Tom Waits - Lie To Me

[korfil]

is this... Waitsabilly?



[bydeffinition]

looks like my jam room -- lots of broken spare parts tied together ; only I'm not just "going for a look" YouTube search : "Whores & Heroin" "IBEW drummer: UNSAID , CALL IT , Tommy Aldrige UP , " "early morning inspired" "SOS who do YOU call" <Satan or GOD. "drummer boy falls for YOU Live" ........ somebedy say HI-I still Love YOU to Angela !!!

[strakazzimiei]

I love you tom

[smitty1276]

That dog is awesome. He's just like "wassup".

[Y0UfuckingSHEEP]

for slow computers

[crazyhorse1178]

Whip me baby lie like a dog

I really don't care if you do

[TurkeyJones91]

this song is like if Elvis was possessed by Satan.

[dwuchromian]

How many fpses had his camera? Just kidding - it's wonderful, great, marvelous... god damn it, dictionary is too short;

[InsomniacFolklore]

wonderful!

[superads91]

Coolest video I've seen in a while

[ShaggusMcPhallus]

Patton and Waits need to collaborate

[VacLateralus]

Mark Lanegan, his lost son!

[doloreg]

@VacLateralus Just what i was thinking.

[BruisedChaos]

Loved him in Wrist-cutters a Love Story!

[PHDxNC]

@BruisedChaos You should watch The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus if you have not already. Tom Waits plays the devil.

[Trondhjemsk]

Plain and simple; Awesome!

Anymoron thinking this is, hm, mediocre; put your ass in gear and try to make something even remotely as great! I take my bets; you fail. Big time!!!

Tom Waits = Iconic

[SlackerSolutions]

I work at a bar and some asshole said this sounds like "Elvis on valium."

[61Sedgefield100]

My favorite line from the movie Mystery Men... At the nursing home & Tom Waits says, "I don't live here, I just come for the women" Gotta love Tom!

[josugar1]

more lag than orgrimar xD

[SHEMEANzEVRyTHANG2ME]

i like the instrumental lol

[KingHardyon]

II could totally see his house exactly like this.

Toast to you and deal the frigging cards Mr Wait.

[KTimy29]

i wanna dance at the moment!!!!!!!!! :D

[escapism6]

Such a sick song. Tom Waits is the fucking man. I haven't watched this video in a couple years, but it's still just as badass as it was then. From the comments I skimmed people are complaining about his voice. Come on, Dylan got the same thing. It's music man. Passion and skill matter more than anything. If you want to hear some pretty vocals go elsewhere. If you want to hear some musical genius, check out some more Tom Waits.

[DasUberwurst]

@escapism6

Word.

For folks who only want something pretty, polished, and packaged with pink ribbons...

You're in the wrong Fock'n room. :-D

Go back to your Beibers and bowl cuts, bitchez

Slainte'

[FontanaCinemas]

@DasUberwurst I think Tom Waits is pretty polished and packaged with pink ribbons.

[DasUberwurst]

@FontanaCinemas

Then you are ready ,

to let him spit in your mouth.

[MrGerbilGoof]

this is unintentionally hilarious psychobilly

[7WishingStars]

I have hear three of his songs and in all three he is using a different voice. I kinda love him :3

[fib112358]

Nice guitar playing by Marc Ribot

[SimonCoweI]

This bloke is a complete prat. All you pretending to like him are pretentious cunts who make me sick!

[RubyBladeAwesome]

@SimonCoweI Fascinating tale, my brother. 

[gastonhr]

@SimonCoweI

cool story bro

[ANamelessDivinity]

@SimonCoweI brool cory sto.

[illustriouschin]

@SimonCoweI Which singer do you like that isn't a prat?

[SimonCoweI]

@illustriouschin No singer has ever acted like Tom Waits, some are prats but good singers, this bloke is a fucking disgrace to music!

[illustriouschin]

@SimonCoweI What is one way that he acted that is a disgrace?

