   Thanks a ton and a half for this diary, and may I please return the favor?

   Here’s another of my favorites from Warren. What a writer!

   Werewolves of London

   I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
   Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
   He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook’s
   Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein
   Aaah-ooooooohhhh
   Werewolves of London
   Aaah-ooooooohhhh

   You hear him howling around your kitchen door
   Better not let him in
   Little old lady got mutilated late last night
   Werewolves of London again
   Aaah-ooooooohhhh
   Werewolves of London
   Aaah-ooooooohhhh

   He’s the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
   Lately he’s been overheard in Mayfair
   Better stay away from him
   He’ll rip your lungs out, Jim
   I’d like to meet his tailor
   Aaah-ooooooohhhh
   Werewolves of London
   Aaah-ooooooohhhh

   Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
   Doing the Werewolves of London
   I saw Lon Chaney, Jr. walking with the Queen
   Doing the Werewolves of London
   I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic’s
   And his hair was perfect
   Aaah-ooooooohhhh
   Werewolves of London
   Aaah-ooooooohhhh
   Draw blood

   Some great guitar on that track, by one of my all time favorites, the inimitable David Lindley. Thanks for reminding me of all this. Aaah-ooooooohhhh.

   You’ve managed to link two of my favorite people here! Of course now instead of mundane work around the place I’m dragging out all my WZ music and singing along…yes, I blame you for the lack of clean laundry! But how could I not take a break and listen to Desperadoes under the Eaves and one more time, or two or three. Damn, I miss that man.
