Tom Waits cold water

[@gregkleven5639]

Tom Waits is a pure genius in his use of words and music. I've been to many of his shows and never heard him play song the same way as before. He's like Dylan in that he is constantly reinventing himself and his words and music (sounds?). I first listened to him in 1967 and believe he is better today than he was when he was younger. If you ever get a chance go and see him. You won't regret it.

[@Shzuki]

Wonderful song and video. Just awesome. I am thoroughly awed :)

[@MrTurboTord]

The vid to this great song... just amazing!!! Best!

[@scotttowles2623]

Many years after originally seeing this tribute video, yet I'm still compelled to watch it again and again. There's just something about it that draws me in. And that guitar solo from 3:10 to 3:55 is sublime.

[@JHandcock1111]

AWESOME video dude! Goes VERY WELL with a AWESOME song!!!!

[@joeygarage77]

okay, i got a problem i have learned every tom waits song on guitar, and just when im done i find a lost dusty gem of one like this! you can never run out of Waits songs to do!

[@cellojordan]

I don't understand people who criticize Tom Waits but like Howlin' Wolf. They both had soulful growls.

[@Selchie0mer]

Love this song.. made the line "stores are open but I ain't got no money" my new ringtone..

[@amandascenee]

Very well put together. Waits is a genius.

[@colliedogjoy]

fabulous, really great tribute.

[@aiwala]

Brilliant ;) Looking forward to see Tom soon!

[@storiesread]

My favorite Tom Waits song.

[@thomfish06]

i LOVE this song....i think it might be one of my top three...no maybe top five. and his best albums are definatley Mule Variation and Closing Time

[@ragnaccio71]

grande Tom,la tua voce roca mi fa' morire.TRoppo forte. Un punto di sicurissimo riferimento per molti.

[@aiwala]

Can't stop watching ;))

[@aiwala]

I love the Jack Nicholson Shining-Poster... Brilliant Tom!

[@heser]

[@dosclarineros]

[@andymouse]

[@MsArtistick]

Hes got the best set of pipes EVER

[@Heintz0]

Nice pic of Nicholson!. Great video, man.

[@eliogavi]

Genial video, buena produccion, i love tom´s music.

[@2boddah]

[@SILVERTRIGGERJACK]

[@CathalMelinn]

[@honeycreeper6299]

[@sean57]

love it!

[@roccoharris]

@Shreeves16 that man has changed boatloads of us. here, here...!!

[@sozialprodukt]

very well done - black and white supports the scene

[@osbogosley]

Some of the most remembered moments, in my life, were when I ain't got no money.

[@behindtheranges]

Hey guys, who plays lead guitar here? Sounds like David Hidalgo, but I could be wrong.

[@MegaLittlebrick]

[@godhimself01]

Best song by far on Mule Variations.

[@sclogse1]

@LandoftheShanks find Cold Feet, a great oddball movie that Waits is in..it's his biggest role ever...well, close in size to his role in Dr. Parnassus...anyway, jsut get it..on DVD..cheap, classic, nuts...made in the 1980's... Now.

[@Horidikanas]

Nah.. Not even legend can describe him. We need to think up of a more epic word just for him!

[@ian7241]

Is there more Waits songs that sound like this? Also Goin out west with a heavy blues?

[@WKRPinCINN]

i just sop up the wine from the bottom of the recycling bin of my apartment complex. i've got plenty of glasses at home...

[@suricatafari]

Marc Ribot's solo guitar for eternity.

[@seymourlj]

mother can sing, period.

[@Selchie0mer]

No, a ringtone was an opportunity to share with people Tom Waits... even if it's just that tiny little bit. His music is something you usually don't discover unless someone shares it with you.

[@nathanoman1]

theres plenyty of original artists...they just dont usually make much money

[@oragamimushrooms]

Hey, I'm a teenager and I like Tom Waits, just saying. I know most people have less unusual tastes than me, though

[@Aztecboy1]

since when did the cookie monster come out with a album

[@SAlJar1]

This is all our life, in general.

[@mothsmoke]

thanks for your insightful comments...spielberg.

[@borzas]

raind dogs is the best one I think but Mule Variations is among the many "second ones" (along with Swordishtrombones, Blood Money, The Black Rider etc.). this song is great, btw.

[@Liberaljamoke]

If Tom Waits were any cooler, he'd be a one man solution to global warming (plus, he's a musical genius).

[@kelcarell]

I chose to believe he's saying "I met an old dog and he sneeeeeeezed a lot."

[@nathanoman1]

I woke up with this song in mny head....I dont know why

[@612franklin]

my sides are hurting. if i don't stop replaying this vid i'll probably hemorrhage....

[@Queerienlannister]

Well I woke up this morning With the cold water With the cold water With the cold water Woke up this morning With the cold water With the cold water With the cold Police at the station And they don't look friendly Well they don't look friendly Well they don't look friendly Police at the station And they don't look friendly They don't look friendly well They don't Blind or crippled Sharp or dull I'm reading the Bible By a 40 watt bulb What price freedom Dirt is my rug Well I sleep like a baby With the snakes and the bugs Well the stores are open But I ain't got no money I ain't got no money Stores are open but I Ain't got no money Ain't got no money Well I ain't Found an old dog And he seems to like me Seems to like me Well he seems to like me Found an old dog and he Seems to like me Seems to like me Well he seems Seen them fellows With the card board signs Scrapin up a little money To buy a bottle of wine Pregnant women and The Vietnam vets I say Beggin on the freeway Bout as hard as it gets Well I slept in the graveyard It was cool and still Cool and still It was cool and still Slept in the graveyard It was cool and still Cool and still and it Was cool Slept all night in the Cedar grove I was born to ramble Born to rove Some men are searchin for the Holy Grail But there ain't nothin sweeter Than ridin the rails I look 47 but I'm 24 Well they shooed me away From here the time before Turned there their backs And they locked their doors I'm watchin T.V. in The window of a furniture store Well I woke up this morning With the cold water With the cold water With the cold water Woke up this morning With the cold water With the cold water With the cold

[@RJcur]

great lyrics aren't they!!

