Tom Waits - T'aint No Sin - The Black Rider

[jayraskin]

Lee Morse, the greatest singer of al all time, does a terrific version of this song.

This is William Burroughs singing, not Tom Waits. Still pretty awesome.

Y'all do know that this is a cover version don't you?

Original was written and composed by Walter Donaldson and Edgar Leslie in the 20s. Waits' version is creepier than most and absolutely brilliant. The original is actually code for dancing naked a la Josephine Baker so not so scary at all ;)

I am with luke and Btw it sounds like our composition. And how can people listen to this without lolling

[LukeCowanMusic]

This is fucking scary as hell.

[Lixiolott]

@LukeCowanMusic HI LUKE!

[LukeCowanMusic]

@Lixiolott Go away, Inez and listen to your One Direction. T'aint no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones.

[Lixiolott]

@LukeCowanMusic eh? :L Must have read my mind, was just about to do that! :)

I think this is my favorite Tom Waits songs. It's weird, yet catchy.
