Hurry Home Early, Hurry on Home

So I've been reading a book called "The Good Son:  The Life of Ray "Boom-Boom" Mancini."  It's an intriguing book about one of the most famous fighters in history from his upbringing in Youngstown as the son of a boxer (the original "Boom") through his rise to becoming champion and the fight that seems to have defined his career when Duk Koo Kim died shortly after his fight with Mancini.  Anyway, in 1987 Warren Zevon, a big Boom Boom fan, actually put out a song called "Boom Boom Mancini"...

Did I See You Drinking A Pina Colada at Trader Vic's?

OK, so today's Halloween song ventures outside of the 80's, but not by much... it's my favorite Werewolf song and hopefully yours as well... it's the scary Warren Zevon from 1978 with "Werewolves of London"...
