06. "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon
The Hondo Joe Top 200 has many songs on it what are on this list, but I think this is the only one with the exact same placement. That's because when I saw it listed at number six on that countdown I said to myself, "Dammit! That's the perfect spot for that song on my list too!" So finally, a bit of syncronicity between the two lists.
Hondo Joe already mentioned that this song has the best alliterative line in all of rock and roll, but I would add to it that it also has one of the greatest "DIP!" shouts in all of rock and roll. And when you can time it right and shout it out at the exact same time with Warren--well, sing-alongs just don't get more satisfying than that.
Now, even though I love the original Warren Zevon version of this song, I can appreciate the many covers that have been done by other artists, including....BILLY JOEL!
Heh! Draw blood!
