I wonder why...

Warren Zevon's song "Werewolves of London" is never heard in the film? It would've been perfect. (And it came out 3 years before the film)

It would have been crass and obvious.

Obvious, maybe. Why crass? (I don't expect a reponse, because you won't have any)

I thought the same thing! Should have been used in the end credits!

I’m not sure if it was considered or not, but Landis obviously used several songs with moon in the title and maybe this was one he wanted to use as well. Could have been a licensing issue or in Cat Stevens’ case a superstitious issue.
