Actually, I think John Hammond Sr.'s version is better as is his take on "Heart Attack and Vine." Burn me at the stake. michaelc wrote:Tom Waits in Spandex

I'm REALLY appreciating the morning mix. Haven't heard this stuff ever or in a while.

Their album Bargainville is an unknown gem. Buy it.

justin bieber covering a Metalica song would have as much soul. Tom's song (love the spandex comment too  ) |

The version off their live album is much better but this is still fun.

If a song is truly great it should stand up to any cover attempt. Case in point.

This rendition is FUN! I think it would fit in with "Dead Man's Party," "Hell," and whatever Bare Naked Ladies felt like contributing.

Bravo. BH's is so much better. Too much Spanish guitar in this |

This may be Tom's song, but the first time I heard it was Moxy Fruvous performing. Their drummer, Jian Gomeshi is host of CBC Radio One program 'Q'. One of the better Arts & Culture talk shows I've listened to.

No. Just no. Once performed, any song is open to covering. This cover extends and adds to the Waits' song, and is a whole lot more tuneful than ol' gravel voice, whose singing is an acquired taste, to put it mildly. Waits' street poetry is exceptional, though. |

Like Dylan, it's difficult to cover Waits without sounding "off". However, their lyrical brilliance shines through, and this is no exception.

This is about 10% as good without Tom Waits' growly voice... something about Waits' voice and lyrics that go together like bourbon and beer.
