[MoriSempaisNeko]

[catcookie]

I love Tom Waits. I did get to see him live during his franks wild years tour.

[pasqualegurl]

@ozzymanni4 ohhhh found the comment you got mad at, ya i had that song playing in the background and couldnt hear youtube at the time i said it.. had kind of a blonde momment, TOO FUNNY

[pasqualegurl]

@ozzymanni4 do i know you :S ?

[joetotale1]

Absolutely the best music for when everyone's gone to bed and all that's left is you and your drunk ex-girlfriend who's fallen asleep and you just don't know..

[rachelfishfry13]

I'm seventeen and it's a shame that none of my friends would ever appreciate this genius of a man.

[KyleNarayan]

@rachelfishfry13 you don't life for you friends friend. embrace all the goods you find for yourself and let others be happy with what they have.

[rachelfishfry13]

@KyleNarayan Thank you. That literally fits into my life perfectly lately. I appreciate it.

[KyleNarayan]

@rachelfishfry13 you're welcome

[Luanav1988]

@rachelfishfry13 Want a piece of advice from a fully alive 23? Change your friends TODAY.

[rachelfishfry13]

@Luanav1988 Haha, already have! Thanks.

[mylulac]

There's no one else like him! I travel far and wide to see him.

[zaperfan]

Tom is the master

[dumassproductions8]

@zaperfan i thing we should all say peace be upon him after you say tom waits (pbuh)

[allaboutdatGDA]

grape nuts to go with this gravelly shit?

[nikkkaforum]

osam

[pryzm7]

Awesome as all hell!!

[michael217777]

THE MAN WHO SINGS THIS SONG TOM WAITS IS A LYRICAL GENIUS .WHO HAS NEVER FOLLOWED TRENDS STYLES .HAS ALWAYS DONE IT HIS WAY OR NOTHING HOW MANY ARTISTS OF TODAY CAN SAY THAT ?????

[pampapersempre]

@michael217777 john di leo...

[shittyfagg]

@michael217777 you obviously can't, using caps in stead of regulars is usually a sign of mental retardation.

Nah it isn't I totally made that up. You're still a douche, though.

[Bozarkian]

@michael217777 Beck.

[JessterJ]

@Bozarkian not even fucking close.

[MikeTrytek1]

Three and half people can't clap effectively.

[seandon67]

can someone do a rap version of this please

[rimfa123]

@seandon67 No. That would be blasphemy.

[OneShamelessKid]

best song. ever. seriously.

[stevosomebizzare]

love and devotion

[GlobalJukebox]

His best.

[pluckyduck11y]

rain dogs album cover must have inspired david fincher for his shot of edward norton being embraced by meatloaf in fight club

'swhat it looks like. also fincher used tom waits in the soundtrack for that movie

[ptose]

my favorite Ribot's guitar solo

[talochIV]

"clap hands"............ something one can get playing "stink finger".

[ThickpropheT]

Might you possibly allow this to be viewed for mobile? The only thing available for mobile is live (not as good) and covers(lame)...

[PollishedPeople]

I love smoking to Tom Waits.

[TheTinychainsaw]

The guy in the picture reminds me of jason sudekis

[FlyingFuckstorm]

Obviously that guy was joking. He called them "The Radioheads". Fuck youtubers are thick.

[arizonafiction]

When I hear this song I always imagine me Tim Burton's universe... It's just perfect with it...

[someguyonaskateboard]

nothing like WAITS

[korixiii]

Listen to Clap Hands while takeing a shot of whiskey with a cigarette chaser..

[cobraC510]

Respond to this video...  I LOVE IT!

[MrGerbilGoof]

this is weird and dark

[11salparadise]

sorry beck

[Tom31994]

5 people dont have hands.

[RimboBobo]

@Tom31994 Ironic really that a handful of people wouldn't have hands.

[chinahands100]

@Tom31994 or have the clap(dripping cock)

[itsliekhenry]

@Tom31994 Quit showing off your hands and listen

[Kamozeloraoz]

Awesome music and feeling.

[Azeralas]

well its nice to know an origin but i really could care less this song and several others that he wrote are among my all time favorites but thanks for the tidbit it is nice to know the origin but think there is a lot of tunes and lyrics stolen and redone but i think you would all agree that he has a very unique approach that does not take away but only adds to the piece

[dumassproductions8]

amazing man those 4 people can go to hell for my likeing

[MrCruk]

mf legend...thats all

[n64m]

4 people dislike this video.

[roppasmoka]

son a bitches neva comin back 'eh no moh.

i can tip my hat to that

[StrawberryJungle]

Just incredible.

