[taxtard3]

raidue = italian tv channel!!

ma tom waits alla rai?!?!?! madonna se la rai è cambiata!!! allora qualcosa di buono prima lo combinavano !!!

grazie edizik!!

[Mrsilenciobackgammon]

Farley Granger died today. Reading that got this song in my head. He was one of the greats. So is this song.

[Titilebesst]

Probably the best video on youtube

[pigletized]

People that don'y like this guy would rather spank their little weenie listening to the crud of 2010. So little good music today. Music is generic for generic people and used to make money. It sucks.

[pigletized]

One of Planet Earths Greatest Artists.

[Crstn4440]

the best version of this song ever!

[lumpagogo]

Tom Waits

Go away

Do not come back

No other day

On Tom tombstone

It will say:

"Tom violated

Burma Shave"

[securitas4142]

twinkle twinkle one eyed car whe all wonder where you are

BURMA SHAVE

[PincoPallonzio]

where is this take from?!? Raidue is the second national italian tv channel!

[ozeangruen]

I ve got Burma shave in my bathroom

[CentipedeDamascus]

At intersections / Look each way / A harp sounds nice / But it's / Hard to play / Burma-Shave

[lumpagogo]

This song

Is all wrong

Mumbo-jumbo

Mumble-jumble

Tom is "lost in space."

Burma Shave was concept,

Not a place

[CentipedeDamascus]

your criticism

is out of whack

Tom knows Burma-Shave

like his hand's back

[lumpagogo]

"What we've got heeeere...."

Cannot be cheered

Tom "Long" Waits

Is not great

All noise, faux poise

All swirl, not of the world:

Weeps Burma Shave

[gumboyaya6]

"her hair spilled down like root beer..."

oh. yeah. Tom Waits.

[RobbieIsRob]

best version of this song ive ever heard.... my balls weep LOL

[ThePigeonDetective2]

geez what is this crowd, clap in every silence?

great performance

[jettbugg]

Great live performance!

[pearlynx]

Such a beautiful and sad song.... "it's a sad and beautiful world," as Roberto Benigni says in Down by Law.

Definitely one of Waits' best story-songs, and that is saying a lot. I adore this man.

[LipanConjures]

Brilliant!

[EPThorn]

Around / The curve / Lickety-split / A beautiful car / Wasn't it? / Burma Shave

[miznarik]

See cupcake if he can ask butter of

Germans, seen vile never been stun cut

by a grandpa-rat.

Point to teo: still caped

rise from ashes

guilty man for judgment

guilty man of masturbatory filth and sadness

[jackfame]

Utterly brilliant and moving . . . words can't convey how good it is.

[AphroditesChild]

what a great performance.better than the original

[georjec]

Tom is a genius...and thank god for the internet and youtube !

[NineInchNaiIs]

I like the chewbacca solo at the end.

[Dagonchicken]

I see what everyone's saying about the internet dampening our appreciation for music, but the internet is where I discovered Tom Waits, and I positively could not live without his music now. If I knew where to buy all this stuff, I would have. But he's not around in abundance at my local FYE. Just saying.

[gimmeadollr]

I agree completely. I heard this song for the first time a few minutes ago and it's one of my favorite songs now.

[DirkjeA]

listen to the song:Invitation to the blues,

thats a killer also.

[gimmeadollr]

great song just listened to it

[RobbieIsRob]

just incredible...the great thing about the internet is that people who may never have heard of this transcendant genius may happen across this and bring something beautiful into their lives...this is my fav song and version...keep em' coming...

[FellmanBaines]

get Waits OFF THE INTERNET.

die youtube, die google, die myspace, die internet.

long live art, humanity, and waits.

[karl198]

If the internet is so bad why are you using it so damn much ¬_¬

FOOL

[GilsMusic]

Beautiful! Thanks for posting! Check out some of my Tom Waits covers. 5*****

[MonkeylessJohn]

I could watch this a million times!!!

[FellmanBaines]

i can i could puke a million times each time i see Waits' work displayed on youtube...

die internet, long live art, humanity, and waits.

[gjk0005]

sorry but my life is richer for this stuff on youtube

you're always welcome to join the indigenous people of some african tribe, if you're really that anti-technology.

[killyourinternet]

not anti-technology... anti cyberspace.

[NeverReality]

I'm anti stupidity, so get the fuck out.

Seriously, do you even know what Cyberspace is? Get lost. If you're so anti technology then do it with actions not bitching using the very same thing you're complaining about.

[DirkjeA]

Dont watch it then, or just puke, we are glad we can see it here,

[bennyjail]

Lemmy, Kathy, where are you guys? I need your help. Well if you're away from your laptops, I can't ,in good conscience, ask you to get on-line. Off-line life is so much richer and meaningful. Anyway, i'll keep fighting the good fight. GET WAITS OFF THE INTERNET!

[PiTrinam]

Tom Waites! Always with the brilliant lyrics!

[smwrbd]

why

[josie4chadney]

I'm a sucker for a fella in a cowboy hat!

[WastedDayMusic]

"With her feet on the glove compartment, she pulled out her barrettes and her hair spilled out like rootbeer as she popped her gum, and arched her back..." is the lyric (I think!) Brilliant, brilliant song from one of the greats.

[DirkjeA]

This is my favourite Tom Waits song, makes me cry everytime couse it is so sad

[shikaka73]

one of his best songs.

[smwrbd]

check out invitation to the blues it may change your mind

[dabluz1125]

She took the clip out and her hair spilled out like rootbeer....poetry

[daveiusi]

everyday i watch the same 5 videos of tom waits on youtube. hes the best. ever.

[RichyTheHobo]

One of Tom's best...so subtle.

Ha ha...and he looks like the incredible hulk cos of the video...ha ha

[gremlinfeatures]

beautiful

[lemmymorton]

get this off the internet. it's too precious! YOUtube should die

[edizik]

some people keep treasures in a treasure box, i think there should be out there , in a spotlights to remind some what treasures actually are. :-)

[Chinaboatman]

well said. some of the people who post comments on here are beyond belief. 'Youtube should die'? Then what are you doing here? Go away if you dislike it. You are very childish.

[wertoi]

Yeah, I dont know where else to see this. Would be extremely sad if this was taken down.

[Psopyxsus]

@lemmymorton Are you kidding? Doing something like that is counterproductive for the continued existence of such videos. While it may not be immortalized on Youtube, it will now certainly live on a bit longer for those who may not have seen this otherwise, such as myself.

[xpatlady31]

one of my favorites
