  • not that i'm complaining, buts whats with the woman's tits at the 2:00 min mark? they just appeared out of nowhere

  • when you mix these, warm becomes cold, cold becomes warmer.

  • John Lurie on sax?

  • This fucking cat can sing about anything and make it sound awesome. There is some great imagery in his lyrics if you closely listen. BTW whats up with the naked broad in his jacket pocket? :D

  • @TheSeph1984  He's not a cat if anything he's a drunk wolf thats howling at the moon

  • thats why german drink lot of beer?

  • This song makes me want to have EVERY KIND of sex , from passionate - to angry - to drunk - to reconciliatory - and finally just the insane 9 am kind on the bathroom floor

  • He has a picture of a naked woman in his coat.

  • Give it up for the Saxman

  • Tom Waits is an amazing songwriter. He always was, is, and will be. But his singing has changed drastically since the 70's and 80's. The same thing happened to him that happened to Bob Dylan, he lost his old voice

  • @TheGhost897 They discontinued drugs and alkochl, at the expense of their voice. But thanks still alive;)

  • Who does this remind me of?.. Nobody, it's unique.

  • I really want Waits to do a duet with Rowlf :P

  • 19 people were too drunk to remember which "thumbs up/down" is "like"

  • This man really knows how to deliver! If you enjoy the music of Tom Waits you should check out my cover of Chocolate Jesus on my channel.

  • This makes me wanna cool a beer and warm a woman...

  • What genre of music is this? I want to listen to more stuff just like this song

  • @imacooldude506 Its just Tom Waits. He is the Genre.

    

  • @CaptainBrown11 That is shockingly untrue and unhelpful.

  • @imacooldude506 nope. It's the Tom Waits style. "psychedelic rockabilly polka satanic raspy beat generation lounge singer" as earthwormjah said 

  • @imacooldude506 Perhaps if you look for psychedelic rockabilly polka satanic raspy beat generation lounge singers you might have some luck.

  • tom :)

  • @Nichi- Don't let that one slip away. I'm still looking for mine!

  • Don't you just love tom

  • he influences my music so much, reverbnation com / twelvestring

  • I'm drinking cold beer Tom but it doesn't change the second thing...cold women...

  • Thank you Waits. I needed that.

  • and little red heads.............lalalalalala­ a a a a

  • life is so depressing! this song reminds me of the dark, eerie and fun times i had in new orleans pre katrina.

  • Tom Waits at the piano has a draw...it takes a while to warm up to his voice but his lyrics are good.

  • How about some English subtitles....

  • make her your next exwife...nichi...

  • every christmas is lonely

    

  • thank you so much for uploading this. greetings from lisbon, portugal!

  • man love this guy. the saying " looks like a tom waits song" has some much more meaning now.

  • Porn in his pocket, Tom Waits is the man

  • 5am bus journey on the way home from a night shift, got no girlfriend, no money to get a girlfriend, not much sign of getting the money to get a girlfriend in the near future, stick tom waits on the ipod and it all seems kind of fun!

  • @joecrib Mr Waits goes well between 2am and 6!

  • @joecrib you could sell your ipod

  • @joecrib I hear that in some places it is no longer necessary to purchase women with money?

  • @joecrib All you're missing is whiskey and cigarettes

  • 17 people had ice cold beers

  • 17 people should jump off a cliff.

  • anybody knows something about him? i mean in the last years (sorry for the ortography, i'm spanish)

  • Comment removed

  • I just love tom lifts my soul The best

  • I know love won't come back, but while I listen to this I don't give a crap about it.

  • @Ryukkami ...i think towards the latter parts...he was becoming more focused on his stage stuff......it left the realm of pure music....into a mix of stage and theatre and music.....

  • It's weird, working through Waits's catalogue backwards like I am, to hear him starting like this. Still wonderful though, like every stage of his career.

  • tits in his pocket ... should have been a lyric from him ...Love ya mannn

  • last weekend i met a girl at a party, we talked and drank scotch. while sitting at a fire and looking up to the nightsky she said "damn id like to listen to tom waits right now!"

    i just thought : dude, that is your girl!

  • @NichiYobi350Z lucky bastard!

  • @Mvroberto i'll take that as a compliment ;)

  • @NichiYobi350Z hehehe  :)

  • @NichiYobi350Z tell her your his cousin.....and buy a cheap piano....

  • @NichiYobi350Z so....?! did you woo her??

  • @caughtinacadence sorry. poor german boy doesnt know what "woo" is :)

  • @NichiYobi350Z woo/wo͞o/Verb

    1. Try to gain the love of (someone, typically a woman), esp. with a view to marriage.

    2. Seek the favor, support, or custom of: "pop stars are wooed by film companies"

  • @caughtinacadence ok thanks for the explanation. and i didn't woo her yet. but you're right, i should as soon as possible.

  • @NichiYobi350Z Woo her then smash it up good luck boy

  • @NichiYobi350Z It's been 2 months dude, you break up yet?

  • @TheWitcherFanboy to put it in toms words:

    it got along very well for a time. but then she made it rain and today shes just the perfect martha.

    i think ill call her in 40 years.

    damn this song fits better than ever

  • @NichiYobi350Z jealous.

  • @NichiYobi350Z Thats a keeper

  • @NichiYobi350Z No contest mate :-)

  • @NichiYobi350Z marry her

  • just found out a girl i've chased for 6 years has a bf.. listening to this eases the pain :D

  • @NichiYobi350Z Holy shit. I sure hope you have that girl by now.

  • @NichiYobi350Z

    shit, and I NEVER click like :)

  • @NichiYobi350Z atta boy. think i found one just like that too.

  • @TheDaleDenton Sorry guys, that was the same girl.

