Tom Waits - Warm Beer Cold Women

[@elhorrendo7026]

Tom Waits. The patron saint of the down and out. Amd the coolest (white man, but in my eyes, just the coolest regardless of skin tone) man ever.

[@shawndimery]

My dad died today, i’ve drunk half a litre of Jim Beam, and my first thought was to come to this video. Perfect

[@25101993cb]

Hope you are doing well dude. Love from all the way from Turkey

[@MegaJetJaguar]

It's never an easy thing to lose someone that you love! Have a drink on me, dude.

[@balanchuk]

Been there friend ... I've lost both my heros , if you came here the world needs you more than you may know

[@therenegadej5764]

All the best man

[@Switcharoo12]

Mum died a month ago.✌️ 😔 🙏

[@zackincarbonite]

Tom Waits is a legend. One of the best singers and songwriters of our time.

[@pawelmatus]

Tom's an inspiration to anybody who's 'down but not out'... I write and sing just like him.

[@morquan1948]

Very bold hypothesis..

[@brandonhelton7888]

you wish

[@bastosstella]

Tom was 27 years old at that time....give me one artist these days who can do the same as he did those days...attitude, lyrics, piano, atmosphere etc... respect the man... he is "one direction"... ;-)

[@MrBumbo90]

eminem - piano LOL

[@MrPjless]

All he does is cover songs, like a bad night of karaoke

[@iamtheonlyninja]

Shit man, I'm 27 right now. Maddest respect. Love Tom Waits.

[@RLomoterenge]

Daddy Yankee

[@frankiekay]

Für mich einer der größten Musiker/Entertainer aller Zeiten!

[@jlgoods99]

this song got me through lots of lonely times

[@IckyOldMan]

In his early days I considered Tom the greatest American poet.

[@richardhartford609]

Nighthawks at the diner. Edward Hopper would probs have to cogitate on Tom's take.

[@johnn4134]

I play this on the fire extinguisher all the time at parties

[@1lightheaded]

+John Nootens And they invite you back? They are nice people

[@shortminute]

So cool to have a new Tom Waits fan. I grew up with this.

[@jamesmatlock3847]

"Warm Beer And Cold Women" (Lyrics) From the album: Nighthawks at the Diner "It's warm beer and cold women, no I just don't fit in Every joint I stumbled into tonight, that's just how its been All these double-knit strangers with gin and vermouth And recycled stories, in the naugahyde booths And the platinum blondes and tobacco brunettes I'll just be drinking to forget you, I light another cigarette And the band's playing something by Tammy Wynette And the drinks are on me tonight All my conversations now, I'll just be talking about you, baby I'm boring some sailor as I try to get through I just want him to listen now I say that's all you have to do He said I'm better off without you, until I showed him my tattoo And now the moon's rising, ain't no time to lose Time to get down to drinking, tell the band to play the blues And the drinks are on me I'll buy another round At the last ditch attempt saloon Warm beer and cold women, no I just don't fit in Every joint I stumble into tonight, that's just how it's been All these double-knit strangers with gin and vermouth Receding hairlines, in the naugahyde booths And the platinum blondes and tobacco brunettes I'll just be drinking to forget you, baby, I light a menthol cigarette And the band's playing something by Johnnie Barnette At the last ditch attempt saloon."

[@nobodyyouknow222]

thanks james.

[@rafi1234321]

2:27 He said "Wates, you're better off without her"

[@ligialewis2182]

Tom is a master , and he is accompanied here in this video by an amazing saxophonist and bass player . Very cool, very relaxing. GLewis, Sr.

[@unocarb]

Warm beer and cold women? My life in a nutshell

[@ArkadyJ]

One day song like that will not be sang. What a sorry place it will be.

[@thelostirishmanmik]

tom waits is the last great song writer of our time. the man is a legend. This song always puts me in mind of a Vegas lounge at 3:00 am.

[@oknarbtal]

This year I got rejected at Music Academy in Graz. Though they said I was pretty good, they tried to convince me that the fire extinguisher just ain't a suitable nor legitimate instrument. To hell with those preposterous bastards.

[@jerryhanley4279]

here is the man that gave you the music and song, replayed and re tuned by so many. But he will always will be the their demise.he is the master of the soul..

[@ian485]

This is the sort of thing I dream about sharing with my children. Art that's simple, but brilliant and warm! Uncle Tom is one of a kind!

[@lauriebonjo7868]

Ivan Martynov I love that you said that because these are the lullabies my grandmother sung to me as a kid #noBarneyupinhurr

[@ronaldwilliams3743]

uncle tom??????....that's racist.....hehehe

[@warrenbunce2280]

So waits is your uncle, true or false?. Does anyone have a clue, about the soul of Tom waits. Not in these comments!!!

[@dmw321]

He's one of my all time favorite musicians. This is one of my personal favorites of his. From Nighthawks at the Diner. A great album..another one of my favorite albums is Rain Dogs.

