Warren Zevon lyrics

[Tad]

From the "Fat Bottomed Girls" thread, Jes suggested we talk about Warren Zevon's "Excitable Boy" and then Leo Gibson responded:

Can we? Can we?

I love Zevon, but Play It All Night Long would make for a better discussion, what with its message about southern rednecks and inbreeding. Plus, a guy that can work in cows having brucellosis into a lyric is a F'ing genius.

But Excitable Boy would be good too.

I can never tell when Jes is being serious or humorous, but I'm pretty sure Leo was being sincere, so here we go.....

So, for those not familiar with the distinctive Warren Zevon beyond "Werewolves of London", her are youtube links:

Excitable Boy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJefPK_UkdM
Play it All Night Long: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsJlqgoSC_Y

(he has lots of other distinctive songs too....for example I always enjoyed the odd fable like quality of "Roland the Headless Thomson Gunner", while "The Envoy" is just as applicable now as it was when it was written over thirty years ago....)

Well, have at it I guess
