"The French Inhaler" is a Warren Zevon song, written by Warren Zevon, off his 1976 self-titled album. "The French Inhaler" is mainly intended as a kiss-off to "Tule" Livingston. The over-all bitter tone of the song was lyrically modeled after Zevon found out about Livingston's post-breakup meeting with another musician. Jordan Zevon has described the lyrics of the song as "French Inhaler is [Warren Zevon's] way of saying 'fuck you' to my mom after she slept with another guy." He also went on to say, "...as much as it pains me that it's about my mother, it is the greatest ex-girlfriend 'fuck you' song of all time." At the conclusion of the song, Zevon's lyrics also incorporate the furor surrounding Norman Mailer's exploitive 1973 Marilyn Monroe biography. Other than the bitter ties to Tule and other references, the song seems to be a moving testament to the hard and rough life of an L.A. prostitute, thus leading the song to be described as "a scathing insider's look at life and lust on the L.A. music scene."

-'''"Boob Boom Mancini"''' is a song on [[Warren Zevon]]'s [[Time Line#1980s|1987]] album, ''[[Sentimental Hygiene]]''. The song is greatly based on lightweight [[:wikipedia:boxing|boxer]] [[:wikipedia:Ray Mancini|Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini]]. The chorus documents, in the first verse the Mancini-[[:wikipedia:Arturo Frias|Arturo Frias]] fight in [[:wikipedia:Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]] on May 8, 1982. In what was often called the best first round in boxing history. Frias wobbled Mancini and bloodied the challenger's nose in the fight's opening minute, only to have Mancini drop him and win the fight by knockout in the last minute of the first round. ("And he put him away in round number one.") The song documents Mancini's now legendary fight with [[:wikipedia:Alexis Arguello|Alexis Arguello]] for the lightweight title, as he started out strong, however was defeated in the end.  <br> <br> [[Boom Boom Mancini|More Information...]]''