[@dortesandal4303]

I love you Tom. All my love from Dorte ♥️

[@Switcharoo12]

The pictures peeking out of his jacket pockets.🤘 Tom is so cool

[@azarnaimian]

Dieser Künstler hat mich mit keinem einzigen Album enttäuscht.Dieses ist grandios und eines meiner liebsten.Fünf Sterne!

[@dietermangold2049]

(y) Es gibt noch Dauerbrenner.. :)

[@frankiekay]

Auch für mich einer der größten Künstler aller Zeiten.

[@sclogse1]

All those awesome chords while he's just warming up.... Unbelievable.

[@JDL-y6l]

언제들어도..빠져들게 되는 토미..🌷 오늘은 블루스왈츠군요.. 항상 그렇듯이..목소리도..연주도..곡도...멋져요. 음..토요일밤이니..다정한 여인과 시원한 맥주가 더 좋겠는데요~^^ Cool Waits!👍

[@LisbethWesttheoriginal]

Aint nobody can tell my life like Waits

[@chadmurphi]

Holy Jesus he was younger there. Goes to show you that you should give some leeway to young people with passion. The man is a legend now.

[@Vigilante311]

He was 27 here, what 27 year old sings, looks or writes like this today? They all have quiffs and wipe their teardrops off their ukuleles, shameful

[@stevejbons]

"I'm at the last ditch attempt saloon". . . great line.

[@SFRWood]

Kinda a torch song. It was written primarily for piano and fire extinguisher.

[@Witregel]

SFRWood Surprisingly nobody laughed at that.

[@josiepkat]

the man was so far ahead of his time no one knew what the hell to make of him.

[@1magnificentreg]

i "think" he said, "TORT" song... made more sense when i looked it up.

[@alleyoop4465]

Regi Mc Torch

[@imdun]

He was in Denmark, nobody understood what the hell he was saying.

[@giovanna-jennysantagati1585]

I love warm beer.....I love this warm piece, the warm voice and the warm music.....

[@scottlemley2666]

Damn man, I need a gin & tonic and a couple lucky strikes and I don't even smoke.

[@Amsterdamiss]

Cheers !!!

[@edsweb7]

Now THAT is Damned Funny Buddy !!!!

[@emresayn8298]

keep listening and you will smoke..

[@mitchplaysard2594]

amen

[@Yrr666]

Was curious as to why Tom never smoked cigars. Might have done wonders for his voice - lol

[@johncrimmins6314]

My friend and me would sing this around "78 when we would be coming home after a big nights drinking. Obviously we had had no success with the opposite sex that night.

[@robertbelair5041]

Warm Beer and Cold Women.....I think I've been there before.

[@johnzook7533]

Yup.

[@sclogse1]

Listen to those piano chords...the whole thing....absolutely gorgeous tune.

[@lourencoalves9340]

Para mim é um artista completo... longa vida ao Tom Waits.

[@37Dionysos]

"A torch song written for piano and fire extinguisher..." by a man whose Dad was "an exhaust manifold" and his Mom "a tree"....

[@jackcaulfield2]

I believe Tony Franciosa used to date that tree.

[@philipmelton7182]

Facts

[@ExodusPessoa]

This is maybe my favourite title for a song.

[@k-bretta9087]

That is funny-torch songs written for fire extinguishers. Good job

[@TaNgLeD2121]

Funny how life works... thought i just herd this for the first time... turns out i was here 8 years ago probably drunk and thumbs this up n commented lol... maybe ill stumble back here in my 50’s......

[@m3mayo]

Best version of the song ever

[@Switcharoo12]

Haha... The pin up in his jacket pocket! Love you Tom.👍

[@rioalbert3866]

Happy 66 Birthday Tom Waitts... Yup, its today

[@johnathonmorales9045]

that's my bday

[@1lightheaded]

+Johnathon Morales Then you should have no trouble writing music like this :)

[@johnathonmorales9045]

Dude I'm playing my guitar right this second. I'm too critical with my writings.

[@jayrayhoossongsilivedby5444]

Merry Christmas Charlie. Wherever you are.

[@richardwilson9978]

why does it take a loved one to die before we hear real music, I really am sorry for your loss but damn Tom is alive please appreciate him he's real genius so enjoy his presence and thank him cause he is really you just listen

[@axsys212]

The dutch subtitles make this video somehow utterly complete

[@TheVatonaught]

Used to drive all the way to Wyoming with my buddy...he has since died... we got into Tom and used his stuff to transport ourselves through the sage brush and sunsets.

[@marklines2599]

Tom, the boy, as I was, then. Life is...

[@pwil30]

one of my all time favs by Tom Waits. haha...couldnt stop laughing after seeing that zoom in on the mag in his pocket...lol...only Tom Waits.

