Tom Waits - Cemetery Polka

[UncleFexxer]

Hey... you clipped it... WTF??  Oh well... awesome video still... LIKE

[deltaomegaable]

great video and song

[ffairlane57]

I taught Tyler my pet boxer to sing this song....he has the perfect voice.

[zorth42]

tom waits has a lot of uncles

[Nimrodel84]

This video is very very nice! And Tom Waits is a genius, but we knew that.

[TarantulaTown]

"Uncle Phil can't live without his pills, he has emphysema and he's almost blind"

Shit, Will and Carlton have their work cut out for them...

[AaronDiMaria]

@TarantulaTown  LMAO hahahaha

[sadnacman]

Great animation man. I could imagine in the opening of closing credits for a movie.... great stuff.

[poeticamor]

disturbing.

Me likes

[JLWing77]

I clicked like not because I care for this particular Tom Waits song so much as I was mesmerized and thoroughly entertained by the video itself. Bravo, guy.

[vagelistheodourou]

nice video man..!!

[Psychonaut2021]

23 people could not find uncle Phils money.

[Sibbycat]

@Psychonaut2021 Maybe auntie Mame offended them.

[Pikatchu206]

Very nice :)

[veseriajen]

best homemade youtube video i've seen thus far. well done.  also, i love this song. 2 thumbs up.

[isushman]

The theme music for the Angry Birds Game sounds just like this. Does Tom Waits know or care?

[Su1c1deK1ngI3]

Not only a great song choice, but this is some of the best kinetic typography out there. Thanks for the great work!

[vrem]

cool song but i dunno why tom waits would reference harry potter's uncle in one of his songs. just seems out of place

[Jensalra]

@vrem The song's from the 80s so I think it's the other way around

[inasaga21]

Well done good sir.

[TheReegar]

great video, really enjoyed it. nice one!!;)

[FragileLittleAngel]

hehe, tom waits songs can not have a normal video with lyrics! lovely ^_^

[Arv1160]

Good job... :)

[FenrirLupei]

Your usage of typography is astounding. It's refreshing to see someone who doesn't just stick the words up there but actually uses them as an animated element to reinforce the tempo and mood of the song.

[Necro0000]

Nice..



[wintersleepfan]

Wow! I just adore what you did with this song. Amazing vid man!!

[LadyeXo]

I absolutely adore this song. He played in a movie recently called "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. He was hot when he was young, but that voice will never cease to give me goosebumps!

[deadnlovely]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[J5schn1tz]

All I can say is wow of that vid

[FiveofHearts1]

Wonderfully done. I love Tom Waits.

[JohnMcCarthy4k]

This is cool. Thought it would be boring at first but it is done very well! Particularly liked the 'egg' and 'wooden leg'! Props

[maadmaestro]

Love to have heard the end of it......brilliant vid too!

[sourxtimes]

Excellent work.

[WhisperwindPancake]

Weirdest song ever XD

[TheObsidianNightfall]

superb...

[TotalHenshin]

I like the video a lot, but I'm just wondering, why did you cut off the final line?

[VAVER9000]

This visualisation of the Tom's Polka is soo good. None of them I liked so much as yours.

[TomWaitsTV]

I really liked your video and added it to the unofficial video section of my Tom Waits Website. I hope it's ok, if not let me know and I'll remove it.

[MrBuendia100]

This is so professional! I know Tom would approve!

[pnice000]

Fantastic Job! I'm sure Tom (I call him Tom) would very much approve

[DrummingMofo]

Tom Waits @ Genius, Pure Genius. and im only 16 years old. most kids my age would say.. "Tom who?" i find it sad really, i just say to them.. "You dont know what your missing"

[mylulac]

Good for you!! You have great taste! They don't know what they're missing. Maybe they just need a little more maturaty.

[ScourgeTube]

i just watched this three times so what does that tell you...

great job, man.

[ShinsKrasins]

holy hell, good job.

[telecaster1963]

Good taste, young man.

[k0ndem0r]

Very well done, thanks for sharing.

good job :.D

[rhogmp]

Awesome!

[spottedbeetle]

this is rather fab.

[drawdem]

Hey, Tim Burton style. Great song/video.

[Andronicus2007]

This song is totally insane! Bravo!!!!!!

[jimatanga]

Is nice to see this kind of things!! Quite good job.

[TelekinesisB]

Great, helps me a lot with understanding the lyrics.

[pixies451]

excellent!!!!!

[Roguemarlfox]

my hat is off to you, sir.

[ctdjazz]

I usually don't like videos that totally spell out a song, but I absolutely love this video. Great job.

[volvojensen]

this is totaly arwesome!!

goog job dude

[Newsted85]

great song

[didicrevel86]

Good job, man. Can you do the same with other songs in Rain Dogs like jokey full of Burbon?

[as9dfj88dfjs]

If I could I'd do his whole discography. But I'm only one man and a busy one at that. But who knows...

