Years before John Landis exposed the American werewolf invasion of London, Warren Zevon was already warning us that native London werewolves were taking over the city.

There! That’s the requisite joke that anyone who talks about this undocumented music video from the 1970s has to make. It also has actual ties to An American Werewolf in London (1981). On the DVD Commentary for the film, David Naughton and Griffen Dunne say they didn’t know why Landis didn’t obtain the rights to use this song since they felt it would have been appropriate for the movie. Then again, what made him or Michael Jackson think that ridiculous quote at the beginning of Thriller would keep people from making accusations that Michael Jackson was involved in the occult.

I’m not sure what else to say that wouldn’t be just delving into the history of Warren Zevon himself except for one thing. If you thought the werewolf from Ozzy Osbourne’s Bark at the Moon was ridiculous, then let me tell you that Zevon can top that.

I highly recommend taking at look at this otherwise unremarkable music video that is made priceless by cutaways to the werewolf just walking around like a normal werewolf on the town looking for a bite to eat.
