Werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's Going to get himself a big dish of beef chow mein Werewolves of London If you hear him howling around your kitchen door Better not let him in Little old lady got mutilated late last night Werewolves of London again Werewolves of London He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair Better stay away from him He'll rip your lungs out, Jim I'd like to meet his tailor Werewolves of London Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen Doing the Werewolves of London I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen Doing the Werewolves of London I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's His hair was perfect Werewolves of London Draw blood Warren Zevon Peace, pf |

Re: Werewolves of London
Wow!
Very good. I thought that I might be the only one old enough to remember that song. I was in college back then Now I just can't remember the name of the album... |

Re: Werewolves of London
I always loved the line, "I'd like to meet his tailor" Warren Zevon played a free concert at my college and only a handfull of people showed up. He deserved a lot more recognition than he got. Even though this was expected, it is sad news. |

Accidentally Like A Martyr
We made mad love
Shadow love Random love And abandoned love Accidentally like a martyr The hurt gets worse and the heart gets harder |

Chris Berman on ESPN remembers. Of all his goofy nicknames for players, my favorite was (Yankee utility infielder) Luis Sojo "in the rain"

Re: I Was Gambling in Havana....
I remember when I was first getting into 'classic' rock and I was discovering my dad's vinyl collection. Zevon's "Excitable Boy" absolutely blew me away, alas, I never followed up on his music.
I've heard that his most recent album is every bit as good. Can somebody give me some guidance on filling in the blanks and refer me to some of his other discs? Dan |

Re: Werewolves of London
Zevon made a really great cameo on the Larry Sanders show. He was bitching to Artie, the producer, about how Larry never let him play any new stuff, he always made him play Werewolves of London, and he was SICK of playing Werewolves of London. So Artie assures him he can play anything he wants. So he does. Then of course Larry says, "Hey, Warren how 'bout that song Werewolves of London? I love that song? How 'bout you guys (to the audience), do you want to hear Werewolves of London?" Everybody cheers, so of course Warren plays it, but he gives a look of pure, unadulterated hatred that was just priceless. I laughed and laughed....
He was one of a kind. Well, him and Randy Newman, but Warren was darker. 'hoof |
