This was one of the 'Gong Show's' finest prodigies. Where's my mallet, baby! S M A S H ! I seriously don't think that this could have been any worse if he tried.

Dang, Tom Waits is always so disturbing. I wouldn't exactly have him sing at my wedding. Or my funeral for that matter.

Love early Tom Waits (Closing Time is a masterpiece). But to me, this is almost unlistenable. Almost made me hit the mute button. How many times does he say "you gotta come on up to the house"? 200?

Thank GOODNESS for the new "Play Something Different" !!

One of the few discs from the 90's I still listen to, but for the Covenant unbelievers in the crowd............try "Bad as Me".

PS Thanks Fred, I hadn't thought of Wallace and Grommit until you mentioned Stinking Bishop cheese.

What an amazing Voice! Don't you wish you could answer the phone like that? =) I would love to go out and buy a Tom Waits & Bob Dylan album some time in the near future, non?

Tom Waits is one of the greatest, come on (up to the house)!

Combines my two least favorite things in music: singer/songwriters who can't sing, and mindless repetition of lyrics.

'Kinell - that hurt! Ol' gravel voice's tones are an acquired taste, right enough, but his singing on this is rougher than a scabby dog's arse, and that's rough . I could 'enjoy' this song in the same way as I could 'enjoy' Stinking Bishop . Tom Waits is a brilliant street poet and I've enormous respect for him and his work, but he's hardly SingalongaTom, that's for sure. Could you imagine doing Tom Waits on karaoke?

He needs to go to the doctor and see about that raspy voice. I keep wanting to make him cough...