[yggdrasilification]

@illustriouschin You're talking to "Simon Cowel" He's trolling. :P

[SimonCoweI]

@illustriouschin His singing.

[illustriouschin]

@SimonCoweI I guess you're right, he needs to autotune more. And definitely needs to lipsync more so he can do gymnastics on stage without having to worry about being out of breath from doing backflips, or have to remember which song he was supposed to be singing, etc.

[XenWuFei]

@SimonCoweI His singing is fine you're just upset because he doesn't have a clean voice. Then again I guess I can't expect much from someone who can't even spell the name of the person he's impersonating correctly.

[SimonCoweI]

@XenWuFei I'm not impersonating anyone, and I can spell the name. Also, his singing is not fine, it's fucking awful. Well done, you were wrong on all counts.

[Naufrageur2]

bloody great !!!

[TheHammerheart]

man...Tom is Tango-ing with the Danelectro!

[21stCentSchizoidFan]

Wait, why the hell is Nickelback in the related videos?

[Loqucious]

Tom is one of those rare musicians who are so brilliant they never seem to make a musical or artistic mistake. He's my musical idol, I wish I could meet him. I once recorded at the same studio he did in Cotati, but missed my chance.

[luridlorea]

Dear God, (oh wait, I'm an atheist), can Mr.Waits sometime collaborate with Mr.Cave? Preeeetttty please???

[madeofcarbon]

go tom 8/

[Victorprossart1]

ROCKS!!

[Mortslake]

listen to this and Edwyn Collins 'A Girl Like You'...same same but different ;)

[finnboy67]

@Mortslake Not even in the same world! Wake up and smell the dog poo

[TheTetsuya0531]

お願い！いい加減、来日してください！

[DroopyDro]

Only Tom Waits could have a dog cooler than him; Dog gives him a look...says wtf! I had a place in Reseda that looked identical, 'cept for the sound array.

[PUNKXx666]

a true fucking artist

[caliesse]

basically, the coolest man on earth.

[WaxHeadroom]

@caliesse Yeah hes one of them, so is David Lynch

[philminutts]

@caliesse I could not agree more!

[caliesse]

basically, the coolest man on earth.

[OololawantsoO]

lmao rsandoval



[robomochi]

this is brilliant - as could be expected from TW - it's the "Chris Marker - La Jetee" vision of a music video.

[DancesWithMrsWoolf]

i'm beginning to suspect that art is a great excuse to just go nuts :))

[mytzso]

@DancesWithMrsWoolf that might be true. The trick, however, is to make other people participate in the madness.. Otherwise it's just mental masturbation. Anyway, I adore Tom Waits, he can go mad around me all day long.

[Tagurname]

@DancesWithMrsWoolf it is, and its great =D

[philthetremoloking]

@DancesWithMrsWoolf that is one of the greatest quotes ever!

[NietzscheanMan]

@philthetremoloking "As if anyone could ever know, Napoleon."

[LorraineNava]

wol! fantastic!!!1



[sherileepoetcmt]

he's a fucking genius.

[TheXicago]

This man is insane!...and I love that xD

[Glitch667]

Wish I was drunk...

[kragger1985]

i just dont know what the fuss is about.

[rad3xl]

that gringo is epic.

[aboo12195]

perfection in insanity.

[xrfreakytom]

he shocking tht y id thought he wud hve less views

[allesgute019]

best music video i've ever seen :)

[chernobylzeug]

8 people don't have a skinny ol' man

[Kriaturametal]

How the fuck does this song have only 231170 views??????

[maridza5]

fucking crazy and too perfect for this world.

[MarkArandjus]

MY BRAIN IS EMPLODING THIS IS TOO WEIRD I CAN'T HANDLE IT, I CAN'T TAKE IT I SAY!!!!

[rembazontas]

awesome video, dangerous while drunk though...

[TchortDamballa]

0:52 is priceless

[rem857]

a Danelectro!! Nice!

[ThisIsStupid1024]

Just danced around at work like a jackass. Work time well spent.

[murphyhurtme]

what exactly is Tom waiting for?

