This song absolutely rips. I've always loved Waits, but for the last couple weeks I've been listening to every song I can find. He is absolutely brilliant, and hugely prolific. It's amazing how many different songs on youtube are people's "favorite song." It's unbelievable. If I try to list my 20 favorite songs of his, I can't do it. It's like trying to pinpoint the sun's best shine! Unequivically the greatest song writer ever.
cooking up a filipino box srping hooooooooooooooooooooog.... cooking up a filipino.....cooking up a filipino....cooking up a filipino.... BOX SPRING HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGG............!!!!
The Mule Variations version is the shit, and along with Big In Japan, represents , along with much of Bone Machine, the best crack-pot noise he has ever made. I listen to it when the traffic stalls and my old beast of a car makes all these terrible sounds.
Yeah apparently he first composed this tune in 1992 for Bone Machine, and decided he didn't get it perfect...yet. The original 1992 version is available on sneaky websites, it's 100 times different...
@Israfvel Initially, apparently according to online say so, and the "original" studio edition, it was written to appear on Bone Machine. I'm glad he held back, I rather prefer the funkier Mule Variations edition....
@Israfvel If ya ever managed to hear a copy of the original 1992 version, it'd make far more sense... its far slower, lurching and shambling, like it's all about to collapse. As if little nuts and bolts are falling off all over and the ending is just all of it finally giving in.. Lots of fun!
What happened to the studio version? Can't find it :(((((

So he fully intended this to be included in Bone Machine?
(Oh dear. Percussing everywhere.)

@salsburysteakjr
I wonder, though, how this would fit in Bone Machine, as Bone Machine was largely about death. And bones, and the percussing.
