  • I am so glad that so many people are getting the chance to see this unusual video. Zevon didn't make many. This one also gives him some cred with younger folks, as he is side by side with Funkadelic's George Clinton. I'm trying to get another fine vid "Searchin For A Heart" posted, but YT so far, says no. Stay tuned!!!

  • Sweet video. I'll have to get the Current in Minneapolis to play this.

  • drums be the key . . that's one of the reasons I love this song in the first place. you should hear it in Spanish, too!

  • Not one of his best.

  • Well, the I've-got-a-head-cold vocals and the dancing (!!??!) are a bit off, admittedly. Overall, though, it's a departure for Zevon, it has a message, and the drumming and the Swahili that Zevon chants in his lowest register keep it on my list of favourites. Glad to hear other perspectives, though. Keeps our ears open!

  • most welcome!

    "Sentimental Hygiene" is out on CD with bonus tracks, incl this song in Spanish. a must-have for the true Zevonite.

  • If I had a boat, I'd name it the Warren Zevon. If it was a big boat, I might even carve a figurehead (I'm a carver); him with his round glasses. I think it would make a difference between me and the deep. If it didn't, I'd still be happier.

  • @katshadowone I completely agree with you!

    Warren was so different and what fucking talent!

    There is nobody like him today.

  • This song surprisingly sounds like most 80s pop, unlike the rest of his work.

  • This song is catchy, yet suggestive at the same time lol.

  • Anyhing Warren does is great. Nobody these days can come close to his talent.

  • Weird song on an otherwise solid album.

  • Only white guy in the band on this cut was Flea.

  • Love it!!

    Proof that Warren moved with the times- classic rock to 80's electronic. An under-appreciated musician.

    RIP Warren Zevon
