[HQ] Tom's Diner --- Susanne Vega

[@AwesomeTingle]

Fun fact: This song was the first MP3 file ever created!

[@comb-breakerhead-banger731]

wow! really?

[@blakegriplingph]

Not necessarily so. The Fraunhofer Society used a number of other audio samples to test the format, but Suzanne's vocals were deemed to be a suitable reference material for them to fine-tune the format.

[@justanotherhuman8717]

As your fact may be fun mine is actually a fact: Tom's Diner was used as one of the main controls in the listening tests to develop the MP3 encoding algorithm, but was not the first MP3 ever created.

[@FMFvideos]

RIP mp3

"Hey whats the song that goes dududuru dududuru dududuru dududuru?"

[@tylerrose4416]

Tom's diner or Centuries by fallout boy. They sampled it from this song

[@aciralin6502]

+Wait a second I know, I was just joling

[@pchendra]

Omg i cant stop singing "tut turrurut tut turrurut..." All day loooong, so catchy!

[@Bruchlynd.Argyle]

Don't you just love a song with good "doot doots."

[@Bruchlynd.Argyle]

These doots are flowing like freshly frothed milk.

[@محمدعليالدوغجي]

+Jerry Ufer ye

[@BobaFettCh1]

Doot Doot by Freur

[@liberty496]

The sort of song that makes me want to just wander off into a new place altogether where no one knows me...

[@YouTubeExplore777]

same, go to a place where everyone is happy and nice to me. in a life where I have happiness too

[@robynd2266]

Yes, but sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came

[@martin518441]

and realise how sad an pathetic your life really is when you go to that place where nobody knows you and you never get to know anyone new and no one really pays any interest and you

[@howabout.no.]

oh man its been years since I've listened to this. so good

[@rkmugen]

It's crazy how this song was from way back 1987.... it sounds like something from at least 10-15 years later...

[@freuderickfrankenstein8417]

+rkmugen Even more so when you consider it was written November 18, 1981. (From the obituary of the guy who was drinking - William Holden).

[@marianateixeira4432]

The song still the same

[@brunnocorreia7265]

nossa procurei muito essa música!!!! agora vou ouvir até enjoar!!!

[@crabdesass6873]

One of the handful of songs that imprinted on me growing up in the 90s/early 2000s riding around in the car. I often find myself voicing out the signature "dut-dut-do-de-dut-dut-do-de" for no reason at all when I'm comfortable......needless to say I facepalmed quite hard when someone thought I was trying to reference Centuries. It's Daft Punk's HBFS and Kanye West's Stronger all over again....

[@hotatack]

Crab De Sass daft punk is soo good but, it's a real shame that only "get lucky" becomed recognized

[@andrescampos2016]

I first heard it in 1998

[@Freepalestin78]

if you wanna hear the arabic version of this song search for سيمون تاتارا it was sung by Simon an Egyptian singer in the 80's. my daughter was singing tatara tatarara and i started singing the arabic song she opned her mouth in shock :)

[@alejandroortega2227]

This song is way waaaay ahead of it's time

[@The_MexicanMamba]

It took me forever to find this ahhhhhhhhhh FINALLY!!!!

[@ashlynmurray2539]

I love this version

[@InTheBeginningTheUniverseWas]

"Does she see me? No she does not really see because she sees her own reflection." Modern life everyone.

[@Valentyne90]

For anyone wondering this specific version is from her Close-up series

[@jcav9410]

Love the bass and (sparse, but effective) electric guitar on this, almost feels like Joe Dart and Cory Wong from Vulfpeck playing them.

[@hotelmario510]

The original a capella version of this was used to fine-tune the MP3 standard to ensure the compression got the best quality sound possible. It was also used to test the FLAC compression algorithm.

[@dc2290]

Finally I found it! I spent almost a year! So happy!

[@jadesy681]

This is the song I used to sing instead of counting my steps from our home to the stores every time I was instructed to buy things over and over again when I was a kid. Touching the flowers along the way instead of feeling sorry! Hahaha

[@mahra_jabokwoam]

After spending so much time trying to find this song, I finally found it again after searching what songs were sampled in Kevin Cossom’s “I Get Paper.”

[@craigb6439]

This has been in my head all day have not heard it since highschool 20 plus years ago

[@davepulical8448]

It's taken me 'Centuries' to find this song!

