Warren Zevon - Werewolves Of London


I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walkin' through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was lookin' for the place called Lee Ho Fooks
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein

Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Aaahoo!
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Aaahoo!

Ya hear him howlin' around your kitchen door
Ya better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again

Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Aaahoo!
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Aaahoo!

He's the hairy, hairy gent, who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out Jim
Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor

Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Aaahoo!
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Aaahoo!

Well, I saw Lon Chaney walkin' with the queen
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walkin' with the queen
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin' a pina colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect

Aaahoo! Werewolves of London
Draw blood
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London

America - Horse With No Name

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love


You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la

I’m bouncing all over the thread picking songs to play and it’s Year of the Cat time now. :-)

Had the pleasure of seeing him when he did the tour for the album, then saw him twice in the ‘80s. Was mesmerized every time.

What’s the reason...
Grapes in season...
Who drinks the most...
Us colored folks...

As heard on WBOK, a Black radio station in New Orleans in the late 50s.

I didn’t see it in this thread.

The lion sleeps tonight - Tokens

[radu]

Was wondering where you were.
Better fasten your seatbelt ‘cause you’ll need it to keep up tonight. LOTS of kick-butt music to listen to!

[radu]

I expected you to make a stealth move on it. LOL!!!!

[PROCON]

Evening LUV!

Sheesh, I've been politicked out for awhile now :-)

And my blood pressure is down too :-)

[Fiji Hill]

Here's a mean harpsichord:

Love Me to Pieces--Jill Corey (1957)

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

Hey! What is a girl like you doing in a nice place like this?

OOPS!

I mean.....What is a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?

**snicker**

[cornelis]

LRB: Curiosity (Killed the Cat)

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

BOOM!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Memory lane, Publius, memory lane.

[Publius]

From "Dumbo:"

"Pink Elephants on Parade"

"When I See an Elephant Fly" (This one is considered racist today.)

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

AH - HA - HA - HA - HA - HA!

[Publius]

And the song was actually about marijuana.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Michael Martin Murphey!!

[radu]

Maybe that’s why my blood pressure isn’t up tonight. Gone all day and didn’t see any news. Came straight to the Canteen when I hit FR and haven’t read other threads. No politics today!

[ConservativeStatement]

Ha! Although, I could have chosen songs by Ted Nugent, the Beatles and Adam and the Ants among others.

[PROCON]

Good job....FINALLY! :-)

[HandyDandy]

Baa Baa Black Sheep
Teddy Bears Picnic

[yarddog]

When “Tie Me Kangaroo Down” came out, I thought it was the funniest song I had ever heard.

It still may be.
