Reminds me a bit of Zappa.

 I wasn't either, but I LOVE Warren! Good parenting, I guess? Either way, high five. {#Wink}

Meanwhile, I think it's time to trot out a lot more of Zevon's music. If not here at RP, then at least in my own CD player.  Miss you, Warren.{#Notworthy}

I have to laugh at all the haters who think the lyrics are disgusting and/or disturbing.  Of COURSE they are!  That's what makes this song so great - that happy, bouncy tune, accompanied by some of the darkest, most twisted concepts ever conjured up by a human being. (And yes, he really did rub a pot roast on his chest - it was at his mom's house, and he did it to demonstrate how delicious he thought it was, because in his opinion, words couldn't do it justice.)

When I think of the word "zeal," I think of Warren Zevon and the way he lived his life.  He truly did "enjoy every sandwich."{#Roflol}

Amusing once or twice. Just garbage after that. Zevon repeats lyrics like a parakeet chirps.

Damn, I loved Warren!

We will not see his like again.

Wherever you are and whatever you're doing Mr. Zevon, I just listened to a bit of your genius and smiled.

See you down the road, compadre. {#Cowboy}

Too bad Mr. Zevon and I never shared a few beers.  How his brain must have worked!  That would have been an interesting conversation.

This album is one of my all time favorites. I wore my 33" out and finally bought the cd last week. It's all I've listened to since - eccept RP of course.

I saw him in concert three times, two of which were one-man shows.  Those were three of the five best performances I've ever seen.

HOLY CRAP.  I was just looking up this album for completely different reasons (just *before* this song started) and then I realize it is on.

I guess I'll have to start worshiping Warren Zevon.  Too bad he's dead.

When I was a teenager, I loved his music so much, I wanted to run off and marry him.  Then I realized my name would be 'Yvonne Zevon'.
That was the end of that.

Cool segue from Wilco's 'Wilco (The Song)', which has the same rhythmic pattern as 'Werewolves of London', from this same album. Subtle dj'ing, dude!

This song is also on his excellent live album "Stand In The Fire". In the live venue Zevon welds a sharper, harder edge to his studio songs. Highly recommended.

The days slide by
Should have done, should have done, we all sigh
Never thought I'd ever be so lonely
After such a long, long time
Time out of mind

Agreed!  some similarities in lyrical styles.  Love all 3.

There is somewhat of a link between Harry Neilson, Randy Newman and Zevon that I really enjoy.

To me Warren Zevon was "gonzo" in the sense that Hunter Thompson was if you know what I mean.

The baseline sounds like Werewolves of London
Am I nuts? Anyone know if theres overlaping history between the songs?
