WTF is the point of filming yourself doing Karaoke and posting it on You Tube??? Unless you do something different with it. A pale imitation of someone great is less than good.

OakAged72 he never posted it, he is a shy guy I did, and it was not Karaoke it was his music degree presentation at university and the whole campus was talking Tom Waits there after! give the guy a break

@TOEVERYTIME And it says that where? Sorry, as far as we the general public knows, it's some guy in a weird "A"-shaped jacket with a crush on Tom Waits, and so it's going to get some harsh feedback from people who are familiar with the tune, whether they like the original or not. For future reference, think about what you're doing enough to post an explanation so that you don't expose shy people in a light they may not enjoy.

In other words, act as if you're posting a video on the Internet.

this song is nearly impossible to perform correctly if you're not sloshed or Tom Waits, or both. good effort though, I suppose objectively this is good.

I think he needs to drink to do it right........

[SeethingGreen]

You should not cover this song.

[morse3388]

Pretty damn good cover. You got my thumbs up.

If ANYONE knows of a video to this song of the original studio version, PLEASE send me the video! I'm looking all over and only finding live and all. This is the best, so far, but please please PLEASE send me a video of the studio version on here if it exists.

Fail

[DrSamba1]

Excellent job! If I didn't know better, I would almost believe it was Tom Waits!

[TOEVERYTIME]

@TOEVERYTIME P.S the "A" shaped jacket was bought from a charity shop, because that's all we could afford x

@OakAged72

Point taken on board, just a proud mum who kept a steady hand to video the important event and really appreciated an insite into my son's world (who is everyone friend in Uni') and was very impressed with his choice, when everyone was opera and hairy faced folk people, he blew me away (and he does actually sings this way) I never thought there was an artist out there that did a simlar thing x
