[@bestdjintown]

In one of her videos where she tells the story of this song, she said it never caught on as she hoped it would with the original version. Then some time later, her manager called and said someone had used the song (DNA) and made a "Remix" without any permission, and said she should not worry about anything as they were getting ready to sue them. She asked them hold off on the lawsuit, and listened the song, and loved it so much that she asked them to leave them alone, and the song became very famous...!

The "Mother of the MP3" An article in the now defunct magazine Business 2.0 revealed that "Tom's Diner" was also used by Karlheinz Brandenburg to develop the audio compression scheme known as MP3 at what is now the Fraunhofer Society. He recalled: "I was ready to fine-tune my compression algorithm...somewhere down the corridor, a radio was playing 'Tom's Diner.' I was electrified. I knew it would be nearly impossible to compress this warm a cappella voice." In a 2009 documentary about the history of the song by Swedish SVT, Brandenburg said: "I was finishing my PhD thesis, and then I was reading some hi-fi magazine and found that they had used this song to test loudspeakers. I said 'OK, let's test what this song does to my sound system, to MP3'. And the result was, at bit rates where everything else sounded quite nice, Suzanne Vega's voice sounded horrible." Brandenburg adopted the song for testing purposes, listening to it again and again each time he refined the scheme, making sure it did not adversely affect the subtlety of Vega's voice. While the MP3 compression format is not specifically tuned to play the song "Tom's Diner" (an assortment of critically analyzed material was involved in the design of the codec over many years), among audio engineers this anecdote has earned Vega the informal title "The Mother of the MP3"

[@colincampbell437]

Totally with you on the both versions response. It allows you to compare and contrast. Love the Albert hall version with a totally respectful audience (as I would expect at RAH) allowing the audience to hear clearly her excellent voice. In the DNA version you get the hooks and beat which draw you along. Both masterful imo

Tom’s Diner / Song by Suzanne Vega I 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 Instead, I pour the milk I open up the paper There's a story of an actor Who had died while he was drinking It was no one I had heard of And I'm turning to the horoscope 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 Written by Suzanne Vega Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.

[@adambanks856]

Allen Dmith is this written iambic pentameter?

[@Mr-__-Sy]

Why are the last 4 lyrics added if those aren't even singed?

[@zanti4132]

It's not iambic pentameter, which is ba-BOP ba-BOP ba-BOP ba-BOP ba-BOP, i.e. five blocks of a unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This song has four blocks of "da da DA da," which makes it some kind of tetrameter, except the "da da DA da," i.e. four syllables with the accent on the third syllable, doesn't have a name. The fact that this pattern isn't recognizable must be why it is so annoyingly catchy.

This song was pretty ahead of its time. It's crazy how it originally released in 1987 and was remixed in 1990 with this version here, but it sounds like it's from 1994 - 1996.

[@GradyBroyles]

it wasn't "remixed" per se. The original (and the only one BY Suzanne Vega) was/is acapella.. This version was not only un-official it was illegal at the time. They've long since settled, but at the time Vega was a little upset about it.

In-fact, this is known to be one of the best, if not THE best, remix-songs ever produced, in-terms of the difference between it and the original production. This was also the first song ever on mp3-format, specifically because it has such a large musical range and instrumentation!!! This is a truly timeless song/remix that has not only withstood the test-of-time, but remains an absolute favorite of many, if not most people, for the decades since it was first released as a boot-leg from DNA's car trunks.

This is the most minimalistic song I've ever heard! A song so short but remains a permanent stain in my memory! I was 14 when this came out. 30 years has gone by super FAST!! Let's just hope this song will be in people's memories for another 30 years and beyond! I also love the energy this gives! This is one of those motivational get up and go type of songs that would get me through school 🏫 when the 🚌 strike was going on around 91-92 🏫 season. This song is definitely worth the download!

[@Arczir1337]

I just realized you're refering to the recent uncensored / full cut of the dream sketch which used this as a soundtrack, didn't know it when I commented, now suddently your comment makes sense.

I JUST REALIZED THIS SONG IS THE BACKGROUND MUSIC TO THE DREAM SKETCH!!! I loved the song to begin with, now I love it even more. MDE never dies.

To me This is ONE of few songs that REALLY captured the art of the REMIX.. TIMELESS!

[@alancortazzo9161]

It's better that way. Rhyming is lazy.

[@rashadpearson3924]

I literally can’t think of a song that as cool as this It literally encapsulates big city American culture in the early 90s
