I remember when he guest starred as himself and during a scene he went on a tirade at Martin about his song "Werewolves of London".
Warren said something like: You're the type of guy who sings Werewolves of London...... can't remember the rest.
I was kind of confused about what he said because the song is called Werewolves of London.
Does he just get sick of requests for that song?
Warren said something like: You're the type of guy who sings Werewolves of Thunder
Martin [amiably]: Warren Zevon, hey! I love you, I used to play Mohammed's Radio on guitar... or was it [name of song I can't remember] they have the same chords right? C-G-D?
Warren: Get away from me you little f__k. You're the kind of idiot who yells out Werewolves of London at every show.
Thanks for that info.
Looks like I made a few typos.
'Werewolves of Thunder'
That reads like an awesome read...
Neither one of us owe each other anything. Except you owe me an apology.
Warren Zevon also appeared in a similar bit on "The Larry Sanders Show". He went on to promote his new album, and had to follow-up with Werewolves (groan).
There must be a lot of performers who grow to hate the songs that make them famous. Todd Rundgren and "Hello, It's Me" comes to mind.
Yeah, both shows were on HBO of course. Warren actually always claimed he didn't resent playing Werewolves for, as he called them, his "customers" but there was so much more great music in his canon.
It was a funny bit on both shows. On Sanders they actually had him play Werewolves and he sang it in a pissed off way.
