After thinking about singing "Desperado" by The Eagles, Connor decided to sing "Famous Blue Raincoat" by Leonard Cohen. That's "Guantanamo-level shit," as Roman Roy phrased it.

Though Connor initially wanted to sing "Desperado" by The Eagles, he settled on "Famous Blue Raincoat" from Montreal legend Leonard Cohen. "Guantanamo-level shit," according to Roman Roy.
