Dressed Up For a Night On the Town

A "musical" tribute to Tom Waits
http://www.tomwaits.com/

Written by the little woman, performed by neotoy

The story:

So, my girlfriend and I were having a new year celebration with our respective families, and they gave her a sheaf of old poems from when she was 16, one of the poems was actually a set of song lyrics she had written after listening to the Tom Waits album "The Black Rider", she is a big fan.

I on the other hand have never cared much for his "music", and have a tendency to make fun of his style whenever she mentions him; mainly by spouting random nonsense while waving my hands around manically. Ironically she says that I do a pretty good impersonation (debatable IMHO), and is always asking me to perform like an uncooperative organ-grinder's monkey.

For the lulz, we decided to combine our talents and produce a "song". Thus an epic tribute to the truly talented Tom Waits was born. All "music" was recorded in one improvised session, with oven door on bass, wooden spoon with pots and pans on percussion, and a #8 cast iron skillet with ethereal scraping magic.

Vocals, yours truly.

If you think it sucks or are in love with Tom Waits, please go watch another video, otherwise enjoy! And BTW HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2009!! WOOO!!

"I thought this would be more fun."

I think I've just heard my epitaph - lol.

You do Tom Waits and drunkeness a great disservice with this video, which is ok because they both kinda deserve it.
