Since my name is manwithoutabody, I should probably do a tribute to my namesake. Here's an unofficial video for Tom Waits' song Table Top Joe, made largely with The Movies and with clips of Johnny Eck, as well as some original photographs of Montreal. What a lot of people don't know about this song (assuming that they know the song at all) is that it's a mostly-true story.

  • Sims mess this video up....

  • They're not Sims. It's The Movies. Nevertheless, I see your point.

  • Yeah...so did you make this video? If you remade it that would be awesome. I love this song but there really aren't any good videos for it. The guy without the legs is great for this song.

  • I did make much of the video, although the clips of Johnny Eck are ones I found in archives and places. The song is actually about him.

  • You should remake this with just clips and pictures of Johnny Eck, then it would be pure awesomeness. Right now it could use definite improvement.

    As for video, there's Freaks, that footage of him doing tricks and him as the Gooney Bird in Tarzan.

    And there are certainly a lot more segments of him in Freaks that you didn't use there, so I think it could fill up a song's worth of time.

  • great song about a great person

see all