[@chaneldior1107]

I love this song so much 😃 Have a great day!

[@shamrockrancher7673]

That dirty bastard withholding that coffee!

[@marianateixeira4432]

I really love this song! ❤ 1987

[@MentallyUnhappy]

u really gotta have a gift to find this song by memory and not by something u heard in the past few years. something a tv show or movie ended forever to this song and i havent forgot it but i forgot the show or movie.

[@jinjeong323]

Dad had this on a mixed music CD. This was back in like 2003 or something. Completely forgot about it until I heard my college band play Centuries and somehow I recollected an old memory.

[@mikeorndog3896]

I love how this song seems to make no sense intentionally, as if that's what makes it meaningful. I love it! Amazing how different this sounds from the DNA Remix!

Love that bass line

[@josephjimenez8420]

been listening to this song since I was a small boy playing with my tmnt figures way back in the day!

[@RireV]

When I hear this song, I always picture my first love. Not that I want to, it just seems to happen. Just like the tear who falls at the scentence 'I am thinking of your voice...'.

[@FoxtrotAlpha173]

More than 30 years of matchless affiliations with this album ❤️❤️

[@itamarorni6939]

am i the only one who is here not because of centuries ?

[@me5899]

כן

[@Mrjakleciziom]

No, you are not the only one who is not here because of centuries. I even didn't know what is that centuries but I knew this song of Sussane Vega.

[@benja778820]

im here because Giorgio Moroder ft Britney Spears Tom's Diner :v

[@aruizislas]

Even tough I've known this song for ages, I came here since I heard Guthrie Govan playing a little excerpt from this tune.

[@berfuzia6926]

im here because my aunt kept singing this

[@francescofabio31]

best version on internet

[@EGalv1]

+Francesco Fabio Estoy de acuerdo contigo

[@francescofabio31]

dajee amigo !

[@mandesacrevelle7567]

you're so correct

[@lennoxido]

alguna idea de como se llama esta version?

[@felipee.5075]

Omg yes this is the best version of this song, I hate that one with the beats but I guess that's the original ver lmao

[@Lee_Naru15]

Das Lied habe ich immer im Auto von meiner Mutter gehört. Da bin ich noch in die Grundschule gegangen. Heute bin fast 20. Wie die guten Zeiten doch vergehen.

[@sergiovazquez8599]

This one ☝️ along with the de DNA’s version are the best ❤️!

[@dylanhyllan4457]

i love this song!!!!

[@nanasyed515]

I've been searching for this song for a long longgggg time now only i found it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tawdryhepburn4686]

Wow. I’ve had this song stuck in the back of my head for, well, my whole life. But i never knew until just now that the version I knew was a remix (the DNA version). It’s so strange to hear the original after the fact. I love both versions now.

[@loveleovaldez]

I spent 3 fucking years looking for this

[@ericgeorge5483]

I am not really a 90's fan...BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ONE!!

[@Hellb88]

+Eric George It's an 80's song :)

[@ericgeorge5483]

[@josecastellanosargueta7370]

Beautiful song...

[@michaelbrewder6498]

This song reminds me of the winter of 1991 when it came out. I was in a White Tower downtown Pittsburgh on a dreary weekday afternoon eating a burger and coffee my life was in a lot of turmoil and this was like a refuge to me. Four years later I read in the Pittsburgh paper that the manager of this place was killed in a robbery. Today this site is an upscale oriental bistro. Life really sucks sometimes.

[@Noemyskillz]

holy FUKK IM SO HAPPY I FINALLY FOUND WHO SUNG DIS

[@demy4176]

I found a remix of this song a long while ago in Grooveshark and for some reason it was called OST by Marceline So glad i finally found this

[@FlipStar26]

The official remix by European producers DNA is a top-10 song in MUSIC HISTORY.

[@brenaomi]

I finally found this song after searching for it my whole childhood, now I'm 17 and I'm so proud I finally found it because 8 year old me didn't know the artist of this song

[@debashishkaushik6933]

it's like song wants to be a epic rock song but stops just before

[@olongapogremix1937]

You know that Centuries from Fall Out Boy has the exact same beginning, cool that the modern band used this.

