"Big Bad John" is a country song originally performed by Jimmy Dean, who wrote and composed it.
It was released in September 1961 and by the beginning of November it had gone to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It won Dean the 1962 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording, and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Song of the Year.
The song and its sequels tell a story typical of American folklore, reminiscent of Paul Bunyan or John Henry. Big Bad John was also the title of a 1990 television movie starring Dean.
In the US, "Big Bad John" spent five weeks at number 1 on the pop chart, two weeks on the country chart, and nine weeks on the Easy Listening chart. It was also a number 2 hit in the United Kingdom.
The song received a Grammy nomination for Record of the Year, while Dean's performance earned him a nomination for Best Male Solo Vocal Performance, and Dean won Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording.
Dean's LP Big Bad John and Other Fabulous Songs and Tales, where the song first appeared, reached number 23 in the pop charts. It was the B-side of "I Won't Go Huntin' with You Jake", but it ended up becoming much more popular than the latter.
The song frequently ranks as one of the best country songs of the 1960s, and of all time.
Nikki Sixx, of Mötley Crüe, has stated that "Big Bad John" was one of the songs he heard growing up that influenced him the most, along with "Helter Skelter" by the Beatles.
"Big Bad John" was translated into Hebrew by Israeli lyricist Ehud Manor, under the title "John Biryon" (lit. "Strongman John"), as part of the 1982 Israeli television show "Red River Valley" dedicated to Manor's translations of famous country songs. Performed by Israeli singer and radio personality Dory Ben Ze'ev, it became a hit in Israel.
