this song, Werewolves of London, is one of perhapse two or three popular werewolf-oriented songs that comes to a normal person's mind (if, indeed, normal people think about werewolf songs at all...? i guess i wouldn't know). it was originally by warren zevon. it is a rarity that i approve of remakes of an original song, but the greatful dead's version of Werewolves of London was pretty dang good. ok, so without furter ado, i give you: 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
gonna get a big dish of chow mein
aaoooooo!
werewolves of london!
aaoooooo!
if you hear him howling around your kitchen door
better not let him in
little old lady got mutilated last night
werewolves of london again
aaoooooo!
werewolves of london!
aaoooooo!
he's the hair-handed gent who ran amok 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
aaooooo!
werewolves of london!
aaooooo!
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
and his hair was perfect!
aaooooooo!
werewolves of london!
aaooooooo!
draw blood.
okay, hope you liked the first song of the werewolf album, and thank you, semaj, for your suggestion. i forgot about that one, so it'll be added to the list!
happy Were-tober, everybody!
