OMFG, my beloved Queen 🙇♂️ and comrade 🫡, that is fucking horrifying. Sending you good vibes and agnostic prayers!! 🙏🏾⛩️🖖🏿😘
I guess it depends on what you let into the category. Some are slam dunks like “Werewolves of London” by Warren Zevon, “Howlin’ for You” by The Black Keys, “The Werewolf” by Paul Simon, Werewolf” by Fiona Apple and “I Was a Teenage Werewolf” by The Cramps.
If you’re more flexible there are songs like “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran, “Bark at the Moon” by Ozzy Osbourne, “Of Wolf and Man,” by Metallica, and maybe “Wolfman Jack” by Todd Rundgren (okay, a different kind of wolfman).
Okay, I'll admit I started with Zevon and then there was a 60s garage thing and then there was plugging "werewolf songs" into youtube's search engine, which got me dreck. The Cramps were on there, actually and Ozzy, and the Rundgren, but I didn't try them. And I actually kinda like the Cramps, or at least have in my past.
Old people who are kind of hot – Bonnie Raitt and Delbert McClinton perform "Good Man, Good Woman" on David Letterman in August 1992. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYkgeql5AiQ
They won the Grammy for Best Rock Performance by Duo or Group with Vocal for this in 1993.
Ten years before that, in 1982, David Letterman welcomed Bonnie Raitt and the legendary Sippie Wallace to spend 16 minutes on his then 3-month-old Late Night Show.
Bonnie performs 'Me and the Boys' then has a hilarious chat with David, followed by Bonnie and Sippie singing 'Woman Be Wise' accompanied by Dr. John on the piano. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QMbSSIo5ik
Letterman had just turned 35, Raitt was 32, and Wallace was 83.
A note on the upcoming elections. news sez farmers big mad at the convicted felon. Normally a bad look for a pol, but remember allllll those big red counties and we pointed out that "Yeah, they voted MAGATty, but there really are not a lot of people there."? Well, remember, there are actually not a lot of farmers out there, and I am pretty sure their townie neighbors won't stop bigotting and MAGATTTing their vote just because farms die on the vine.
Farmers have access to dozens of government programs but have somehow convinced themselves tgey are super independent bootstrappers. I don't get it. I mean I do, they want to pretend that welfare is totally different. Get over yourselves. It's not.
I think the nature of the job is different. My dad's description of his day growing up on a farm was "Get up, work a few hours, go in, have a huge breakfast, work a few hours, go in, have a huge lunch, work, go in to dinner, work, go to bed, rinse repeat." This was for everybody. Dairy farmers need to milk every day. Cows don't stop producing over weekends. If your job was 7 days a week you might look askance at a 9 to 5er and get to feeling a bit aggrieved.
That was my dad's experience too. He realized things had changed a lot when his brother got a $100,000 tractor paid for by the government. Nobody who gets that kind of help gets to look askance at someone getting the pittance that is SNAP benefits.
Fewer of them left too. In my dad's old hometown in SD the farms have gone corporate, and the "downtown" of feedstores and tractor supply shops has been drying up. Dimock nearby is doing OK, but only by doing value added good cheese at the local dairy coop. North a ways I had heard a group of farmers left things mostly fallow and planted stuff pheasants like. They were doing OK with hunting leases.

Just What I Needed
I was 23 when I saw the Cars at the Rat. They were just what I needed then!

A song about vodka with accordion. So much better than werewolf songs.

There aren't many good werewolf songs...
This has been a Wonkstigation...
Does "Bad Moon Arising" count?
*Turns her face towards Albany High...* Look that's kinda a weird question around here...

Frank Zappa - Zomby Woof

Zappa is not my cup of tea.
There's a pretty amazing guitar solo about 2 and a half minutes in.
Just yesterday I was so impressed that Shakira worked "lycanthropy" into the lyrics of 'She Wolf'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqoj4ibRdiY

This is so AI looking, I can't believe it's three years old. And I didn't watch all the way.

Still, in rural areas the Not Farmers businesses rely on farmers and their harvests and herds, and they're aware this is bad for them too.

Simba and Kissy Face Clark* cuddle with me watching House MD much of the day. Feeling like shite because of anxiety. Weed is helping.
Also too: kittehs and hooomun are closer together than this wide angle image appears.

*Will the "real" Clark please meow for the audience?
There were people who objected to outlawing children as chimney sweeps in 19th century England.
Laws protecting animals are older than laws protecting children in that country. (And probably this.)
It’s true—when the first US child abuse case was brought, we didn’t have child welfare laws.
