A tangentially related anecdote:

I know a woman who told me about the time a guy asked her out on a date and took her to a Warren Zevon concert.

She didn't know anything about Zevon or his music, but she said that when he played Excitable Boy she knew that she wasn't going on another date with him but was worried that she'd make it home.

Even more tangential anecdote: whoever mixed the music for the one high school dance I attended put “Excitable Boy” on the playlist … and I think I was the only one who noticed how inappropriate that was! 😄
