So....I'm hangin out in Sammy Peppers, or Wings, or Earl's, or Cheers, or Mission Springs Brewery... or where ever fine Leeboskis hang out and drink that great Canadian beer in B.C....
...and I keep hearing this song. And this song pisses me off, because it's a complete rip-off of Warren Zevon's great "Werewolves of London".
... and I had never heard this song before I got to Canada, so I'm assuming it's a Canadian thing, or at least some Canadian band. And the more I hear this song (constantly) at the various establishments I frequent here, the more this blatant copy of Zevon is really, completely, totally pissing me the hell off.
So I set out in search of this theiving band who not only have the balls to steal one of the most classic riffs in in the history of rock n' roll, but are assholes enough to write new lyrics to it as well.
Well, imagine my suprise when I find out it's Kid F-ing Rock.
Now I'm REALLY pissed.
This punk-ass who claims he "loves" rock and roll and worships the ground Bob Seger walks on is out there constituting the biggest rip-off in the history of music since Vanilla Ice wanted to show us how masculine he was by ripping off two gay guys, Freddie Mercury and David Bowie.
This song is EXACTLY, riff for riff, "Werewolves of London". It's unbelievable.
Now I like Kid Rock. I really do. Or did. I've seen him live and he put on one helluva good show.
But to completely rip off Zevon.... and to rewrite the damn song...AND release it as a single???
Well, Kid Rock....YER A GOCK.
I saw a werewolf drinking a Pina Collida at Sammy Peppers.
His hair was perfect.
Yup!

Yes dusche, he used that song and another as a mashup to create this song.
It's called "sampling", you might've heard of it?
I've heard of it. It should be called "ripping other people's music off".
Yer a gock, Mike Guerdon.
And so's Kid Gock.
Ya gock.
