From some random bootleg someone gave me. He said it's from around 1999, so... yeah....

What happened to the studio version? Can't find it :(((((

@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!

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

[salsburysteakjr]

@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....

@salsburysteakjr

So he fully intended this to be included in Bone Machine?

(Oh dear. Percussing everywhere.)

BBQ.

[Israfvel]

Ye bastard, ye.

(Here's a Filipino a-speakin', here.)

So what in the name of awesome is this about?

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.
