Warren Zevon – Werewolves of London (Excitable Boy)

Part of the ‘Best Songs for a Halloween Playlist’ series

Right now that annoying Kid Rock single is using the piano riff from Warren Zevon’s signature song as its main instrumentation.  If you’d like to hear what bluesy redneck rock is supposed to sound like, as well as get a listen to one of the strangest songs ever recorded, “Werewolves of London” is it.  If any of your hipster friends know the track, they will no doubt be leading the ironic sing-along to the chorus, which will make for some great fun at the party.  Give it a listen and add it on in.
