  • Funny, because this song sounds so strange at first, and than you feel that there's nothing strange in it. Rockhard harmony.

  • Terrific song!!! I don't know what Silent Hill is, but for me this song conjures memories of some late nights at dingy little bars and/or German caberet (or is it cabaret?). Doesn't matter...what a singer!!!

  • I am amazed by just how GOOD such incredibly raw, simple music and lyrics can sound!

    Something about Waits music reminds me of Silent Hill for some reason...

  • rollin rollin rollin

  • Bloody great.

  • he is great PAST / TODAY / and the day after tomorrow

  • Followed this icon for more than 25 years--he's truly a phenomenon and international treasure. Wonderful in concert, funny, personable,truly concerned. Iconoclast...love him!

  • He just doesn`t make any compromises in his music. And yet, somehow, he seems to reach my hunger for different kind of emotional experiences i can feel while, listening to his songs.I admire him for that.

  • Happy birthday Tom!

  • maaaan.....wow wow wow....god blessssssss

  • sigue siendo de lo mejor

  • got too lurb the fleshy mcwaits

    lol

  • this is simply cool

  • he's the best

  • from which album is this song??does anyone know?

  • orphans : Brawlers

  • Orphans, Bawlers and Bastards.

    Highly recommended. My pick for album of the year that year. It's actually three albums of about 54 tracks.

    Legendary.

    Saw him in concert twice, once for this here tour for this here release.

    Excellence.

  • wow! its like a caricature of the buddy holly hiccup.

  • This is art.

  • I hope so.

    I'd hate to be watching some sort of pudding product.

  • get golum'd

  • essere mastro capoccia

  • I'd love to see "behind the scenes" of this vid.

  • that was hilarious. I like being able to see all the miscellaneous speakers that he has in the back round.

  • Tom Waits is God

  • I wouldn't go so far as to say that Tom Waits is God, however instead of picturing God as a big bearded old man or Morgan Freeman, I like to think that He's more like Tom in looks and personality.

  • i like to think of him as more of a rockin' prophet and his dog the supreme being

  • Yeah i mean look at Tom ... he is raising hell dancing left and right up and down , all over the place ... and the dog just sits there doing nothing! Fucking dog is bored

  • thats what you get when your the alpha and omega

  • I don't think I've ever heard a song by Tom Waits where his voice sounds the same...

    Though I haven't really heard too many songs...

  • Tom Waits is actually a band of three people.

    Two of them look, talk, think, act, and are the same.

    So does the other one.

  • Huh??

  • this comment followed by the response from "mlup" is the best idle chit chat i have ever read on youtube..fucking quality, lmao!!! totally in harmony with such innocent humour..ha

  • god do love him lol great viddy ,kareblue;o)

  • video done really well with the pics matchin the rythm of the song

  • tom waits rocks!!!!!!!!!he is a legend amongst us mere motals!

  • Dios-Tom Waits-TodoloDeMas

  • Tom Waits es Dios

  • Man, what a rocker Tom is!! If I had tickets for the Stones, Zepplin, The Who, I would exchange the lot just to see this man, the greatest entertainer on planet earth.

  • that mikemcpops, what an idiot

  • Brilliant

  • How does he do that? Its like im a dog... and i wanna fuck and im in the streets hungry and horny looking for good bitches to get some...and i love it while im doing it...this is how this song makes me feel...this is sexy!!

  • I think you should see a shrink......

  • Tom Waits is the sex.

  • tom waits is a lifetime is his own legend^^

  • this is good shit..i dig the spazzy drunk voice and video..and i'm drunk too haha

  • sooooooooo cooll... when your stoned!!

    tom waits, living legend.

  • Tom, ever since it rained dogs, I've been hooked. I was fan before then but RAIN DOGS did it.

    Thank You for your genius.

  • Lo mejor de este video es el hermoso perro que aparece...(no es zoofilia)...Ahhh el video es interesante, como lo hicieron? =Nadie sabe spanish?

  • What the fuck are you talking about?

  • I think Tom would read 7 or 8 of these comments, laugh himself silly and write a song about how stupid we are. :)

  • Great song!!

  • You don't need to make a fortune to make good music.. the amount of money you make doesn't amount to how good your music is. Just look at mainstream music today. Are you saying 50 cent and Britney Spears make good music? Tom Waits always kept his musical integrity, and never felt he had to go commercial to be a great musician. He just stayed true to what he loves, which is what makes good music.

  • you have absolutely no idea what your talking about do you?