[@psalmuelschon-meier]

My friend has been searching for this song for years. Well it happens especially when the only thing you know about it was: "The-the-thethe-the-thethehe-the-the-thethe-the-thethethe..." He should have asked me, I'm a big Susanne Vega fan and know the whole lyrics by heart! lol..

Actually Darude's Sandstorm was his attempt to cover Tom's Diner, but he didn't quite get it right...

[@ludovico5790]

I like the both versions of this song... how can you compare songs that have a different style, even if they have the same words? I mean... Giorgio Morder did a nice job with the musicality of the base and i like the simplicity of the original song. I feel differents feelings listening them, and i like it. At least... enjoy them.

[@otroscruffy]

+Ludovico Rizzo Some people really don't get the whole point of a cover, it's not suppossed to be an exact copy of the original or try to immitate it, every artist adds it's own touch and style to the songs they cover.

[@ludovico5790]

+Jorge Montes Exactly!

[@graveyardkids2551]

I'm guessing you haven't heard Tupac's dope fiend she diner his story actually makes sense

[@Lq84i-P]

@@graveyardkids2551 I havent heard that version, but I dont mean to be mean when I say this, but saying this doesn't make sense is quite ignorant. It's not some big branching story, it's supposed to paint a beautiful picture from the perspective of a person from which we get a small bit of back story. It's the simple things :) However I did just listen to Tupac's.... version...? (In lack of a better term...) Its neat.

[@jamesm1835]

I like this version over the vocal only one better. Adds more beat.

[@sophieh7918]

the music part at 2:15 reminds me of the cabinet of dr caligari

[@mpaulacasas4805]

am sitting In the morning At the diner On the corner I am waiting At the counter For the man To pour the coffee And he fills it Only halfway And before I even argue He is looking Out the window At somebody Coming in "It is always Nice to see you" Says the man Behind the counter To the woman Who has come in She is shaking Her umbrella And I look The other way As they are kissing Their hellos I'm pretending Not to see them And Instead I pour the milk I open Up the paper There's a story Of an actor Who had died While he was drinking He was no one I had heard of And I'm turning To the horoscope And looking For the funnies When I'm feeling Someone watching me And so I raise my head There's a woman On the outside Looking inside Does she see me? No she does not Really see me Cause she sees Her own reflection And I'm trying Not to notice That she's hitching Up her skirt And while she's Straightening her stockings Her hair Is getting wet Oh, this rain It will continue Through the morning As I'm listening To the bells Of the cathedral I am thinking Of your voice And of the midnight picnic Once upon a time Before the rain began I finish up my coffee It's time to catch the train

[@nikkisundori]

A moment of silence for those searching hi and low for this historical artefact

[@mr.mister9607]

Funny how the moment dad was humming this song, me and my sister thought of different songs...she thought of this one while I was thinking of "Centuries" the song sang by Fall Out Boy, but I gave a listen to this song and I like it.

[@rysmy93]

anyone hear the version with drums added. it's near impossible to find. heard it on absolute radio a while back

[@meirasanya]

Do you mean the remix by DNA? That's the version on her greatest hits album.

Lyrics Some legends are told Some turn to dust or to gold But you will remember me Remember me, for centuries Just one mistake Is all it will take We'll go down in history Remember me for centuries Hey, hey, hey Remember me for centuries Mama, fight my teenage dreams No it's nothing wrong with me The kids are all wrong the story's aloof Heavy metal, rock my heart Come on, come on and let me in I'm cruising on your thighs, leave my fingerprints And this is for tonight I thought that you would feel I never meant for you to fix yourself Some legends are told Some turn to dust or to gold But you will remember me Remember me, for centuries Just one mistake Is all it will take We'll go down in history Remember me for centuries Hey, hey, hey Remember me for centuries And I can't stop until the whole word knows my name 'Cause I was only born inside my dreams Until you die for me, as long as there is a light, my shadow is over you 'Cause I am the opposite of amnesia And you're a cherry blossom You're about to bloom You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon Some legends are told Some turn to dust or to gold But you will remember me Remember me, for centuries Just one mistake Is all it will take We'll go down in history Remember me for centuries Hey, hey, hey Remember me for centuries He's been here forever He's the chosen fruit I could scream forever We all poisoned you Some legends are told Some turn to dust or to gold But you will remember me Remember me, for centuries Just one mistake Is all it will take We'll go down in history Remember me for centuries Hey, hey, hey Remember me for centuries
