It's my fav Halloween Song!
He's the hairy-handed gent who ran amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out, Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor!!!!
....Luv that line!!

Finally as a grown ass man — big ol house
My study has been converted to my billiards room - beauty of a 9ft table green simonis cloth — Judges paneling, wet bar — black and white photos of Gleason & Newman hanging on the walls....

I will listen to this song as I rack em! Cheers some of you will get this comment.

Full Moon 5 June, 2020
“Even a man who is pure in heart,
And says his prayers by night,
May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms,
And the moon is full and bright.”
Curt Siodmak, the author of this poem, used in "The Wolf Man" (1941)

One of my favorite piano segments ever. :)

Wonder why they didn't use this song for "An American Werewolf in London." Too on-the-nose? :/

So far, only 2 people got mutilated by the werewolves of London!
If there are any more dislikes, the werewolves will continue to do their duty.
