Anthony Bourdain Raps About Lisa

Last week a music video for a song entitled “Lisa” hit YouTube. Surprisingly, “Lisa” is a collaboration between Anthony Bourdain and the English band Morcheeba in which Tony “raps” over one of Morcheeba’s songs. It’s really more “spoken word” than it is “rapping,” with Bourdain reading a short story he wrote about a chef named Lisa and a typical night for her working in a restaurant’s kitchen. I wasn’t sure what the deal with song was until I finally watched this week’s episode of No Reservations.


In this week's episode Tony headed to London and Edinburgh and gave the song “Lisa” its national television debut. Not only that, but Bourdain headed into the studio again with Morcheeba to record a brand new song, “Get Carter.”

Only a few brief seconds of the music video for “Lisa” played in this week’s episode, so if you’d like to watch the song in its entirety I’ve included the YouTube video below. For the Bourdainians out there who loved the song and need to add it to their iPods, I’ve also included a link to the MP3 of "Lisa," courtesy of the Travel Channel. There's also been a music video created for Morcheeba and Bourdain’s new song “Get Carter,” which can only be seen here.