[robreyreynolds]

@murphyhurtme I don't know, but Alan's Cumming.

[Downbythewater73]

Well done !

[karl198]

Tom Waits.

[hendrixchild419]

6 People have been lied to...

[hentaimaid]

@hendrixchild419 who hasn't been..

[EmmyJay88]

I don't know why, but 0:52 makes me laugh hysterically. :)

[moufbreavah]

@EmmyJay88 ----he's like "whew!" lolol

[TheCycad]

Marc Ribot tearing it up on this one...great track

[fweekstir]

Absolutely a one of a kind guy. Im not so sure the mold was complete when he was cast. Love all the speakers and shit in the background. Love the fridge too.

And yes the danelectro guitar is so fitting.

[jimmy2minutes]

bet that dog dont lie after that it looked traumatised!

[cmathiou]

a documentary!!

[opredeleno]

I listened to this song dozens of times today only. And it's so short that even after the 1000th time I'll want to hear it once more instantly.

I think if Marc Sandman was alive, he would make a great cover of this song.

[IcarusV]

video and music are brilliant, lyrics are even better. waitsian masterwork

[RackiUnTacki]

yea! danelectro!!

[Misishaxi]

Imagine if we all got to see the non-stop-motion version of this recording, and it turned out he was just a really bad dancer?

I personally would die inside.

[RevJGoodin]

the "dislikes" can eat a sack of assholes.

[Misishaxi]

@RevJGoodin That's a... startling mental image, to say the least.

[thejahoflife]

Tom understands that true art has no lines around it.

[cabe13x]

the only bad thing about this video is that it if you're not careful, you may accidentally click on a bon jovi link while watching.

[dermacyte]

@cabe13x hahaha ><

[spacecadet1869]

@cabe13x hahahahahahahaa true!!!!!

[abombinreverse]

@cabe13x ----right on... thumbs up if Bon Jovi sucks!

[SupernaturalLover67]

@cabe13x hey don't knock bon jovi lol

[MrDamirRO]

@cabe13x so what ?

[HannesPowerLoad]

@cabe13x

haha yeah!

I hate bon jovi yuck

[goatherder92]

this guy fuckin sucks musically. i would call this "art" not music. it deserves respect in its own right

[tcphll]

@goatherder92 To each his own, I guess. I can see not liking Waits, taste in music is very subjective, and Waits can be weird, but claiming he "fuckin (sic) sucks musically" is quite a claim. I love this song, and I'm a Waits fan, but, hey, there's no accounting for taste.

[goatherder92]

@tcphll im saying its not my cup of tea but i said it deserves respect this guy is baring his soul with his expression and that always is respectable no matter what it sounds like

[risingpower]

@goatherder92 music is art. both are subjective. but saying anything 'sucks' is just ignorant. go listen to more music and then come back.

[goatherder92]

@risingpower some music does indeed suck a la justin bieber or polka u just seem like an arrogant yuppie ive listened to and embraced all kinds of music from blues to ska to classical etc this guy is focusing more on his artsyness than his actual sound if uk what i mean

[brantlymurphy225]

@goatherder92 Tom likes Polka....

[goatherder92]

@brantlymurphy225 how ironic? what is it with you hipsters and irony!

[ryandueck]

Great song, great video, great artist...Tom Waits is amazing.

[drazaMD]

i am addicted to this song

[rockalyptic]

dude, if he can do these jumps at the age of 60 he's the heavy smoker in the best shape I've ever seen.

[vidswotrgud]

If you only ever discover one musician in your life it should be Tom Waits.

[cadwallader55]

Imagine being the unfortunate sod that has to think up Toms videos. trying to keep up with Toms constant onslaught of creativity and genius. The poor guy must go to bed crapping himself.

[millicentbistander]

@cadwallader55 I would say Tom has a pretty big say about the matter anyhow. Minimal bed squirts. 

[IndifferencePoint]

This is the best thing I've seen all day.

[swirlkat]

thumbs up if you're here because of Brendan!

