the greatest artist entertainer of all time. broken Sinatra, normal thelonious, broken glass in your shoe.
Well, that Zappa guy was pretty groovy too
This man is just so friggin brilliant!
The 'immaculate confection' just went right over their heads...
Sure did.
@James Are you out of your fucking mind? I didn't say squat!
By the way, i'm a tradesman and a working man. And i don't think anybody's standing in your way, you can go back to mopping up the floor at the peepshow.
@James And you're a degenerate. Did you give the guy that made the comment the same amount of shit? Or just me ''cause i agreed w/ him?
No it didn't, you can hear some chuckles.
Lord, that voice. It's what's in your heart ❤ and you have an intense heart.
The immortal, the emmaculate... Perfect
Perfect Tom Wait !
Waits is so awesome
Inoubliable ! Just magic men ! Only one men blues like that !
now, where would any of us be, w/o 'the blues,'' done-up as 'comedy,' by Tom Waits, on a snowy, Feb., Friday afternoon in 2022 ? lol, lol...😂💜
Tom waits c'est vraiment le plus grand !!! avec John Coltrane. A mourir !!!!
I attend the church of Tom. I am saved!!
Diamonds on my Windshield!! One of my top favorites.
Love him !
Le semeur du vivant...réanimateur de cœurs flétris! Peace and New-Orleans
my hero
That was awesome
The one and the only!
I have a sore throat only listening him, bud this is gold....
Fabulous!!!!
As we say in Oz, A fckin Legend
spectacular
All hens and other dancing birds in audience would've got hot! Seeing some are amazing. Missed option 2008 glitter DOOM tour!:(
This dance is simply spooky
My fave Tom Waits tune (though this isn't necessarily my favorite performance of it).
This particular performance is maybe one of my favourite songs full stop. Really, my favourite Tom Waits song changes as I find more and go deeper into the rabbit hole. Maybe one day I'll listen to every album all the way through
What is in your opinion the best live performance of it? I mean, there really aren't many online
Love. Love this!! Ticker tape bull horn.. on the David Letterman show!!! My Fave
best ever
The king
"The large print giveth.. and the small print taketh away "...
get away from me kid, you bother me...
The man's a poet. Beautiful, bet he's a pain in the ass you know.
He sounds like Steve O and The Joker combined.
Well, I don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the bible
I got my own special way
I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more
Fall down on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store
Well, I've got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
Well, I don't want no Abba Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
There ain't nothing better
Suitable for this boy
Well, it's the only thing that can pick me up
It's better than a cup of gold
See, only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul
When the weather gets rough and it's whiskey in the shade
It's best to wrap your savior up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy but that's okay
Pour him over ice cream for a nice parfait
Well, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
It's good enough for me
Well, it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel so good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied
I thank you for writing this text, I listen to spanish and other languages. And I apreciate. To understand
I was in the audience for the variations tour. I was going to ask Andres Luis Borges if I could make it backstage, but I didn't want to be the mezzano my ragazzina
TO my ragazzina
If you didn't see him in Wristcutters: A Love Story you should find that movie.
Damn good movie, along with Down By Law and Coffee And Cigarettes
Im the only like on this video for now and i dont understand why this song is great
It's a shame that the megaphone wasn't working that night...
Tom didn't speak through the megaphone, it was the megaphone that spoke through Tom Waits.
Блин, а Фоменко то как удалось подыграть Вэйтсу на банджо?
walkin on the black beachhead water looks to me like the water makes people walk on it. am i right? is that the one i see right here where I am standing my big bubble boddy
He moves like a drunk angry cat trying to occupy the shape of a man
The elephant mans carnival barker
Вас тоже удивляет Коля Фоменко на банджо?
Erik
Yeee?
@@erikgomez6314 I put u on
@@wormowormo8992 yee thanks
Beth Hart does a great version too. So does Jason Bieler!!!
If you walk with Jesus he's gonna save your soul.
So many musicians from the past made the deal with the devil. Tom didn't have to.
You know what this song is really about don't you?
Probably a Talmudic reference about Jesus boiling in shit.
My best guess without reading the lyrics.
@@billcarrig9434 I was told by an old black Cuban guy that it's about a black woman"s vagina. Guy had multiple PhD, listened to the song once and said there's no question this is what it's about.
Yeah he’s dropping acid in the shape of a chocolate cross.
@@kgscomedyproduction1747 wow! Def need a Phd to come up with that.
@@pt8543 you def need a PhD to make out the works he is chewing man. His orgasmic delivery is not helping you concentrate on the words much anyway.
well you didnt went istanbul im very upset about that
Blues music on TH-cam
Oops sorry wrong Channel I absolutely adore Tom Waits he is just absolutely incredible
