So bad. I’m so sorry for this. Three Our Houses and three Wind Cries Mary’s.
Fitting ‘Bat Books for Beginners’ into a song is the first step to making one of these parodies. When I first started making these a few months ago I couldn’t imagine that there would be many songs that I could make work. I leave it to others to say whether I was right then or not.
I heard Werewolves of London last Wednesday while waiting for my burger and fries at the Frites and Meats truck on Hudson and Houston streets and it just stuck in my head. I was reminded of it today when I went back for my weekly fix of grease and self loathing. If a song insists on being recorded who am I to argue?
The Warren Zevon original is played on piano and I didn’t know if it would sound good played on guitar. I got the basic riff from YouTube while I was waiting for my burger and was looking forward to coming home to see if it worked. It did. As soon as I played it I knew it would be OK.
I have short fingers and am not practicing guitar at all or stretching my hand so this riff was harder to play than it should have been. It took about three or four takes but I got it eventually.
I am a little confused about which song is the intro to which episode. A month or so ago I recorded the Who’s That Lady parody for the Catwoman One Year Later episode. At the time it was supposed to be 174 but now I think it has been moved up. Anyway, it is done and will find a home eventually.
And here is the video
