I think that is the name of the song… It’s killing me. Does anybody remember the name of the guy who sang it? My brain hurts from trying to remember! Any help will be appreciated. ---

FWIW, the Dead used to do a fun version of this song, usually on Halloween. His hair may have been perfect, but the site of him drinking the pina colada at Trader Vic’s is even more priceless. And just who was his tailor? Partial to Lawyers, Guns & Money and Excitable Boy myself. ---

I saw a werewolf with a chinese menu in his hand Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fuk’s For to get a big dish of beef chow mien Yeah, it’s no “Lawyers, Guns & Money” or “Boom Boom Mancini” but even Zevon’s second-best songs are damn cool. ---

He came out with the Other Ones and hit WOL. Faaaaaaaaantastic! Isn’t there a poster who has LG&M in their sig line? ---