  • ugh you ignorant moron he was the son of two teachers!!! now i dont know any trailer trash that have teachers as parents! do yourself a favour and look things up before you spout your crap

  • jilipollas

  • How is protecting his musical identity being greedy? If he was just in it for the $ then he sure as hell wouldn't be Tom Waits.

  • imho your opinion is null and void.saw waits in dublin a few weeks ago,best gig i've been to and probably best gig i'll ever have the pleasure of attending

  • Perhaps you should look up Tom's appearance on Letterman when once he related about his being the driver for his kid's class on a field trip to various places. Moreover, he's said himself that he prefers writing songs and stories about broken and broken-down characters. Christ, if you're a fan who knows anything about his stuff, you'd already realize that. No one surrounds him at the music store in the piano section, but at the junkyard? 8 guys come up to him asking for autographs and all.

  • Sweet fucking christ is that incoherent.

  • it´s scary that a song can be this good^^

  • Hell yes, Tom waits is the shit.

  • This song makes me want to dance like a maniac. I love it. <3

  • Slurpy & slimy.

    Great audio, unlike most vids here.

  • I have no problem with people having different opinions but people like MsNeverQuit just seem to hang out on the Tom Waits videos just for the purpose of trolling and inflaming people. Criticize what and who you want, but geez get a life if you're just doing it to piss people off.

  • sounds like the cheap motel we all wish we were in

  • i could of sworn the first time i saw this it was in color and without the negatives border, at least, thats how i saw it.

  • Look this man is a genius....His songs are great and he is a poet....Thank you...Greece here...

  • More like a society asleep on the couch. Too lazy to create a change and too egocentric to follow a tradition is more like it. Even the most inventive musicians were never supported by this country, they had to go to Europe....This guy isn't exactly welcomed anywhere EXCEPT among the pierced, tattoo'd and tangled on this planet..

  • Or except among us on other planets. We love this, and cannot live without it!

  • Right. Because obviously Lead Belly, Chuck Berry, Aretha Franklin, Bob Dylan and Lou Reed/Velvet Underground were never appreciated in America and had to go to Europe.

    Way to show your ignorance.

  • I don't care what you all think,I think this is a beautiful song:)♥

    Cheers to you my dear Tom!

  • Talent-starved is more like it. We have become a society mired in mediocrity, and that includes the performing arts. Thankfully the innovators, though few and far between, shine through occasionally. Mr Waits foremost in my mind when I say this, of course. I take no issue with what you say. Being a child of the '60's, all I can say is "Peace, brother."

  • Regardless of what one thinks of Mr. Waits' music, it is undeniable that he has pursued his own course, and crafted a unique niche for himself. He is considered a performer's performer, much respected by his peers, adored by his fans. People like myself who have followed him since the early days, consider themselves fortunate to have witnessed his many metamorphoses. Remember, musical snobbery is one sign of a closed mind.

  • Surely no child of the '60's could possibly be called a Drones? We were the first independent thinkers of the century. Of course he was booed at the Troubadour. Those were the days of drug-addled hippie wannbe's, and forgettable bands like the Strawberry Alarm Clock. The reality of Haight-Ashbury, was squalor and vomiting heroin addicts. Even though he's rooted in the past, Mr. Waits has always been ahead of his time. Unfortunately, the world is beginning to catch on. More's the pity.

  • You have REALLY left-field insults, it's actually kinda fun to read.

  • When yer thirty something someone will diss yer shit too.

    Pinch it off and get off the pot.

  • I would but I'm afraid you can't swim.

  • Some get the genius, some just don't.

  • if msneverquit even knew who Tom Waits was, he would maybe understand. and i think he said.. Tom cant get work?! seriously man, learn something. Tom Waits has more money, and has been more places then you will ever have or can go in your whole life. learn something about Tom Waits before posting comments that make you look like a pathetic loser that doesnt know the first thing about Tom Waits.

  • hey msneverquit, if you don't like tom waits so much then why have you posted multiple comments on every single tom waits video? don't bother responding to my comment, i have a life, and won't be around to read it! you know it's friday buddy, why don't you put the computer down and try to get laid!..and youporn doesn't count either

  • hahah you porn

  • You can put any music behind his voice and chances are you'll have some awesomely chunky, beef and beef chunk stew. Tommy 'the cat' deserves mad props!

  • you idiot, he probably couldn't give a fuck about the "shitEgiest" he is irreverent and interesting, unlike most pop culture, who gives a fuck what u think anyway, why don't u post us a link to ur brillant art, and if you don't like it, dont comment, peanut head

  • amazing. where can i download thiss?`

  • Tom waits is a certified badass

  • Tom Waits is AWESOME. I've spent the last 10 years collecting live TW bootlegs and have almost 200 complete concerts. He fkin ROCKS!

