“
I saw a werewolf drinkin' a pina colada at Trader Vic's...and his hair was perfect
”
Warren Zevon

In the study group's first year at Greendale, Jeff was looking forward to a billiards class he had signed up for. Unfortunately, the instructor Coach Bogner insisted that all his students wear the school uniform for the class which included a t-shirt and shorts. Uncomfortable in the outfit, particularly the shorts, Jeff refused to wear it and quit the class. Later on, Jeff has an epiphany thanks to Abed and became more comfortable with the idea of wearing the shorts. He put them on and went to the student lounge in order to challenge the Coach to a one-on-one game of pool. Bogner offers that if he wins he will be allowed to wear whatever he wants to class. Warren Zevon's song "Werewolves of London" is heard as Jeff and Coach Bogner start their game.


The song with lyrics[]


Lyrics:

I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walkin' through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was lookin' for the place called Lee Ho Fooks
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London Aaahoo!
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London Aaahoo!
Ya hear him howlin' around your kitchen door
Ya better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London Aaahoo!
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London Aaahoo!
He's the hairy, hairy gent, who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair You better stay away from him
He'll rip your lungs out Jim Huh, I'd like to meet his tailor
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London Aaahoo!
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London Aaahoo!
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walkin' with the queen
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walkin' with the queen
Doin' the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin' a pina colada at Trader Vic's
And his hair was perfect
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London Draw blood
Aaahoo! Werewolves of London


The Color of Money[]

The song Werewolves of London is best known for it's use in the 1986 movie "The Color of Money", a sequel of sorts to the 1961 movie "The Hustler". Both films were about pool hustlers and Paul Newman reprised his role from the earlier film "Fast Eddie Felson" and joined Tom Cruise for the 1986 film. In the scene the song plays in, Tom Cruise's character Vincent plays a game in a bar while arrogantly taunting his opponent throughout the game. Jeff taunts Bogner in a similar way during their pool game.
