You want an 80s style puffa jacket?
Surely you're aware of the greatness of Warren Zevon, right?
BSG Christmas Do Page 72
No I have ridiculously bad taste in music.
Did he wear puffa jackets?
Werewolves Of London
Warren Zevon
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
walkin through the streets of Soho in the rain.
He was lookin for the place called Lee Ho Fooks,
gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein.
Chorus:
Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo(2x)
Ya hear him howlin around your kitchen door, ya better not let him in.
Little old lady got mutilated late last night, werewolves of London again.
Chorus 2x
He's the hairy-handed gent, who ran amok in Kent.
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair.
You better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim.
Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor.
Chorus 2x
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walkin with the queen, doing the werewolves of London.
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walkin with the queen, doin the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin a pina colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect.
Ahhhooooo, werewolves of London
Draw blood

Possibly the worst song ever.
Cool.

I like it.

Probably his most famous song, but not his best. That said, there are approximately 9 million songs in existence that are worse than the worst thing Zevon ever wrote. He left us too early. 
Allmusic calls him "one of the most acute and savagely satiric songwriters of his era," so I'd assume he'd be a favorite amongst comedy writers. I once requested this song at a Las Vegas pub with a singing piano player and he almost wept at the chance to play something other than the same old sappy songs. He refused to take a tip because he said it was one of his favorite songs.
Exictable Boy
Warren Zevon
Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best
Excitable boy, they all said
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
He took in the four a.m. show at the Clark
Excitable boy, they all said
And he bit the usherette's leg in the dark
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
He took little Susie to the Junior Prom
Excitable boy, they all said
and he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy
After ten long years they let him out of the Home
Excitable boy, they all said
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

And how can you hate a song that begins like this?
Grandpa pissed his pants again
He don't give a damn
Brother Billy has both guns drawn
He ain't been right since Vietnam
"Sweet home Alabama"
Play that dead band's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long
Daddy's doing Sister Sally
Grandma's dying of cancer now
The cattle all have brucellosis
We'll get through somehow
"Sweet home Alabama"
Play that dead band's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long
I'm going down to the Dew Drop Inn
See if I can drink enough
There ain't much to country living
Sweat, piss, jizz and blood
"Sweet home Alabama"
Play that dead band's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long
Ok, enough Warren Zevon lyrics for today.
Just wiki'd him, he was in a band with Stephen King and Matt Groening.
Damn that's cool.

Looks like I am out numbered on this song. Oh well, I think it sucks.
Stephen King, Maya Angelou and Matt Groening jamming together.
I need a ticket stat.
Just listened to Warren Zevron for the first time, he's ace!
Including Werewolves of London.
Yes, well, I enjoyed it. Even if I'm the ONLY person Ellie forgot to mention.
Bloody typical.
