Werewolves of London

October 20, 2007 in Humor, Music by Mardé | 11 comments

I just discovered a phenom called Warren Zevon. Where have you been old guy? Hey, I was born before the Great Depression, what do ya expect? But I digress. Watch the video!

Here’s what got me started on Warren Zevon: “You can dream the American Dream, but you sleep with the lights on and wake up with a scream.”
Way to go, Warren!

aaHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
screamed the Werewolf.

    How wonderful to hear this song. I remember him on the David Letterman Show and perhaps saw his last performance there as I think he died shortly after. He sang a song about not being there, Keep Me in Your Heart for Awhile, voice showed his illness but brought tears to ALL. Gram

    Thanks, Gram, for cluing me in. I had no idea. Your comment made me look him up and Wikipedia has a great bio of him I think. Yes, I can imagine how sad it must have been to hear him do that song on the Dave Letterman Show. Thanks very much for your comment, Gram.

    Hey there Mard,
    I was born quite awhile after the Great Depression, but I don’t know Zevon ! Although while reading his bio, I probably listened to some of his compositions for other artists.
    That is sad about his cancer :sad: Those cancers due to exposure to asbestos can be really mean. We had a neighbor who died of this.

    Thanks for sharing this; it was some great music for a Sunday morning !
    Take care.

    Well, thanks, Barb, I guess I’m not the only one that didn’t know Warren Zevon. Actually, having been born just before the Great Depression, I should have at least heard of him. I’ve had plenty of time! :wink: :roll:

    Yes, it is sad about his cancer. He was much too young to have expired. But many people are no doubt keeping him in their hearts for awhile, a long while.

    Yes, it’s great wake up music for a Sunday morning! :grin:

    Such a blast from the not so long past. Thank-you for sharing this wonderful video. It gave me an opportunity to view more Warren Zevon videos on youtube. A fun way to start Sunday.

    Glad you liked the video, Kat. Yes, it is a blast from the not so long past. I was thinking of looking for more Warren Zevon videos, too. Glad to know there are more on YouTube. Thanks!

    Hey Dad you’ll have to come over and listen to my Warren Zevon record “Excitable Boy.” I’ve listened to it two times in a row. It’s that good. :wink:

    OK, thanks Kate. I’ll have to do that. Sounds great! My education is expanding.

    Without doubt this one of the best songs ever. I love that bit about the perfect hair. I loved this song so much that when I was in London I made a pilgrimage to Lee Ho Fook’s-though I did not find Chow Mein on the menu.
