BARK, BATTLE AND BULL: Warren Zevon’s classic...

BARK, BATTLE AND BULL: Warren Zevon’s classic sing-along satire, “Werewolves of London,” just won’t die. Now it’s returned as the musical bed for a new KLSX parody about the latest scary monsters on the loose around town--”The Pit Bulls of L.A.” Performed by KLSX Morning Crew deejay Phil Hendrie, newsman Marshall Phillips and producer Nicole Sandler, the spoof is sure to fan the flames surrounding the current pit-bull hysteria--it uses a raucous assortment of snarling sound effects and dismisses pit-bull owners as “Nazis” who have “puppy-chow for brains.”

According to Sandler, the song, which airs “almost every day,” has sparked a “barrage” of calls and mail from irate pit bull owners and enthusiasts. “We’ve been getting all sorts of response from pit bull owners, saying this whole thing has been blown out of proportion,” Sandler explained. “I have a letter right here from a woman in Covina who calls the song ‘distasteful and ignorant’ and says this whole pit bull controversy is ‘mass hysteria.’ ”

Sandler chuckled. “I guess you could say people are really passionate on this topic.”

Here’s a sample verse:

Well I saw a pit bull with an animal-control officer in his mouth,

He wasn’t going to learn how to sit up, fetch or beg,

He was gonna keep that clod from throwing him in a cage,

All he did was chew off the next-door neighbor’s leg ,

Ahh-ooooh, pit bulls of L.A.. . .
