You should do more Zevon but I’m biased cause I love all his music . He was great live .He was friends with David Letterman and when he was dying Letterman had him on , was so sad. The old poem Werewolves of London towne is well worth reading. The Lon Chaneys are refrencecto the great actors , Lon Chaney Jr played the werewolf

[@missbelled6700]

"enjoy every sandwich"... that could have been all he left us with and it would have been enough, I miss him a lot.

[@allisonyoung4007]

I played "Keep Me In Your Heart" on loop as a new widow a couple of yrs ago~ Its so beautiful-

[@mattshaw6180]

Bass and drums on this song are John McVie and Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac; hence, the tightness of the rhythm section. Zevon played with everybody.

[@autumnphillips151]

Wait, seriously?!? I’ve _loved_ this song for many years and never knew that! It is tight. I’ve never been able to find any other songs of Zevon’s that I like, though (granted, I haven’t listened to very many of them).

Thanks I've never heard this song,love Fleetwood Mac of course but,I thought the tune sounds like "sweet home Alabama" I wonder who did what First

[@Macilmoyle]

@@autumnphillips151 Waddy Wachtel who cowrote and coproduced this tells a great story about the recording of this. They tried pretty much every A-list session bassist and drummer in LA before they thought of McVie and Fleetwood. What followed was an all night recording session which only ended at about 7 in the morning when they opted for the second take they'd made at the beginning.

Warren Zevon is definitely one of the most underrated song writers of his era. This is a great one, but I really hope you get a chance to listen to more of his work. Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner, Detox Mansion, Excitable Boy, Mohammed’s Radio, Mr Bad Example, and Poor Poor Pitiful Me(more notably covered by Linda Ronstadt) are just a handful of the artist’s work.

"Exciteable Boy" is another great one by Zevon (pronounced "Zeevon"), but my all time favorite is his sad, mournful cover of Steve Winwood's "Back in the High Life," recorded not long after his terminal diagnosis. Gives me chills. Such a talented musician -- gone too soon.

Came here to say the same thing!

[@PaintedCavern]

"All Summer Long" is the title of a song recorded by Kid Rock. It was released in 2008 as the third single from his ninth studio album Rock N Roll Jesus. The song is based on Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama". The idea for the mashup was suggested by Mike E. Clark. The song was a Number One hit in eight countries across Europe and Australia, including the UK, and has even crossed over to country music radio, giving Kid Rock his first Top Ten country hit."

"You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim". Nuff said. I love we had so many weird songs, like this one, back in the day. Not Halloween themed, try Brand New Key by Melanie or Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road by Loudon Wainwright III. Home By the Sea (Genesis) is a sort of spirit/ghost song. Mama is a dark song by Phil Collins. You gotta check out that one for sure!

[@jeanhofvedvm7589]

Back in the day, on the tour for his first album, Warren was out-of-control crazy drunk. The record company sent Jackson Browne out to Denver to try to talk some sense into him. (I don't think it worked!) But geez, he was a lotta fun! Great musician, brilliant writer, with a wicked sense of humor. He hung out with Jackson Brown, JD Souther, Glen Frey and that gang, but never really got the recognition he deserved. One of my all time faves. I miss him a lot and still listen to his music all the time.

[@selkirk57]

March 18, 1978. 4am. Standing in line for Cal Jam 2. I had a boombox and it was blaring out this song. Everyone around us was howling right along with the song! Good times!

[@davidgross990]

This song was featured in both American Werewolf in London, and as a pool player it was also used in a scene from the color of money with Tom Cruise and Paul Newman where Tom Cruise is hustling pool and acting the fool with a pool cue.

[@ryansheehan9462]

Many people only know Warren for “Werewolves of London” but he has so much more to offer. “Lawyers, Guns, and Money” is great, “Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner” is one of his best works. “Excitable Boy” and “Poor Poor Pitiful Me” are real rockers. “Nighttime in the Switching Yard” is awesome. “My Shits Fucked Up” is very good. But perhaps his finest work was “Keep Me in Your Heart” which he recorded as a goodbye while knowing he was dying. There was a lot more this man did than what most people remember, and when he left us he left a larger void in the music industry than many realized.

Warren Zevon had one of the best senses of humor in rock, and made an entire career out of writing and recording quirky offbeat songs. He had a huge cult following (including me) and was highly respected in the music industry. He and David Letterman were very good friends. Whenever Letterman's usual bandleader Paul Shaffer was on vacation, Warren would sit in for him. He and David played very well off each other. When he was dying of mesothelieoma, he made his last appearance on the show about a year before he died. The entire country watched in tears as the two old friends said goodbye to each other one last time.

Lol, Warren Zevon performed this on Midnight Special, loved it!, so happy, happy you checked this, isn't it catchy!, Warren was like Randy Newman(who made Short People, and the theme from Monk tv series), he did fun songs, and its funny, coincidental that this song came out few years before the actual American Werewolf in London movie, and they didn't put it in the movie, least I don't remember it being in there, but we thought it was funny, and they always played it round Halloween you know on radio, that part about "little old lady getting mauled, and I love the part where he says he'd like to meet his "taylor", you know like he's a vicious killer but he's well dressed!, Rip Warren, I can't believe its been almost 20 years, it just doesn't seem so.

If you haven't already been told in the comments, this song is from a movie called "American Werewolf in London". A pretty good movie from back in about 1983. It was also used in a movie starring Tom Cruise and Paul Newman much later, in which they were pool playing hustlers but I can't remember the title.

[@shark5919]

The song began as a joke by Phil Everly (of The Everly Brothers) to Zevon in 1975, over two years before the recording sessions for . Everly had watched a television broadcast of the 1935 film and "suggested to Zevon that he adapt the title for a song and dance craze." Zevon, Marinell and Wachtel played with the idea and wrote the song in about 15 minutes, all contributing lyrics that were transcribed by Zevon's then-wife Crystal. However, none of them took the song seriously.

[@sherryheim5504]

Warren Zevon was a very talented musician, song writer and performer. This was sort of a joke about a Chinese Restaurant that was actually in Soho. The mention of "His hair was perfect" was a nod to his friend Jackson Brown. Warren always had the best musicians playing with him. As far as those who actually understand music, music theory, etc. it was said that Warren could have taught the old classical writers and musicans a thing or two. Some of his other songs are worth checking out. Many musicans have covered his songs and this one was actually a big hit in the US. Check out Poor, Poor Pitiful me. Excitable boy (Live 1982 Capital Theatre). Pronounced Zee Von

Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner is another fun song from Warren Zevon. But if you want to hear him with something more serious, try Keep Me In Your Heart, which he recorded just before his death from cancer. It is a beautiful song about remembering him when he is gone. Warren Zevon kept his sense of humour right to the end. After being diagnosed with cancer he released an album called 'My Ride Is Here'. And on his final album, released two weeks before his death, he did a cover of Knocking on Heaven's Door.