[altrock17]

Thank you Tom Waits... you've helped with the future of music. Today''s music might not all be great, but you've helped make it somewhat enjoyable. If it wasn't for you, there wouldn't be amazing artists like Beck. I think i can speak for everyone who listens to this when i say that you have revolutionized music. thank you

[TwoTones]

That guitar lick at 2:17. So right.

[chewbac46]

Whenever I'm driving alone at night and this comes on I CRANK IT!

[joeygsmom]

He must have been younger on this recording...?

[TheMissturd]

sons a bitch never coming back here no mo

[alexgillespie1]

they all went to heaven in a little rowboat...

He stole that from the radioheads!

[SupperOfTheMightyOne]

@alexgillespie1

Yes, you're much more tasteful than Radiohead fans.

That's what you wanted to hear, right?

[ozzymanni4]

@SupperOfTheMightyOne they both stole it from an old nursery rhyme

[alexgillespie1]

@SupperOfTheMightyOne ... I'm a radiohead fan i just always liked the lyric.

[evelyneverettgreen]

@alexgillespie1 apologies in advance if you meant it as a joke, but this was recorded in1985, before Radiohead formed. Whatsmore, the song was written in the 1930's and itself based on a much earlier child's rhyme whose origin is lost in the mists of time...

[chewbac46]

@evelyneverettgreen Cool one of my fav Waits tunes but had no idea it was a cover.  Thanks!

[ismellREALLYBADtwice]

@alexgillespie1

lol

[wraithbaby1]

@alexgillespie1 Dear retard, This song came out in 1985, Radiohead's song came out in 2001. The lyrics originally came from a Shirley Ellis song back in 1965.

[LadyeXo]

@alexgillespie1 I wonder if you're tired of us Rain Dogs bashing your "musical knowledge".

[UseSomebody901]

Tom waits i love you !

[pasqualegurl]

this sounds like bad town by hollywood undead..

[ozzymanni4]

@pasqualegurl kindly kill yourself

[rejlandersegundo]

I love this Mark Ribot's guitar.

[iNils1]

One of the best songs ever!

[Phoenh]

 Little Criminals

[Slicknificent]

i love rap and im still loving this dude's music

[zo0z3172010]

7 : 22 + 1360,1 x 22 = C

[zoltan2525]

this is possiable the best peice of avent garde music ever written and maybe the earliest piece of what becomes modern exparimental rock

[shawndimery]

@zoltan2525 I dont think so, Try Zappa or Captain Beefheart

[PointlessRubbish]

i started listening and i was like wow this is weird.. but i kept listening and i was hypnotized! its so good!

[witenoise1]

me too!

[Pyro7502]

I freackin love this jam

[Ladydog333]

"salvation army seemed to wind up in a hole"

[MsArtistick]

I'd give my left leg to be that woman hugging him on the picture...=O

[kidcreole77]

@MsArtistick He's not the guy in the picture.

[ThirdReichnRoll]

@MsArtistick

Too bad it's not Tom.

[MsArtistick]

@ThirdReichnRoll lol yes... I've been told...but I'd still give my left leg to hug that guy in the picture LOL

[evelyneverettgreen]

@MsArtistick it's tom

[mikekadas]

Clap Hands - Waits, Tom [Pomona, California] - 1985 - "is an surreal tour of an urban landscape in the form of a skewed nursery rhyme...Waits turns what could be an ordinary folk song (musically, anyway) into a richly textured, ominous-sounding piece." - Greatest Hits [Import Russia] (ANTI-Records) [Disc 1]-2008.

[disgustipated07]

I get chills at the line "steam, steam, a hundred bad dreams"

[Thundercatsaooooh]

...Where the hell is Mr. Knickerbocker?

[TheAEB666]

Sounds like Captain Beefheart except less original, less interesting and more of a Captain Beefheart rip-off.

[bassist053]

Tom Waits for No man.

[ReadSchopenhauer]

@bassist053 that's my line!!!

[wvfjr]

@bassist053 Nice pun this one...

[BlackstarSirius]

@bassist053 This Tom fellow sounds very impatient.

[tobystone]

@bassist053 Whenever people ask me what music i like and i say Tom Waits they say that!

[arlsis]

Wonderful, love it just love it

[arlsis]

Wonderful

[alexfrost1231]

[Lilcorrea]

I was eleven-twelve when I saw the movie. Felt like I was Des. Wanted to be Des.

[cris101298]

[lost619]

[LadyeXo]

[ryderko]

@JorTron4000 thats movie is the shiz niz

[Lilcorrea]

@JorTron4000

Roads by Portishead reminds me of the ending of Little Criminals. This song reminds of the burning house.
