- Chaz takes on the Tom Waits classic, with double bass & banjo.
Wanted to try out a more organic type of recording technique, as favoured by Mr Waits himself on this offering. I tried to capture the raw sound of the instruments while keeping the playing to a minimal, in an attempt to create a sparse sounding recording.
Cover of the Tom Waits "How's it Gonna End" with a puppet video for fun.
This was my favorite episode of Sesame Street.
I highly recommend looking up "Cookie Monster sings God's Away On Business"
@@benktubes YAY, COOKIE WAITS!!
Yep. Yep yep yeeeeaappp uh huh. UH HUH. Fa-vo-rite. Yep yeap.
Pat Robertson might agree.
Doubtful sesame street
My first Waits album was Rain Dogs. My most intense episode of listening to one of his albums was as a passenger in a car. 4 of us went to a Pink Floyd show, 1 designated driver, and 3 of us tripping and smoking through the show and the rain. Our "designated driver" drove us through the night but leaving the city in a continuous rain and Neon signs streaking by. Once out of the city the songs took on a new life with words that hit home deeply and sometimes even a comedic splatter here and there. I think that we heard the entire CD at least twice in a row and it didn't fail us. That was so long ago now. In times before cameras and cell phones or Windows 95, non-musical electronics destroyed a chapter of history.
how so?
@@brucesmith1544 If you got to ask "How so?" you wern't there.Computorisation made people weak of muscle , weak of mind and weak of adventure. music lost that vibe when they started using computers. Prove me wrong. Show me a more insperational band than Floyd or someone more creative than Hendrix, or Someone as inteligent as Bob Marley around since comptorisation of music. Loved the story of the trips and Floyd and listening to Tom while tripping in the car. I have similar memories. Thanks X

My kids have a similar story.
Love love love this mans writing, art and music. Nobody sounds like Waits.
God bless sir. There are other worlds than these
Always felt he and Leonard Cohen were very similar - complementary artist
It’s just this world. And one truth underlying all the quantum psychology.
The world has moved on..
@@AldousHuxleysCat Just heard this song for the first time and thought is this a Cohen tune covered by Waits ? When learned it was a Wait's written song I said hmmm...wow. Great tune
Beefheart...
Seriously though, of all the things I love, I never thought Tom Waits and The Muppets would overlap. Good job!
True artistry never dies. Tom Waites and Muppets. Love this ❤
How is this TRUE ARTISTRY? its a Cover.... Its just silly Karaoke
I was introduced to Tom in the late 80 with Rain Dogs - been a love affair ever since...
I was introduced with closing time and foreign affairs but heart attack and Vine was just out.
Only one and forever Tom Waits!
Waits has got just the right amount of weird for me to be always devoted to his music.
this is what TH-cam was invented for, genuinely a masterpiece of a video and i never say that without fully meaning it❤
Love Tom Waits!!
The man can paint with his words like no other. A true legend.
His collaboration with Rickie Lee Jones is nothing short of spectacular.
How is this not on every television in the world upon broadcast release date? smh
I think it’s only fitting that Tom has a song called Nighthawks at the Diner after the Edward Hopper painting! Mr. Waits paints us such a visible tangible Palpable picture with his lyricism! “Wrote goodbye in the dust on the good…” I mean, damn! So good!
dust on the hood
Your sister CW and I hung out at HHS. I was a year or two
behind you,🍦🙋♂️!
We loved you and knew you were different then, an Old Soul. You haven’t let us down! 💕
him and trent reznor are probably the greatest musicians alive ,but tom is the king i would love to see him live!bless you tom !!!xxx
I've just crested my 30th birthday. My introduction to Tom Waits was stumbling on Real Gone... somehow. I can't recall the details. Maybe through a friend. This was probably around 2016? Anyways, when I heard "Hoist That Rag," I was blown away -- not just by his unique voice, but the force of the words, such a bare bones story given so much weight by the simple choice of "rag," and the emotion Tom threw into the words.
Been hooked on his poetry every since. Anyways, great video -- two things I love in this world, Tom Waits and puppetry. You put them together and it's an instant hit for me!
RAIN DOGS.
