GORILLA, YOU’RE A DESPERADO – Warren Zevon

#1686 – GORILLA, YOU’RE A DESPERADO - 10/18/2019

This hilarious send-up of the SoCal music industry circa the late 70’s comes to us from the late, great Excitable Boy himself, Warren Zevon.

The tune is found on Warren’s third Asylum Records release "Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School". You have to love any tune starts off with the lines:

Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo snatched the glasses right off my face.
Took the keys to my BMW and left me here to take his place

Hope ya got a smile from this little nugget. I’ll leave you with today’s deep thought from George Carlin: “Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, you soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck”


1980
