The love life of Leroy Brown
Fish has above average love life
By J. Wes Yoder
Once Leroy was placed in his new home, the female bass immediately forsook their larger, more experienced mates for a rendezvous with Leroy Brown. Whereas a normal, large-mouth bass will spawn once or twice a season, Leroy once spawned eight times. Mann's daughter, Sharon, remembers the prowess of Leroy Brown.

The Leroy Brown Quarantine Center and Retirement Complex
Leroy is no longer able to cope with the other younger, more aggressive roosters. Therefore, after living in his juniper tree for 8 years he now has a new home. It is right next to his tree and he roosts outside in the pen. He's never been an inside bird.
Ok people. Leroy Brown was not a real person, Freddie uses it as an ALLUSION to the hip world of the Rat Pack, etc. As someone else mentioned, he is used in many songs as a symbol for life in that time.
