Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon. Right click here and you can open the song lyrics and audio in a new tab or window.
Can we say one-hit wonder? And how did this even become a hit? Yeah, ok, it's kinda catchy when he does the howling part, but really? Top 40?
There's nothing deep and meaningful here gang. What I took from this one was that if you see a hairy, hairy gent, especially around your kitchen door, you better not let him in! And evidently at least some werewolves have perfect hair. High standards in the world of half-human night prowlers I suppose.
I also take heart in the fact that if this guy can go top 40, then a lot of us have hope! Of course I could say that for many artists this day and time. I guess Andy Worhol got it right in the 60's when he said "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." At any rate...keep your dreams of stardom alive and keep a gun with a silver bullet nearby...just in case. ;)
