Werewolf? There! There Wolf. There Castle...














Song of the day:

Werewolves of London!  Every time I hear this song, I get uncontrollably happy - a fact that disturbs me slightly because the imagery in this song is occasionally very horrifying, but I LOVE IT!!

Werewolves of London

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. 

Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo
Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo

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. 

Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo
Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo

He's the hairy, hairy 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. 

Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo
Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo

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




As an aside, I (sadly) went 22 years of my life without actually listening to the lyrics of this song.  One of my students, (who I adored), Hannah Neimetz, brought this in on a "share day" in Honors Writing so we could "interpret the lyrics."  THANK YOU HANNAH; I MISS YOU!! 

As a FURTHER aside, I am utterly peeved at Kid Rock for writing an IDENTICAL intro for his awful country debut, "Sweet Home Alabama."  Every time that stupid song started, I would get SO HAPPY thinking they were playing WOL, but alas, I was, instead, AGAIN listening to the white-trash exploits of an unattractive underachiever.  *thumbs down*
