Donning my asbestos suit now. Good thing I have a beer in my hand to put out thre flames!
I always loved “Hit Somebody,” “Leave My Monkey Alone” and “Lawyers Guns And Money.”
This is why I like Engelbert

How he could sing this with a straight face is beyond me.
lol - he was just an excitable boy they all said ...
People quote Lawyers, Guns and Money who don’t even know who Warren Zevon is, it slipped into popular vernacular.
There was an edge underneath the wackiness of that one. I got the impression he knew that “excitable boy.”
Me, too. “If You Know What I Mean” and “September Morn” got me...well...into teenhood.
But I think my all-time favorite is this guy (<--youtube link), especially when he met up in the final decade of his career with George Shearing. If you decide to click on it, be sure to listen to both songs in the clip.
And if you can find them together somewhere on the web doing "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square," go for it!
I know. Kind of sad. But, if it’s any consolation, people quote Beatles song every day as well.
I got the impression we all knew him ... ;o)
I was just musing on that very point. I think his voice had a characterstic that resonated with, umm, certain parts of distaff anatomy.