[llclll]

This is like Elvis on crack

[rsandoval89]

Dam hes kinda psychobilly now haha

[eclipse561]

@rsandoval89 I am totally okay with Psychobilly Tom Waits.

[treefitty09]

pure friggin genius, nuff said

[Sporeadam]

It's awesome that a man such as Tom was born

[rings4ever]

My top 3 videos

3-God's away on business

2-Come on up to the house

1-Lie to me

[machino1]

Tom Waits for no man

[WaterGirl49]

you know , hes about 62 yrs old and just think about this, everything he dose is brilliant and all his own, the true mark of a real artist . if he were to live 1000 years he would only improve OUR knowladge of his versatility , he would be the last artist standing., this guy is ageless.

[micol018]

And a dog was like ... whatever :)

[paulpellicci]

Tom Waits is always a safe bet!

[hrld13]

If i would have the chance to drink a full bottle of whisky with anyone i can pick.....No doubt, Tom will be the chosen one. Wot a genius freak he is.

[habite666]

super video. I don't think I could live with myself if I didn't steal it and apply it to a christmas family video or something.

[Misishaxi]

What do you say to this? Tom waits is the devil himself, and that's why he's awesome.

[rollokb2]

@Misishaxi

That would also explain his lack of shadow

[AdamSewell]

this man was literally born and reared in a dumpster

[nonsimia92]

@AdamSewell Actually he claims to have been born in a taxi cab...

[OnreilFarth]

This video makes me tense....

[Ashley4339]

This is Tom at his best!!

[kanayabla]

Tom Waits is the fucking man.

[timsricochet]

Pure and original and check out the dog

[bluethroat101]

what a loon we love him

[TheJiggsCasey]

@bluethroat101

I love Waits...but I often wonder...do you think he knows...that he's not just in his room, amusing himself? That he actually has like...an audience? I sometimes wonder.

[lilyslimit]

@TheJiggsCasey I think it's all the same to him.

[TheJiggsCasey]

@lilyslimit

Heh...probably so.

[ditapunk]

There is the whole quintessence of Tom magic brawler Waits in this video :) Love.

[Aarre50]

LOL!Great music and video.

[DrBlowfins]

Gotta love this one, nice video :D

[gypsydancer830]

I don't believe I have EVER seen Tom Waits move that much in me life! LOVE the dog just laying there! Classic

[sawtoothdan]

@gypsydancer830 You need to check out "It's Alright With Me." He really gets it movin in that one.

[nyrangers731]

tom waits running around with a guitar for 2:11.

can't get much better than that!

[circuitoZ]

great tune and video!!!

[sweeneytoddfan93]

Orphans was a good album, a mix of everything. I love his rockabilly type sound, like this song, or even the Used Songs compilation. I have the albums where the songs are featured on that compilation, but I like the album 'cause it's a bit more organized and doesn't cram my small fucking iPod, oh how I wish I could fit all those in it. I like the rock most of all, but I still can't help but jam to his theatre work like Alice or Blood Money. Damn you Tom!

[dogofman]

You mean like way to much marvelous shit?

I totally agree.

[parabola1212]

@sweeneytoddfan93 dont waste your lack of ipod space with this please

[SwampDaddy7]

@sweeneytoddfan93 Tom's gotta make a Rockabilly album.

[CodeFiend]

Tom Waits is a genius!

[Grapefruitossy1203]

Sorry, It's the 7th of Dec.now here in Hungary. :)

[Grapefruitossy1203]

May God bless Tom on his 60th birthday! And I wish you at least 30 new albums!

[zithus]

This is such an awesome song! I would kill for the chords.

[rotatingwah]

to greenpaint2000 - Nice way to identify yourself

[whatsitallabout1989]

i like him better as an actor, when he played renfield or that angel guy in wristcutters. this isn't bad i just like him better as an actor.

[anrasusan]

If you like his movies, you should definitely check out "Down By Law". Waits basically plays himself, but it's still worth a look (if you haven't seen it already).

[whatsitallabout1989]

thanks i think i will
