When you hate you very quickly and inevitably hurt yourself.. It was a long time ago, that i realized never to hate... but it wasn't till just recently, i figured out how far it really is... the distance between Hate and the warm embrace of Love...
This is my favourite Tom Waits song, and my second favourite song of all time. I came up with a backstory for one of my characters, then I heard this song and about two thirds of it matched what I'd written (with some interpretation), so I deliberately rewrote it to match even more, and now when I write the story the character is in I think of Waits' music.
The title of song by Carosone is TU VUO' FA' L'AMERICANO, baby. "We no speak americano" is kinda remix and totally oposite to the ironic spirit of the song by Carosone.
Tom Waits just has a face that is meant to get old and craggly, looking at old pictures of him as a young man almost seems fake. The older he gets the better his mug will get. Anyone up for a Polka? Polka till you puke!
He was also in "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus", "Ironweed", "Short Cuts", "Down By Law", "The Book of Eli", "The Fisher King", "Queens Logic", "The Cotton Club", and "Rumble Fish".
I like Him more, live :( this is like His translation of himself for larger audience, if i have any problem to understand what He sings, and f. I do, I check his lirics on the inter. It's only my oppinion, but for me his live performances are so unpredictible ous of scheme, just better,

"After a rain in New York, all the dogs that got caught in the rain,
somehow the rain washed away their whole trail, and they can't get back
home. So around four in the morning, you see all these stranded dogs
in the street, and they're looking around, like, "Won't you help me get
home, sir, please, excuse me sir, excuse me sir, can you help me
find my way back home?" All the makes and models , the short ones, the
black ones, the expensive ones- they all want to get home." -Tom Waits
