It's strange that I'm a huge Tom Waits fan and a huge Ryan Ross fan, and that Ross got a tattoo based on these lyrics. I guess he has good taste in music too
@jonesrebel Me too! That tattoo actually led me to this song, I had some other Tom Waits CDs but had never heard this song before Ryan Ross got the tattoo
@unknownkingdom Ex-Panic! of The Disco. He wrote decent lyrics too, before he leave Panic!. I don't really fancy his new stuff. Nonetheless, his lyrics while he's with Panic! are worth checking out.
I heard this song many times without knowing the title. I actually thought the refrain was 'Some men will do it for diamonds, some men will do it for coal'
ok so i am guilty of looking up this song because it is on ryan ross wrists. but i must say its not my favorite song in the whole world but i wouldnt mind listening to it again. i actually thougt the mad as a hatter part came from alice's adventures in wonderland, but i guess not.
yes i admit, i only looked this up because of Ryan's tatoo... BUT that's just because i know he has great taste in music, so i knew it would be good! Anyway.. this song seems familiar to me!
you all only love "mad as a hatter, thin as a dime" because of ryan. I knew the song before and i like it anyway, no matter if ryan has got a "mad as a hatter, thin as a dime"-tattoo ( but it's still really beautiful, i 've seen it on a concert^^)
a yeah btw, this video is kinda wierd but still really funny : )
i like the phrase "sing me a rainbow, steal me a dream."
tom waits has done a lot of amazing work, in regards to his lyrics. and even music (of course!) but this is one of his more elaborate lyrical works. i love the animation!
Aww, Ryan. Thanks for showing me this song. AH LOVES YOU! But really, you're amazing. Sigh.

I'm in a weird category of people I guess, I have both loved Tom Waits and this song for a long time, and I am a fan of Ryan Ross.
Anyways, I love this song, it has an awesome vibe to it

Maybe im lame, but who is Ryan Ross?
And why are his tat's sooooo relevant?
looshkin66 2 years ago
Ex-guitarist of Panic! at the disco and know lead singer of The Young Veins.
He has a tattoo on one wrist that says "Mad as a hatter" and "thin as a dime" on the other. Plus he's super hot!
payingxinxnaivetyx 2 years ago
yes, i'm guilty too.
MAD AS A HATTER, THIN AS A DIME!

Like SO many other people commenting, I too am guilty of searching this because the tattoo Ryan Ross got on his wrists.
(I looked it up a while ago, but felt like joining this confession-fest)
But hey, I got into a musician I had heard the name of but never really heard before, and now I dig him quite a bit.
I'd hope people would understand most of us still appreciate the music for what it is, and not assume we just like it because of that tattoo.
(I think it's perfect for him by the way)
sweetassugar3239 2 years ago
I also confess to only searching because of Ryan's tattoo.
But it really is quite an interesting song.
And just think of the tattoo as an advertisement.
(I agree. It is perfect for him. I sometimes think that Ryan is going to wither away. Haha.)

this song is amazing.
ryro having a tattoo about it is just a plus. i'd still like it even if he didnt have the tattoos.
tom waits is an awesome singer.

and i think it's sad that people are now only listening to tom waits because of ryan ross' wrists :|
trashtyn 3 years ago
yeah that kinda bums me out.
i love panic at the disco though,
my experience with the tattoo was kind of reversed
when i saw ryan's tattoos i was like
'dude no way! tom waits!!'
kind of made my day.
so it works out both ways, really. which is nice...