[@stevejaubert2892]

This reminds me of a place I used to live, "The Warren House" I nicknamed it "The Wanted House" because of all the shady characters walking the concentration camp halls. It's too bad Section 8 housing gravitates to this low life existence which is an adventure for a few minuted but for some a life sentence. Too many wind up down there because of themselves so the victim theme portrayed a bit here is not entirely accurate unless it's the one just looking to save a few bucks. In that case any time you get a few bucks get out or someone will try to get your bucks from you. It's a fine line living on the edge romanticizing it and simply failing to find whatever it is you sank low to find out. If you lucky you can package it and sell it for a few bucks for yourself - if you don't die from the starvation.

[@dnmph]

Haha, I think that'd be great... Might make me like tom's sining even more!

[@aiwala]

oh and btw, love the Jack Nicholson Shining-Poster...

[@bluwesel]

RIP George Carlin, BTW. Is that him in the Playboy at the beginning?

[@BrotherAngstrom]

I do like Tom's multiple singing personalities. HOWEVER.... Several months back I switched on a goofy morning radio program, and I heard what I THOUGHT was a new Tom Waits song, but turned out it was a bit that the shockjocks (Opie/Anthony) were doing by getting an actual homeless guy into the studio to sing impromptu songs. The homeless guy's song seemed more authentic and better somehow. Since that experience, I've not really dug Tom Waits as much.

[@WKRPinCINN]

thats a typical saturday night for me

[@andymouse]

who was it who said " woke up with a koala" funny as fuck love tom ta bits

[@MissesWaits]

Nice Vid :) Grrr ;)

[@webstercat]

Waits works for ya or he don't. Ain't no rhyme and reason for it. My favorite artist of all time. Kinda like Joanna Newsome either you love her or hate her.

[@jdjisaok90]

Can't go wrong with Cocoa Puffs in a wine glass.

[@oldpossum]

yeah what a great guy Carlin was remember how i use to laugh my ass off over his stuff

[@wafflelust]

Did he say he woke up this morning with a Koala? Musta been a wild night.

[@suricatafari]

@karl198 could be. Tom could do it of course, but: Mule Variations track listing: 6. 'Cold Water' 5:23; Musicians: Marc Ribot - Guitar Solo (6, 9). check it on wikipedia > Mule Variations. both masters! love Waits, love Ribot.

[@MsNicola2009]

like so much

[@andymouse]

@joeygarage77 keep up the faith dude !!!

[@billionear]

Good. Lets keep Tom to ourselves. He is the worlds best kept secret!! Who wants 'braindead turds' disrespecting our Tom anyway with their shallow thinking!

[@GeeRad]

that was in response to BrotherAngstrom by the way, see I cling to this ideal that Tom Waits fans are mature peolpe who respect different opinions, (but msneverquit's just a troll who needs no attention beyond this). BRING ON THE THUMBS DOWNS!

[@SuzzyStohelit]

How can anyone not laugh at this video are they drunk or what? I loved the Jack Nicholson on the wall, so I'm going to watch this again, and yes, don't argue it takes the fun away...

[@dosclarineros]

a mi tambien, bolito aficionado, proyectandome a lo profesional

[@TaraLynnElizabeth]

"found an old dog and it seems to like me" :)

[@bigbattenberg]

It's makes me sad that even a great Waits song cannot escape being made into a stupid ringtone... it's like taking the heart out of it or something... difficult to explain, but it's wrong.

[@oldmanjenkins89]

the box says coco pebbles but he pours out coco puffs! i know my cereal. great song tho

[@Anti1989Creative]

i'm reading that now so i'm gonna assume you've been drunk every day for a year. can i getcha a beer for that accomplishment sir? i have a... warm... and warmer.

[@Kallekallsen]

@wafflelust cold water not koala :P

[@wafflelust]

@wurzelschlump666 One might think that based on the title on this page, but you never know.

[@jcfegz]

Cold water

[@andymouse]

@wurzelschlump666 the guy was jokeing...yes it's the name of the track..hehehe...take it easy pal

[@webstercat]

Tom is not on the internet, there is not internet, it just a vicious rumor going around, what are you watching is a toaster, at least it is on my end.

[@WKRPinCINN]

yea, but do you eat cocoa pebbles and wine from a glass while listening to tom waits?

[@tuffymouseart49]

cold water, jerk,... cold water!!

[@MikeMcKenzieLOL]

Found an old dog and he seems to like me ...

[@amandascenee]

Hahaha, I'll agree with you on that. =)

[@TCSpencer3229]

H-ey! Those aren't cocoa pebbles!

[@andymouse]

@ChrisGnosis hahahahha..squeak!

[@SilntAlice]

come back to the twin cities!!!!!

[@andymouse]

@wurzelschlump666 of course it is !!!...have IQ's suddenly gone down

[@andymouse]

@kelcarell hehehehhehehh...yeah now thats all i hear hahahhahah

[@mexens]
