This is why I do my Waits voice speaking to my little cousins - no patronising high pitched cutesy stuff for the little terrors 🤣

i like most everybody that listens to tom waits. i approve of this family 😊

Thank you for sharing this Sonja. It is such a blessing to me. I remember your Mother, Donna and her sisters visiting the church i attended in Fredericton, NB, Canada on two ocassions when i was a child in the 1980s. Their witness for Jesus and their music made a deep impact on my life. Bless you.

I gotta say, it’s the correct reaction.

Is the music for this song available anywhere? It's beautiful!

Simply beautiful

Beautiful song and message!

So beautiful!!!!!!!

Story goes that baby climbed down his high stool, grabbed hisself a pickaxe, and has been building a new train rail line expansion ever since

Sorry Rihanna, this one's ours, hehe.

Music the spirit of life?

What’s the name of this song?

The kid gots taste

Who gives a good g-d damn you'll never get out of that chair!😂😂😂😂😂💕💕💕💕💕

Life's a riddle!!! Life's a mistake all day long!

My daughter (when she was around 6to8 months) and I once danced "Ice Cream Man". That was the very first time that was actually hard make her go to bed. She got it. Same as the little one here!

👍 👍

This child understands the other worldly nature of waits music. Probably reminds him of the sounds he heard from the womb while his mom sat at a train crossing while a long freight went by.

Are you sure that's a baby?

Got him reaching for the bottle already.... (huh? see what I did there, yeaaaahhhhhh).

Probably just gas, but I enjoyed it.

when you put single malt whiskey in the sippy cup

I guess this video was recommended to everyone 10 months ago hahaha

Yes!

Look on the baby's face at 0:38 after hearing Tom's voice 😐

Make way everyone a new singer is coming soon . 🙌🏾🤩👍🏾

Wut song is this?

I'm all about this song + beat Hilarious

Absolutely, precious + so beautiful + so much of a healing balm that I needed right now. Thank you Sonja + Donna ❤

Im waiting for this vid to get recommended 10 years later

Great job! Definitely one of my favourites! 💙 love from Europe

Love songs I loss my daughter 2018 we have miss care I know how feel. I care two tries miss

Starving In The Belly Of A Wale, if I’m not mistaken?

Ha. Thats awesome! My daughter isn't even 2 yet and she does the same damn thing when I crank up some waits. Especially the percussion driven jams. Proves there's hope for the future

That is how I still react and I've been listening to Waits for over 3 decades.

Sounds like Cookie Monster 😮

Toms' version of Walzing Mathilda is awesome and I am not a Waits fan.

My Grandson loves Gene Pitney. Since he was about 3, if I play Gene he would come running, sit down and just listen. He loves the oldies, but especially Gene...

I'm glad someone likes tom waits

Child has good taste

My little Linda was nearly 2, no music on, Linda was humming JUST THE RIGHT BULLETS. Her first spoken words, 5 weeks after Open Heart surgery, leaving hospital American Pie started, long long gone time ago, I can still remember etc. Linda Diamonds on my windshield, she'd say Tears from Heaven. Linda loved Cosmo's Factory by Credence C. R., found her singing Woke up this morning with the sun dial shining in, found my mind in a brown paper bag and then I tripped on a cloud, fell 8 miles high, tore my mind on a jagged sky, JUST dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. Watch baby go mental, Heard it through the GRAPEVINE by C. C. R., 3 mins. in?, film baby dancing too that, or Renagade by Steppenwolf again nearly 3 mins. in, THE MUSIC film that.

I wonder how the kid would have reacted to "Pasties and a G-String"? Drooling maybe?

He wanted to get down and dance. Sweet kid.

😁😁

That sounds awful, I would not play demonic “music “ at all let alone to a poor innocent child

this made my day.

Just give her an old tin cup to bang on the table 😂

2 years without my baby 💔

Arythmic jiggling and coos of contentedness, are among the usual and proper responses to Tom Waits.