  • for the newbies,

    a must own is one of his earliest efforts, "swordfishtrombone".

  • Definitely! That is one of my favorite Tom Waits albums ever. I love "Gin Soaked Boy" "Soldier's Things" "Down, Down, Down" and "Swordfishtrombone". All great songs. It's probably my second favorite Tom Waits album right after Real Gone.

  • Like Elvis but cooler. Toms cooler then most.

  • me five- had a friend in 1982 who was a big fan, but I never caught on till now after I bought my first cd and really listened to his lyrics and musicians. All F´kin awesome. Pure genius and I appreciate it more than words can express. Glad I became a fan.

    Excellent song!

  • O cholera. To mnie powala

  • People, please mark killyourinternet's messages, and the messages of the few other prophets of the anti-Internet crusade as spam, because that's what they are. Repeating the same slogans over and over, on almost all Waits videos; these spammers (or spammer with multiple accounts?) should be treated as such. Don't reply to them, mark them as SPAM.

  • Amen

  • And i love all the comments you made, from speramtozoos to amoebas and already dead ones :) really funny

  • personally i could do without humanity.

  • still there? you've been glued to that laptop for the past ...what? Six months? Maybe that's why you hope everybody gets off the internet, so you'll have a further reason to get off, too? naaah, you wouldn't get off the web even then...you would stay here blathering nonsense...while being AT THE physician for an endless check.

    STOP THE MADNESS!

  • Physicists abhor vacuums. On the first day, any smart one would listen to Tom Waits.

  • Stephen Hawking loves Tom Waits

  • video is very good...

  • flam cam.

  • Holy Friggin' WOW....

    This guy's got a bright future...

  • who did the video for this? is this an official one? its cool, but i prefer the one for i don't wanna grow up.

    any one heard of a guy called charlie khan? if you like mr waits you should check that out. type charlie khan into the search bar and it should come up

  • i am two years old,and have been listening to Thomas since i was one!!

  • I'm 2 days old and I LOVE!!! Tom.

  • i died years ago and i still love tom waits

  • i died years ago and i still love tom waits

  • N0T FUNNY.

  • Im a fetus and I Ive been listening to Tom Waits since the sperm fertilized the egg.

  • I always thought Waits was good fetal music.

  • Yah.

  • I'm the sperm swimming inside the testicles that will fertilize an egg 2 years from now, and I listen to Tom Waits all the time.

  • Excellent. I used to know an amoeba just down the road from me that over the course of several billion years would evolve into human form, and it was a bit of a Tom Waits fan, though to be fair I think it preferred Neil Young.

  • Excellent. I used to know an amoeba just down the road from me that over the course of several billion years would evolve into human form, and it was a bit of a Tom Waits fan, though to be fair I think it preferred Neil Young.

  • That's impressive. Most of the protozoa I meet and work with don't have such good taste in music.

  • okay... why is everyone announcing their ages??

  • umm because there is this tool who constantly writes how tom waits should be off the internet and so on, and so i said the more he is commercialised the more people know about him and if just one of my friends (who are all fifteen) knew about him i would rejoice. So everyone was like well i am this age and i am this age, to prove to me there are young tom waits fans and restore my dwindling faith in my generation..!!!!

  • haha okay. :)

    i'm 14 if that heps your cause. lol

  • it helps alot...WOOO POWER TO THE PEOPLE, YEA!

  • Head full of bourbon

  • This is an insult to Tom Waits' genius!

  • No! This IS Tom Waits' genius!

  • This is a rendition void of Tom Waits soul.

  • I'm 8 and a half

  • i'm 14!

  • great song! What album?

  • If I remember correctly it's from the "Brawlers" disc of "Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers, and Bastards".

  • It is. Not sure if It's brawlers, but its on the album. I think this is my favorite song on the whole album other than "Lucinda".

  • LUCINDA IS A FUCKING AMAZING SONG. The whole album is great though.

  • Great?????!!!

  • Too bad he won't come to moscow. A know thousands of his true fans here.

  • i ment to reply that to cryifillus or who ever. confused? just act confused...

  • theres a moscow in russia as well as idaho

  • People will keep posting, count on it.

  • Yes, well I'm talking about the fact that there is no mainstream genre any more. I don't know enough about the corporate structure of the music industry to make an educated opinion on the subject.