  • @NichiYobi350Z you were drunk..

  • @NichiYobi350Z Where is this utopia you speak of?

  • @NichiYobi350Z she had me at scotch.

  • So true

  • Well, I just learned some more jazz parlance. There's no doubt he's very good. To me he seems to be cutting across it a bit toward the end though. No doubt I'm the only one who thinks that, I usually am.

    Just getting into Tom Waits, so I'm a noob anyway ;)

  • Thank you, Tom!

    

  • lol whats up with the random tits?

  • Waits, Jarmusch, Kaurismäki and Wenders they all have something in common...

  • this contra bass player better have a name when i refresh, he's got some real power feel. excellent.

  • HOT !

  • That bass player is killing it!!!!!!!  Does anyone know who he is?

  • @dizzypeanut I agree, much too busy. Shame.

  • @G0IFI Actually, you completely misunderstood me. That guy is killing it in the way that James Brown kills it, in that he's a funky muthaf*cker. He's playing all this Ray Brown shit under the sax solo, but stays out of the way of the song. He's so slick!

  • @dizzypeanut bingo

  • @dizzypeanut

    Fitz Jenkins, TW's regular bass player at that time.

  • tom waits is crazy..bet he's a hell of a guy to spend an evening with

  • Tom is timeless!

    

  • @famron Yes indeed. I've been listening to THIS album since 1976ish and it is one of my all time faves. I introduce friends to this genius.

    Tom was only 25 when he wrote and performed Nighthawks. Brilliant!!!!

  • Sometimes you need the burn of a shot of Four Roses.

  • Want the piano music for this so badly...

  • This video makes me want to see Tom Waits perform live

  • every time i listen to this song i get a boner!

  • @LittleTonnie you should seek pro help for that. 

  • Very cool!!!

  • love love LOVE this! His voice is like gravel but I like it...it's ok to have a crush on 1976 Tom Waits right?

  • love love LOVE this! His voice is like gravel but I like it...it's ok to have a crush on 1976 Tom Waits right?

  • Now I need a beer and a shot of cheap Whiskey!

  • Comment removed

  • @cuyahogajoe1

    Life's too short to drink cheap whiskey!

  • Für mich einer der größten Musiker/Entertainer aller Zeiten! 

  • The "last ditch attempt saloon.."

    Pure poetry, pure genius.

  • Nice pocket magazine!

  • pure grave voice love this man without question

  • "*grumble* Let's see uh... Well y'know...'s kind of a tortured song,s was written primarily for piano and fire extinguishers nuh... *grumbles some more*"

    You gotta love that shit!

  • and cold boys buddy Tom.

  • lol hes got tits in his pocket haha

  • Listening to this song, and having a Bulleit, and afterwards I'm going to listen to Sunset Rubdown's "Silver Moons" - for whatever reason, I've decided that these songs cosmically connect...Cheers everyone, to Tom Waits!

  • he has the coolest gravel voice ever

  • Hehe funny how they have translated the song...

  • The drinks are on me tonight!

  • God, what wonderful melody. This guy is the best.

  • Its amazing to think that Tom Waits was ever a young and naive boy.

  • platina blondes and tobaco brunettes

  • whats with the magazine in his pocket XD lol

  • @hentaimaid hehe yeah I was wondering about that too... maybe he just did it just because he was allowed to in Denmark... :)

  • really cool song

  • his fingers are crazy bent.

  • The saxman is on point :)

  • super ultra uber like. sigh... its so damn good. i almost forgot that music could do this

  • Listen to those piano chords...the whole thing....absolutely gorgeous tune.

  • who's the sax player?

  • @Diabeticuss

    I believe that is Frank Vicari...beautiful player, ain't he? I think he used to play in Woody Herman's band. You have to thank the people that hooked these guys up together....like casting directors...masters of their field. I have some great Frank on bootleg concerts with tom.

  • I like this guy, he seems a bit wild and crazy, but that's cool too.

  • Thumbs up for the "adult magazin" in his pocket!!!:D

  • happy birthday, Tom!

  • i mean he's got the style and the clothes, just not the face, or the grace

  • the voice sounding"like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon,left hanging in the smoke house for a few months,and then taken outside and run over with a car.

    genius.

  • im really late to Tom Waits....but i feel this one on the inside...great song

  • @bizel78

    PIck up Small Change...unreal. Later stuff...absolutely get Mule Variations, Alice,....

    One From The Heart.(the one with the black edged cover and shot of vegas street-it has deleted songs) Bone Machine....Franks Wild Years....then you're on yer own...

  • The full encapsulation of being drunk and lonely. The song makes it feel pretty good though.

  • I like the piano, but the look of his hands playing it makes me shudder. XD

  • @drgnfrddd He uses Horowitz's approach to piano technique :-)

  • @lehrent is horowitz's approach self taught? I heard TW taught himself how to play the piano.

  • 14 Beiber fans have watched this video.

  • Makes me think of a lonely Christmas.

  • I don't know if I have ever seen anyone with fingers that hyper extend the way his do when he is playing the piano.

  • Holy Jesus he was younger there. Goes to show you that you should give some leeway to young people with passion. The man is a legend now.

  • I really like his hat. ^_^

  • Well done, Mr. Waits.

  • Can't do that these days Tom... :(

  • The black guy is in the piano.

  • @davo235467 i know that feeling.

  • @davo235467 tom has that quality... he makes a bad moment good and a good moment even better....

    now if you spice it with a cold beer and a warm woman.... that my friend... that leads to perfection.

  • @davo235467 ...the only thing i see thats maybe wrong...is your girlfriend left ya....and that aint all the time a bad thing......you got a new home.....your starting to study architecture.....got a smoke and some bourbon...and listening to waits.....count your blessings....