[Iissafaith]

Hey, this is pretty cool! I like this - and even though you had a couple of the lyrics mixed up (I'm a huge Waits fan, I pay close attention to his amazing lyrics), that is a very inventive way to present it. Thanks for sharing that. Anything that exposes this great talent to more people is just wonderful. :)

[Abrecanx]

magnifique

[reydavies]

WICKED

[bstumer]

Great stuff!!!

[TheResource1976]

That is some heavy shit right there

[rihwawon]

I haven't seen the original video and don't even want to see now. I'm afraid, it's going to be not as good as yours. Thank you. Great job.

[manwithoutabody]

Damn good.

[getinmyhead]

i love this viddy! i wonder if tom has seen it? i recently became a big fan of his work... i think i never have a problem understanding him because he has a voice u would hear in death metal and i grew up on that... tom waits is far far beyond a genre! he's a fuckin genious and i've heard he's insane.. i love him all the same tho.

[hejbajsklick]

Great song!

Nice video:)

[samikarad]

Very nice stuff. :)

[tadpolecoupon]

wonderful!

[LordOfTheUsernames]

i'm so glad someone made something like this

i love wait's voice but i sometimes have problems uinderstanding what he's saying and that's such a shame cuz his lyrics are amazing

[AceAudacious]

At last an original fan vid that doesn't suck

[CarmelitaLeFink]

Brilliant! For some reason, this reminds me of the movie version of A Series of Unfortunate Events! This is really cool!!

[HotRockNSteel]

class, this is well made dude.

[ashotinthedark10]

this is really great. well done, man. what program did you use?

[Creamtangerine]

[1955Holland]

[bhdrcool]

[Creamtangerine]

I just watched this again! So glad it's in my favourites! Great video and great song as usual Tom Waits surpasses even himself! *

[frosty121278]

ya, seriously, thank you for making this. you are exhibiting mad skills

[KaceKlosed]

Yeah nice theme - maybe a few more illustrative effects rather than too many words... anyway good job.

[AJM8312]

I love how Waits' music always seens to outline Charecters or even entire stories that could be developed into a novella, or an original story

[bendersblues]

Sweet.

[0VotumSeparatum0]

Outstanding!

[rcoasterk22]

I've said this before but it deserves to be said again. Awesome job, you capture the mood of the song perfectly.

[Creamtangerine]

YAY! Thanks for this!

[pekkapuckot]

brilliant vid

[hfcircusfilms]

Haha. That's pimp shit. I love it. What album is this song from?... if it's even on one.

[superroff]

You'll find it on Tom's 1985 album 'Rain Dogs' - much recommended :-)

[MacMasterSwindle]

Excellent work man -fits it perfectly! Can't think of a better video for a song with brilliant lines like this!

[purple66haze]

*Nice* work.

[DSU42]

That was awesome. I enjoyed that very much.

[moevanvera]

Bello bello bello!!!

[SATANBOT3000]

great coordination

[W1zzar3]

fri:kin' o:som

[znajka]

I really like it!!! Too bad there's no ending to it...

[rrottner]

Beautifull.

[black1atrax]

dude that's fu....' awesome...

[Kicki91]

Wow. Great job!

[datapanikinyearzero]

Excellent job

[marthe87]

Wow, really really good job!

[Numachan01]

That was amazing! 5/5!

[IWantCakePictures]

Quite excellent. Gives a terrific song a terrific interpretation.

As an amateur filmmaker (you can check out my videos), I should learn all these cool visual effects tools (After Effects, etc.)

[Astrotoy7]

good job....i love that song :)

[passenger6x3]

nice.. i love it...

[Enzen0]

Matched the mood of the song very much.

Très bon.

[pengwenworks]

beautiful. you have succeeded in doing much justice to both the song and the artist. hats off to you!

[BelovedSpear]

Masterful. Blessings, my child.

[Ganni86]

Great video for a great song. You're very good.

[emosucksFTW]

Damn good job!

[yodellingbren]

fantastic. Well done

[thendofthend27]

that was plain beautiful.

[Bignosetw]

Great stuff. Did you do it in Flash?

[as9dfj88dfjs]

This project would have been a pain in Flash IMO...

The graphics were prepared in Adobe Illustrator, and the animation was done in Adobe After Effects

[sistaspooky1013]

meloves this one!

[stustuartart]

nicely done

[gerryiam]

AMAZING. great animation and timing matched to a song by a true legend. im sure if he saw this he'd be honoured. thanks and keep up the good work

[Mischa77]

Very entertaining. I wonder if TOM has seen this yet

[rcoasterk22]

AMAZING animation, the mood is like roachbonefish said perfect and the timing is perfect too. One of my personal favorite songs as well, so creepy but so good.

[roachbonefish]

Oh, this is priceless. You captured the mood of the song beautifully--not too serious; not too flippant.

[as9dfj88dfjs]

Thank you.

if anyone is interested in having me do a project for them, please leave your email or a message and I will get back to you.

[ZigZagWanderer]

Great animation !
