Warren Zevon
Gorilla, You're a Desperado
from
Bad Luck Streak at Dancing School
1980
One of my favourite Warren Zevon songs is Gorilla, You're a Desperado. It is a very clever dig at the cool lifestyle of the '80s, set up with these opening lines:
Big gorilla at the LA Zoo
Snatched the glasses right off my face
Took the keys to my BMW
Left me here to take his place
Snatched the glasses right off my face
Took the keys to my BMW
Left me here to take his place
