On October 19th, Artemis Records is set to release a very special
tribute album to the late Warren Zevon entitled ENJOY EVERY SANDWICH:
THE SONGS OF WARREN ZEVON. The album features many of Zevon's best-
known songs performed by a stunning array of artists including Bruce
Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Adam Sandler, Don Henley, The
Pixies and many more. Also included are two never-before-released
Zevon-penned songs: Studebaker performed by Zevon's son, Jordan
Zevon with background vocals provided by Wallflowers' Jakob Dylan,
and The Wind performed by Billy Bob Thornton. Legendary arranger
Van Dyke Parks adds string arrangements to the beautiful Keep Me In
Your Heart, performed by Jorge Calderon and Jennifer Warnes.
Bruce Springsteen pays homage to his late friend during the spoken
introduction to his live track contribution, My Ride's Here,
calling Zevon one of the great, great Ameican songwriters. ENJOY
EVERY SANDWICH: THE SONGS OF WARREN ZEVON is co-executive produced by
Jorge Calderon and Jordan Zevon. Calderon co-produced and co-wrote
Warren Zevon's final album, the two-time Grammy-winning, gold-
certified THE WIND. Calderon commented This record is a celebration
of Warren Zevon's music, and Warren, being a true artist's artist,
attracted some of the best folks in contemporary music thus making it
a very special party. Jordan Zevon added I'm so proud of this
record and the diverse line-up of artists that participated. Hearing
Dad's songs voiced by such an eclectic collection of artists reminds
you of what a brilliant songwriter he was. Warren Zevon passed away
on September 7th, 2003.

Wow, I can't believe I totally missed that this was released. Just bought the track on iTMS, great stuff! I heard people talking about "Ain't That Pretty at All" being the song they might play, because it was one of the two songs they've recorded since reunited, and lo and behold, there it is....:)
Cool stuff... just to ask, am I hearing it right that Kim replaced "Roy" with "Jordan"? Is that a reference to Jordan Zevon? I noticed Frank calls Kim "Kimmy".

I've found the original lyrics on the net and added who sings it :
F : Frank
K : Kim
* : Frank & Kim together
You'll notice some changes in the Pixies version
written by Leroy P. Marinell & Warren Zevon
1982 Tiny Tunes (ASCAP) & Zevon Music (BMI)
F Well, I've seen all there is to see
F And I've heard all they have to say
F I've done everything I wanted to do . . .
F I've done that too
* And it ain't that pretty at all
* Ain't that pretty at all
* So I'm going to hurl myself against the wall
* 'Cause I'd rather feel bad than not feel anything at all
K You know, I just had a short vacation, Roy
K Spent it getting a root canal
F "Oh, how'd you like it?"
K Well, it ain't that pretty at all
* So I'm going to hurl myself against the wall
* 'Cause I'd rather feel bad than not feel anything at all
F Gonna get a good running start and throw myself at the wall as hard as I can man
K I've been to Paris
K And it ain't that pretty at all
K I've been to Rome
* Guess what?
F I'd like to go back to Paris someday and visit the Louvre Museum
F Get a good running start and hurl myself at the wall
F Going to hurl myself against the wall
F 'Cause I'd rather feel bad than feel nothing at all
* And it ain't that pretty at all
* Ain't that pretty at all
They tried to give me advice

The whole Zevon album rocks! I downloaded it from www.downloadpunk.com. "Ain't That Pretty At All" only continues their legacy. Let's hope for a full album! |

hopefully theyll put the songs on itunes individually. i dont really want to buy an entire cd just for one song, although if it comes down to it, i probably would. |
