Warren Zevon: Werewolves of London (1978)


Despite a long and varied career, Warren Zevon is best known for "Werewolves of London." The song has a catchy up tempo hook while Zevon has lyrical fun. The werewolves both have tailors, dance with the queen, and drink pina colada's while at the same time mutilate old ladies and "rip your lungs out." Zevon gives a shout out to both Lon Chaneys and is accompanied on the record by John McVie and Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac. Kid Rock sampled the song for his own hit, "All Summer Long."
