[discussing singing "Crapa Pelada" on Breaking Bad and his character, Gale Boetticher] The lyrics [of this song] are insane," says Costabile, whose Italian heritage and basic "restaurant Italian" helped seal the accent. The jazzy, scatty "Crapa," because of its demonically fast tempo, is also a bit of a tongue-twister. The lyrics tell a desperate story: "Crapa Pelada made an omelet and didn't give any to his brothers, oh-oh-oh." Ditto his brothers not sharing their omelet with Crapa. And there you have it. There was something so clear about how the song -- perfectly out-of-the-loop idiosyncratic -- fit that character, so it was very clear how it would go down," says Costabile, who shies away from calling his character prissy. "Gale is 'particular' about many things in the world and has varied tastes," he says, noting that Gale's apartment contains a pair of skis, a surf board and even a picture of him on Mt. Everest. "The physical world was fascinating to him and he wasn't going to be boxed in by anyone." Gale's singing "Crapa" pretty much nails that assessment. Hide