Том Вейтс !!! Топ 10 в моём сердце больше 30 лет!!!!!
Спасибо!!!!!❤
You guys are doing god's work. Or the devil's. Either way, covering Tom's music so beautifully makes me one happy boy. Thanks!
My first song played with guitar was 'Chocolate Jesus' I love this guy.
"I would rather have a bottle in front of me, then have a frontal labotomy."
_Tom_
Tom looks better than he has in years
LOL Speak of the Tom Waits Devil...I just mentioned this on another of your links, and here we are! I am in love with your style, Yorkshire Kitchen Recording!
can't help but think of Leonard ♥♥♥
This is priceless. I love it 🌚
Great little ditty with a gritty beat. Thanks Tom. Keep em coming
Absolutely brilliant, thanks for this ❤
You trip me out Tom🙂makes me think of Leonard Cohen. I also enjoyed your acting performances such as the dead don't die.
You're interesting entertaining Sir. Peace too you🙂
That’s interesting, I thought the same, and the harmony singers sound like the sisters that were on Leonard’s last live album.
The second scariest song I think Waits ever released. Nice job!
Wait, which one was the scariest? Don't leave me hanging!
@@randybugger3006 "Don't Go Into That Barn", of course.
@@Scodiddly "what's he doing in there?"
Tom Waits is such a unique and monumental artist I normally wouldn't listen to covers but I was caught unaware and this is great!! I think Linda Thompson's cover of "day after tomorrow" is really good but I haven't heard many pull off a Tom Waits song. And one of his best! Great job!! ✌️🥸
Just love it, that puppet is just how I would picture mr. Waits as a puppet! ❤❤❤
And the video is perfectly done!!! great job!!!🤘
this is a masterpice !!
cap
It thought it sucked
@@kenash88 It has thoughts? Doubt it.
@@ChrisLawton66 I stanby my statement
@@kenash88 I couldn't possibly care less about your thoughts or what brought you to share them.
This is the pinnacle cover of this song.
Just great!
That was fantastic.
LOVE tom , his music i only heard in one radio indy!!
Haunting.
Nice $%& Fine music. Thanks a lot
T.W. Is a true original Americana treasure trove ahead of his time
You have a voice worthy of a Waits number!
Another Masterpiece Tom!
I remember when I first discovered Tom Waits, I sent a tape to my brother. He said, "What is this? Grover's greatest hits?" Love the Tom Waits. This is a terrific rendition. I would love to play this on my show #cultofthehummingbird
How illustriously Tom Waits for evidently a dark and steamy Circus that will hollow out your dreams, and make room for some of his.
I love Tom Waits!!
It never ends!
Fantastic!
nah
His quest is naively pure; to
be pure is to be wise, ...
This popped up on my front page and I'm amazed at how good you are! I was a trainee chef in the 90s and my sous, Trumpet, was a massive Waits fan who turned me onto him. Talk about a wild ride! Really cool cover 👍🏻
Wait's " Hell Broke Luce" was an amazing piece....visionary in fact. "What did you do before the War? I was a Chef....my name was Jeff".....
I am 68 and have some good Waits stories. I saw him 4 or 5 times for free. The Troubadour would have open mike night on Mondays. He would come walking in , almost every week I am told but certainly almost every time I went there, and play a few songs. Then another time I was dancing to a punk band at Madame Wu's . My girlriend leaned into my ear and said look at that guy next to you trying to act like he is Tom Waits. I looked next to me and replied, it is and that is Rickie Lee Jones that he is dancing with.
Songs so good you are sad when they end
Wonderful take on the song with such good visuals ❤️
Brilliant, thank you
My favourite artist. Nicely done.☺☺☺
I knew Tom is an alien and wearing a human suit to fit in as best he can.
God truly exceptional
Nice one
Very Nice!!!! Oh yea!!!!!
I was suggested this by youtube a few weeks ago and I keep coming back to it. Subscribed now and can't wait for new cover/puppet music videos. Such a wonderful genre I didn't know I needed in my life! Thank you for sharing
Much like many a dark and grim mystery, more to the story is revealed just when we think the story is over. 🕵️
Well..yes..indeed...bloody fabulous...thank you lots x
Brilliant bit of animation! 😂
Good Question, "How's it gonna end...✌️💗
Cool! Very interesting style!
