10. “Badge” - Cream
“Badge” was written by Clapton and George Harrison as Clapton’s contribution to the final Cream album, Goodbye. The song went through most of its creation untitled, until Clapton, misreading Harrison’s writing of the word “bridge” on the lyrics sheet gave it its name. Harrison is quoted as having said,
“I helped Eric write Badge you know. Each of them had to come up with a song for that Goodbye Cream album and Eric didn't have his written. We were working across from each other and I was writing the lyrics down and we came to the middle part so I wrote Bridge. Eric read it upside down and cracked up laughing - 'What's BADGE?' he said. After that, Ringo walked in drunk and gave us that line about the swans living in the park.”
This is a live performance of “Badge” by Clapton, in Hyde Park, March 26, 2008.
