Does Warren Zevon have something to say? Or is it just a goofy tune about werewolves?
I just got, as a Christmas gift, Warren Zevon’s Greatest Hits. Like the rest of America, I’ve heard that "Werewolves in London" tune on the radio a million times without ever really listening to it.
So I’m curious: Do the songs "Werewolves of London" and "I Was In The House When The House Burned Down" actually mean anything, have any kind of story behind them that anyone is aware of – the way that, for example, "Boom Boom Mancini" obviously does? Or is it just a lot of extemporaneous rhythms and rhymes?
Bonus question: I also got "Loyalty Days" by Garrison Keillor. Does anyone know the lyrics to "Whoopi Ki-Yi-Yo" or know where I can find them? I can’t seem to google them.
