square street entertainer, had ever been to London.

The Naked Cowboy performed 'Ode to the Bagel' across London over three days, taking in the sites from Piccadilly Circus to Oxford Street. The three days culminated in a one-off performance at King's Cross St Pancras, where the musician got commuters in a New York state of mind.
