Zevon's second album (his first, "Wanted Dead or Alive", appeared in 1969) "Warren Zevon" included three songs "Hasten Down the Wind", "Carmelita" and "Poor Poor Pitiful Me", that gained popularity from Linda Ronstandt's cover versions. The album, although it achieved critical acclaim and sold better than his solo debut, lingered at the bottom of the pop charts. Warren Zevon finally broke through with the song "Werewolves of London" from
Odds (band) Subject" and "King of the Heap" (both sung by Northey). The third single, the sexually explicit "Wendy Under the Stars" (sung by Drake), failed to chart, but attracted the attention of music critic Greil Marcus in his book "Dead Elvis". After the release of "Neopolitan", the band were picked up by Warren Zevon, becoming his touring band for his album "Mr. Bad Example". In 1993, Zevon returned the favor by guesting on the bands "Bedbugs" album. Its lead single was "Heterosexual Man". The video for that song featured the band members performing in drag, with Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald and
