I have maintained for many years now that there is not one song on Warren Zevon's "Excitable Boy" that is not a fucking gem.

Every song on that disc is a fucking champion. If you disagree, either you haven't heard it, or your soul is full of fucking mildew and your ears are full of bullshit.

Word is bond.

The title track is irritating. Give me that much. That's a stupid song and you know it.

It's not even the raping and killing and building a cage with her bones, although that makes the song reeeeal awkward when you have a girl in the car lemme tell you.

It's the "'Excitable Boy', they all said" at the end of every line (and even during the SAX solo*). The repetition of that line is fucking nauseating.

*well, close enough...

winston, Saturday, 5 April 2008 17:11 (seventeen years ago)

winston, Saturday, 5 April 2008 17:11 (seventeen years ago)

and songs!

Four words: "Accidentally Like A Martyr".

What the fuck does that even mean??

The rest is pretty awesome, though. (Well, I dunno, I could probably live without "Tenderness on the Block," too, but I really have nothing against it.)

Yeah, "Tenderness on the Block" is not one of its stronger tracks.

Is there any good clapping in it? If so, what time signature?
