@pooface006 I'll give you a serious answer: It is the same reason that some musicians prefer tube amps. It gives a different sound. The album version of the song is very simple, and peculiar because it lacks Wait's signature growl. His live versions of the same song always use the megaphone, which accentuates the growl.
who comes to read the comments? anyway, i would like to take this opportunity that you are a whiny bitch. dont like it, dont read it. the real entertainment is upstairs man
Every artist on youtube is a god.....or they suck, all at the same time. Y'know what? nobody gives a fuck what any of you motherfuckers think. You're all a bunch of fucking morons arguing over stupid shit. I could of written this on just about any music video on this site.
I choose to simply listen and not vote on who is better than who.
cant wait for youtube without the comments, i come here to see waits and all the others, and to be inspired, i discovered einsturzende neubauten, lightnin hopkins, marc ribot, the zombies, and a million other great bands, and players through youtube, but all you cum dripping cunts and your stuck up comments allways get very close to ruining it...
shut the fuck up, and type in "snob" instead of "tom waits" when you do a search...
do you mean the stuck up comments like the one you posted? If you don't like 'em, don't read 'em. Try typing in "irony" next time you do a search and in the mean time, don't come on here and ruin what is supposed to be fun.
Then don't read them man, never heard someone whine so bad when you do it to yourself. you choose to read the comments upsetting yourself. So do you hate them or do you like the stimulation you get from all the " cum dripping cunts"?
you allready said that in abother post man, get over it...everyone knows captain beefheart. Tom Waits is still good to some people, why attept to undermine him? have you made a cd yet?
Waits is blues for those who don't know the blues, and affected "weirdness" (i.e. not actually weird) for normal college educated white people who think they're hip and "out there". A stale rehashing of Beat movement cliches. In this song Waits engages in some tired and lazily absurdist mocking of religion to please his would-be sophisticated secular audience, (those desperate to satisfy their self image of "coolness".)
Please explain what you consider to be weird and normal then? Or do you just write provocative stuff to get a rise from us all, cos its working a treat.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
man, i know i listen to waits to be cool. i hope his affected "weirdness" will make me appear more jaded and "weird" ... so i can be cool ;)
next maybe ill transcend his music and go online and bash his fans because i will have become even more abstract and since waits isnt fake enough for me all there is left to do is put a huge cock 8 inches into the side of my head.
@Newfuturion This song isn't just mocking religion for a "coolness" factor; he wrote it after seeing Easter candy with Bible verses printed on it. We all know you're part of the "normal college-educated white people" crowd (except maybe without the education part), so your pretentious comments really aren't going to make a difference. And if you're so keen to mock this music, why don't you come out with your own record? Apparently it would be the greatest achievement in human history.
@Newfuturion "secular" is superior to stupidity. I wouldn't knock it if I were you. All those modern conveniences you depend upon like cellphones, jet planes, antibiotics, and, yes, the internet, were developed by people employing reason and logic, not prayer and wishful thinking. Be a little bit more respectful, please. Secular doesn't need to feed its image of "coolness". It IS cool. If you don't think so, then the next time you wanna go to Honolulu, try praying yourself there.
I love waits and beefheart. I don't see any need to put someone down like that unless you want to feel better about your holier than thou music tastes. I think you just want to be better than everyone else.
I could picture this guy choking chickens.

@pooface006 It gives it a kinda controlled echo effect that he uses for the song, makes it sound folksy too

His lyrics are so amazing... If you look at it it's quite simple, but you just don't think of it. Tom Waits does all the thinking we lack to do.

Let's all agree to enjoy the music that sounds good to our ears.
Tom Waits isn't for everyone, we all have a different personality and the way we think and the things that make us tick are what make us who we are.
Be happy that you like the music that you like, and keep your nose out of others people's tastes if you don't like the smell.
Like music because you like the way it sounds, and nothing else, and we can all be satisfied, yeah? Like to debate? Get into politics.
No point arguing opinions