How's it going to end ...?
Fortunately some of us have been given time to think 🤔
1....walk across a train track at the wrongtime , ears into phones on 😮
playing chance with loosing conciousness .
2.....Some will kill you .
Its happening constantly, 😮
3.....When the time comes to die rather suffering,
The choice is made and compassionately given .
Genius.
At the edge of Extinction only shame and blame remain if you call that love good luck
Excellent, I love Tom Waits, have since I was a teenager. Intense version of the Muppets 🫨
y first experience of Tom Wait music was Downtown train, that was years ago and only just got back into his music, F'in awesome so many different flavours of Tom lol
I think I like this. Aloha~~ from Hawaii~~ 🍍🤙🤙
Excellent!! $
Great cover and video
I am the 1000th subscriber!
Brilliant. 😀
Waits did a skit with Iggy Pop once. I guess this was on SNL. In the skit, they meet (as themselves) in a bar, and they don't get along very well. Major awkwardness. Iggy mentions he doesn't see any of Tom's songs on the jukebox. Then he leaves and Tom checks out the jukebox and goes "Huh- none of his songs either."
It’s from Jim Jarmusch’s “Coffee and Cigarettes”. This sketch so profoundly uncomfortable to watch.
Real talk
Awesome
Bellissima....grazie Tom
Thank you for this artworks 😌
This used to be one of my least favorite because I didn’t agree. I don’t think about or care about how I die. I’m sure it will suck but I definitely don’t want to know. But this video makes me like the song. It… puts a face on it. And now I see that like many of his songs it’s from the perspective of a character and now I see that character and I like it.
wonderful, from a fan in Florida, cheers
Great 😊❤
Consummate Waits! Although I don't recall hearing that particular variation on his normal growl before, the animation is certainly a suitable depiction - whatever that raggedy creature is? - of what a voice like that may emanate from! Great stuff!
❤
Очень и Очень!!!!!
I always knew this channel was going to blow up. When I found your channel very much by accident you only had a couple hundred views. Now look at it!
this hits
Wundershowzen vibes!
I wanna thank you for introducing me to Tom Waits' music with this video. I had always heard of him but this song really put him on ny radar. Great cover and a unique style!
sweet
❤❤❤
Love it
Incredible
🖤
Definitely shades of CookieWaits here. I dig it.
About 2:15, he sings "drag your wagon and plough the bones of the dead". Seems borrowed from the title of Olga Tokarczuk's wonderful novel "Drive Your Plough Over the Bones of the Dead" of 2009 (original Polish). My English edition (by Antonia Lloyd-Jones) is from 2018. Or maybe Olga borrowed from Tom? In any case, read the book!!! (Never thought I'd see Oscar the Grouch in a Tom Waits video, but the more I think about it, the more it seems exactly right.)
"Drive your cart and your plow over the bones of the dead."
William Blake, The Proverbs of Hell, 1793
@@farteinjonassen7523 Ahh, you're right of course! Blake's line is even cited in Tokarzcuk's book, and I had forgotten. In fact, every chapter starts with an epigraph taken from either The Proverbs of Hell, Auguries of Innocence, The Mental Traveler, or Blake's letters. Many thanks - I'm glad to be corrected.
@@alienalajna And now I have to read Olga's novel. Thanks.
I love it when I find myself in that space in time when the topic becomes Tom Waits, William Blake and Oscar the Grouch.. how did I even get here?
@@farteinjonassen7523 You're quite welcome. I've got her "Flights" on my shelf, among a dozen other books I'm sure will be well worth reading. Ahh, so many books, and only one brain!
Of course!
Maybe it's time to give Waits the Nobel prize, like Dylan.
Tom Waits is a G.
I was wonderin what the Muppets were doin.
NOT WAITS!!!
Congratulations, you can read.
@@IHateThisHandleSystem Thank you Thank you Yes Yes Thank you Thank you No no no.... Stop it, you are TOOO Kind... lol
