Hindu Love Gods, 1990
Written by Terry Anderson, 1985
This song was written by the front man of a little-known band called Woods and made famous by the Georgie Satellites. Woods released their own version in 1987. I haven't heard either band's take on it, just this one. Zevon's muscular vocals carry the day here. Its lyrics consist of verse, chorus, same verse as before, chorus, same verse as before, chorus. Super repetitive, but its catchiness helps. There was just something magical about the collaboration of R.E.M. and Zevon and we're lucky to have it on wax. Tape. The cloud.
