The Killing of Georgie is Karl Pilkington's favorite song. It was written and recorded by Rod Stewart, and first appeared on his 1976 album "A Night on the Town."

The song tells the story of a homosexual man who is killed in New York City by a homophobic gang. According to Karl, Georgie wouldn't have been killed if he hadn't been out so late. (Karl believes that "little gay fellas" stay out later than heterosexuals.)

Interestingly, Karl maintains that Georgie is Scottish even though there is no indication of this in the lyrics.

The song was featured in the segment "Songs With a Story."
