Famous Lost Words

810 - Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Warren Zevon and the greatest lyric ever!


Listen Later

What is the great song lyric ever?  Tom & Christopher argue about Bob Dylan and Paul Simon before Tom comes up with the best (and funniest) answer.

          This week, our show features two Canadian superstars… Shania Twain and Celine Dion.

          Frist, we have Tom’s 2003 chat with Shania as she talks about touring and how her songs and concerts are a celebration.  Tom asks her about a secret staff of darker songs and finds out about the moments that changed her life.

          Then, we fast forward to 2015 as Shania talks to Marilyn Denis about her Vegas residency.  All told, it’s a pretty revealing set of interview clips with Shania.

We also have a 1992 interview with Celine Dion, just as she was starting to experience superstardom. Her gratitude is sincere and heartfelt. She also talks about her then-manager (and future husband) Rene Angelil and how her first audition for him made him break down in tears.

          And we finish up with a fascinating interview with the late great Warren Zevon.  Sure, Warren is best known for the 1978 classic, “Werewolves Of London”, but his skills as a songwriter were deeply admired by other artists.  In these interview clips, Zevon talks about creating “Werewolves”, dealing with critics and writing songs about the darkest parts of life, but doing it with humour.  We’ll also talk about Warren’s deep gratitude to David Letterman.
