Tom Waits - God's Away On Business

[thisxdamnxgood]

The only good thing to come from Enron - I now know about this song.

[youknowsheshalfcrazy]

Sounds like a nightmare created by Tim Burton, sung by the devil, personified by this freaky old genius. I love you, Mr Waits.

[arythewyvern]

Dat voice.

[Maetel22]

I've pinpointed Tom Waits' genre. "Topical Avante Garde Industrial Jazz", on the more wild end, even of that spectrum.

[Funmosh]

Thumbs up if alls you can think of is the cookie monster video with this.

[kovulover]

If Megatron could sing...

[indalcecio]

I like some of his songs, but never liked Waits much, and this is why. "His voice is just like that" isn't true, he deliberately makes it more raspy, which is kind of a phony thing to do IMO.

[Dillbob1]

@indalcecio Sure he makes it a little more raspy and deep when he sings, but he really does have a naturally raspy voice, all you need to do is watch interviews of him, even back in the 70's he did

[gurshark]

@indalcecio Who the hell cares what you think? Idiot.

[rayvenworks]

This is awesome, but it totally sounds like it belongs on "Steamboat Willie from Hell".

[levanyzzuf]

Who does this guy think he is, Cookie Monster?

[reversecolin1256788]

@levanyzzuf look it up there anawasome video to that effect

Cash Plus theme song.

[hockeyfan407]

@whereeaglesdontdare

i agree! haha, i was trying to take it seriously, but it just kept reminding me of something the muppets would sing on muppet treasure island or something. i think it was just the extra gruffness

[Hoobler99]

This song is the best.

[skruvenblg]

Is there any name on this genre of music, like this song and We're all mad?

[LilyHunt]

I wish Supernatural had picked this up when they were doing that story arc with the rogue angels and the Apocalypse That Took Forever To Happen. lol

[deadbrain99]

I don't know why but this reminds me of grimmer, darker, and much crazier version of Neverhood soundtrack...maybe it's the pace and instrumentals.

[bluefeykate]

@whereeaglesdontdare i guess it didnt work i was trying to say i love cookie monster XD

[bluefeykate]

@whereeaglesdontdare

[bryanbhu]

You know, I get overlapping images of the Nightmare Before Christmas opening sequence when listen to this. It's in the same nightmarish vain as that one with similar syncopation.

[ranXerox09]

What is the message of that lyric?

[LocoRico89]

Soundtrack of my life. RIP USA 1776-2010
