![]() Waddy Wachetl happened to walk in and ask, "What are you to doing?" It's not clear if this was a rip off Sweet Home Alabama which was released around the same time (Spring 1974) but if it is, that's Roy's look out. Marinell, a bassist, said he had just the riff for a dance song, and in turn played the famous bass line. Shortly after that Warren was song writing with his friend Roy Marinell and decided to take a crack at Werewolves. Phil, probably in jest said, "Fine, make it a dance song 'The Werewolves of London,' and I'll put it on the album." In much the same fashion of Bruce Springsteen and "Jeanie Needs a Shooter," Warren took him at his word. They started joking about how it sounded like a good song title. Warren, their former band leader and a close friend, was talking with him one evening after Don had been watching a old B-movie called Werewolf of London and mentioned the movie. Phil Everly was working on a solo album after he and Don broke up their band. It starts in 1974 long before he had even begun his first album. This is one of the few songs he wrote that Warren was very up front about where the meaning was concerned- the meaning being, it has none. I've seen bits and pieces here and there that get it straight, but let me combine it all. I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent Little old lady got mutilated late last night You hear him howling around your kitchen door ![]() He was looking for the place called Lee Ho Fook's Walking through the streets of SoHo in the rain I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
