Songs about werewolves or that definately apply to werewolfish experiences. Preferable upbeat pop/rock (not metal tho). Any suggestions are appreciated, thx!

Edit: Due to tonal drift, werewolf folk is also requested and 'upbeat' is not strictly required.

    I Was a Teenage Werewolf by The Cramps is great.

    Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival was used for the transformation scene in An American Werewolf in London, so I always associate it with that.

    Edit: I didn't know the song Wolfman, but now it's on my Halloween playlist. :)

    Phish has a song Wolfman's Brother that is pretty upbeat and the album version from Hoist is a very reasonable 4 and a half minutes.

    Since TV on the Radio was suggested already I'll put in Howling at the Moon by Phantogram

  • May not fit what you're looking for, but my first thoughts are:

    • The Wolf by SIAMES
    • Another Way Out by Hollywood Undead
    • The Wolves by JJ and The Pillars

    The lupine waltz, piano only, short, not pop rock.

    But I still wanted to share it because it's cute

    The rest of the album is maybe what you're looking for. From a quick listen its electro swing, rock, bit of everything

    I’m My Own Master Now (Platinum mix) Maybe if you take the lyrics at face value.

    Excuse if it is too much of a metal, I'm really not sure where that line is drawn ^^`
