Is this not the most ridiculous song? Look at the lyrics

[McMalty]

This freaking song is terrible. I've heard it a hundred times, but i still cannot get over how freaking stupid it is. None of it makes any sense. I just heard it on tv and became enraged. thoughts? if u love this song, please explain why. And his hair was perfect? WTF does that mean?

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.

Chorus:
Aaahoo, werewolves of London
Aaahoo(2x)

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.

Chorus 2x

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.

Chorus 2x

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

Who the hell knows how accurate any of this stuff actually is but

Seems like the song just came together organically.
Also, I love this song, I have no idea why really but I'm pretty sure that its got alot to do with the one lyric that is left out of your post....

After the "and his hair was perfect line" there is a pause and Warren says "YUP" or maybe just makes some weird noise. Dumb reason to like a song? For sure, but for some reason it does it for me.

I will say however that Kid Rock kinda ruined it for me with that song he sampled this for.

I don't love this song, but I do like it. His vocals are a little over the top for me, but I guess that is the point. I don't think the lyrics are bad at all, just surreal. Alot of Bob Dylan and Beatles best work have lyrics that are alot more obscure than this - see I am the Walrus

 

[McMalty]

when i hear it, i kinda like it, but when i actually listen to it, it's so terrible, wth

 

[steinsato]

www.songfacts.com I really don't think there is a meaning to this song. Do songs need to have meanings? I like the song, why would the lyrics need to have some deep poetic meaning to make it a good song?

only diff is that the beatles and dylan backed it up by having other songs that were amazing instead of just one ridiculous song that makes no sense whatsoever. i'm ranting, sorry, i don't hate the song that much, but i actually do b/c the lyrics are so freaking stupid

no, ur right, i'm just commenting b/c this song annoys the $hit out of me. it has no meaning and it doesn't have to, maybe i wish i wrote a song about nonsense and lived off of it for the rest of my life. hell, i could do it right now

 

[certaut]

maybe don't listen to it if it upsets you

 

[brewmonk]

aaaaaaa oooooooooooooo

 

[Yuri_Rage]

I love this song. I don't find it necessary to find a deep or even superficial meaning in it to enjoy it. The tune is catchy and infectious, and the lyrics paint a comical picture of a beast with classy/upscale mannerisms.

 

[Bobby_M]

And I kinda hate that Kid Rock used it even though I don't mind that song either.

ha...maybe ur right, like i said, i kinda like the song sometimes. but sometimes it just catches me the wrong way and it's like why the hell do they play this retarded song so much??? And i could just not listen to it, like a poster suggested, but when it's in a show i'm watching, i kinda have no choice. And no chance the song actually goes along with the plot of the show, so the director has no excuse except that he wants to piss me off. .........."ahhhh ooooooo, i'd like to meet his tailor." oh so we can just throw random nonsense together with the guise of it being something cohesive? sure. ok then. in the spirit of the song......heeeeeeeeyyyy jibbbbbbidy, i saw a swordfish at starbucks ordering a venti mocha and his legs looked awesome..........hows that. i'll write the whole thing for you guys and you can sing your children to sleep with it. ........i sound so Salty right now, not my intention, i must have gotten riled up about something today

 

[trigger]

Well, I love that song. When the zombies attack you're going to want to have a werewolf on your side, trust me.

 

[Homercidal]

Warren was a great songwriter and well respected by many others. Kid Rock acknowledged as much when he wrote his own tune using two of his favorite songs together.

Read up on Warren's life and songs. He may not always write songs that make perfect sense, but not everyone does. I'd even go so far as to say that quite often people write songs that are perfectly understandable and they STILL SUCK BAWLS.

So I don't know why you single this tune out for it's crappiness. Turn on the radio and listen to the garbage that is played today. Most of it is whiny crap or equally unintelligible.

No my friend, THIS is the stupidest song ever, as if it has not been overexposed enough.

That song totally sucks, but its not a popular song bc it sucks. Let me revise my original statement: werewolves in London blatantly and intentionally makes no sense, yet is wildly popular. It's better than most of the new music they play but I'm still not letting it off the hook

Also, may I submit this song into the running....

 

[McGarnigle]

Werewolves of London is a terrific song (although I've heard it more than enough). It's funny....the idea that werewolves would be seen as fashionably hip. It pokes fun at our infatuation with celebrity and fashion.

I think rock does this sort of thing much better than it does deep political messages.

Given the current Twilight fad, it seems almost portentous.

Plus I can't play pool without humming it.

Is that real? I guess if you have to ask, it could just be *really good* satire.

 

[matthewgardner]

I got to say -1 on the Riskay song, that song makes me laugh like no other.

I like the Werewolves Of London - I think the worst song ever written (yet oddly better than anything I have ever wrote) is this...

 

[rycov]

why is every one hattin on the op's... um... hattin. its in the drunk mumbling section.
while i don't think i've ever heard this song, im gonna hate it with you OP, because i am drunk to. is this a dumb reason to hate a song? i hope so. also about the smell your dick song. i never heard it either, but i think i like it just because of the title.

[rycov]

[TheWeeb]

[matthewgardner]

Now here is a great song...works even better if you were looking for a reason to have a homebrew tonight!

 

[rycov]
