Warren Zevon & Stevie Nicks - Mohammed's Radio (HD)

Just magic! An amazing duet!

Mohammed's Radio: Written by Warren Zevon 1976 Zevon Music BMI

Everybody's restless and they've got no place to go
Someone's always trying to tell them
Something they already know
So their anger and resentment flow

But don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long
Mohammed's Radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's Radio

You know, the Sheriff's got his problems too
He will surely take them out on you
In walked the village idiot and his face was all aglow
He's been up all night listening to Mohammed's Radio

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long
Mohammed's Radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's Radio

Everybody's desperate trying to make ends meet
Work all day, still can't pay the price of gasoline and meat
Alas, their lives are incomplete

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long Mohammed's Radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio, Mohammed's Radio

You've been up all night listening for his drum
Hoping that the righteous might just might just might just come
I heard the General whisper to his aide-de-camp
"Be watchful for Mohammed's lamp"

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long Mohammed's Radio

I'm just crazy about Stevie Nicks. In my younger years, I even copied her hairstyle, lol. My hubby thinks she's one of the most beautiful women who's ever lived. Warren and Stevie sound great together! :) Janet

I dressed like her too back in the day.lol A beautiful talented singer and the best songwriter in Fleetwood Mac. It's her songs that have become the classics. But I came here to listen to Warren. And it was perfect.

RIP Warren.  You were, and still are, a genius.

Thanks for posting this! I love it, and enjoyed the pics. Have seen many of the Warren ones, but not so much of Stevie.

The harmonies are from both Stevie and Lindsey Buckingham. Buckingham's harmonies are also on Zevon's version of Poor, Poor Pitiful Me...exquisite.

Anybody know who's playing sax on this? Gorgeous version of an amazing song. 'In walks the village idiot, his face is all aglow...he's been up all night listenin' to Mohammed's radio.' Requiescat in pace, Genius!