[@AlexMartinez-de9th]

Why does he have that picture, I was thinking maybe it’s to make him feel the music and sing it better with emotion but I’m not sure

[@Calistogakid2u]

I'm always pleased and surprised when I learn of all his peers who are also fans.

[@danielslade6241]

Thank god for the subtitles !

[@kebecers66]

Daniel Slade Now it's clear

[@DavyWhitezel]

+Daniel Slade Hahaha, you just need to be as drunk as he is in this to understand him.

[@skaface32]

thank gOD for not existing

[@matsnotfat]

"Don't cha know there ain't no Devil.... That's just God when he's drunk..."

[@Jinglebell1011]

It's from Danish public service TV

[@charlesblyou5621]

always loved tom waits

[@1lightheaded]

+Charles Ewing That would leave no time for anything else .You must be exhausted

[@DougCamfield]

i think no matter what others say, people will always like whatever makes that emotional connection with them. tom makes that connection easy for some people. not everyone likes the same music and thats why theres more than 1 band out there in the world. enjoy yours and ill enjoy mine.

[@philipmelton7182]

'I'm at "the last.....ditch attempt" Salooooon!!!! Thank you Mr waits again

[@dracopresley77]

Man! This is so god it just make you go to a different world were is nothing else but pure magic.......

[@surtuo]

You know he actually is like that in real life, my best friend is marrying his niece. He is a sure classy man. He is real wherever he is, that is why I absolutely love Tom.

[@BobRobertAdams]

Just got Tom playing in the background and I pause for a moment ''Did he just say it was written for a piano and a fire extinguisher?''

[@rutabagasteu]

Yup, he sure did.

[@axsys212]

True. Thanks. Your a genius. Listen, when any of the above named countries produce a genius like Tom waits, let me know, ok? We give them Tom Waits, they give us Gary Neumann...

[@billywilsoncreative]

sharp as a razor…soft as a prayer

[@Ferretsong]

I want that on my tombstone...

[@bingobaggins1592]

Warm beer and cold woman reminds of Germany

[@antonb9459]

We do only have cold beer and warm women sir ;D At least the thing with the beer

[@sclogse1]

God, what wonderful melody. This guy is the best.

[@eastvillinLA]

Piano and Fire Extinguisher songs are my favorite.

[@losingiswinning]

This song is amazing, one of my favorites by him!

[@sclogse1]

It's the god damn melody....he pulls these things out of his hat....and then sings the damn things like no one else has ever done...Nails 'em. Touring is great for this...he turned his first albums good tunes into classics when he toured. If you ever hear what he did with Midnight Lullaby after his first album...it's blow your doors off. Awesome. (Gotta find it on a bootleg)

[@zaperfan]

Written for piano and fire extinguisher!!

[@anadryantontine]

+zaperfan And the audience has zero reaction to that great joke. So lame.

[@richardholmes3536]

Yeah, it's a torch song...

[@1lightheaded]

+zaperfan The piano was drunk or at least been drinking

[@johnzook7533]

The combo's went back to New York.

[@beetvalley]

can you please explain the joke?

[@TheGhost897]

Tom Waits is an amazing songwriter. He always was, is, and will be. But his singing has changed drastically since the 70's and 80's. The same thing happened to him that happened to Bob Dylan, he lost his old voice

[@boardskins]

This is the first Tom Waits song I ever heard. Great stuff.

[@damonwynne2824]

Tom is The Man....one of the few I will hold close like family my whole life....he really put it out there for us.

[@rickpulli9772]

This song has not got any less significant with time. Love it

[@charlesblyou5621]

Always thought Tom waits was the best.

[@mikecodyuniversaloptimist]

At last someone saw the artistry in his performances...kudos pal

[@jennifermckenzie2620]

A always, an absolutely mind expanding performance. A truly incredible artist.

[@MegaPiano2010]

Amazing bass playing. Holy cow!

[@MegaZeroBlues]

Thank you Waits. I needed that.

[@dfhzrf]

Thank you, Tom!

[@gat1240]

Beside being written for piano and fire extinguisher, It's also written in 3/4 time-it's a WAITS WALTZ

[@mikegrinder7539]

Waits is a genius. Check out "Nighthawks at the Diner in its entirety

[@ucdbnxt7318]

Been listening to THAT album since 1977.. STILL amazing...

[@12ruedespompiers]

I cant agree with you more. thank you.

[@alabastardmasterson]

Best subtitled video I've watched today

[@taigaooma]

いい曲有難う〜♡

[@funkymonkfred]

i can't belive im 18m and i've only just stumbled across this man he's something else, he's going to be in the new Terry Gilliam movie :)

[@RubyFoxxx]

Top man! Top song! Top performance!

[@secretsus]

love love LOVE this! His voice is like gravel but I like it...it's ok to have a crush on 1976 Tom Waits right?

[@krykkeroev]

Arwhh... He sings right through my heart. This song is really touching o;

[@AtreVire]

Fuck this video is 41 years old. Like staring back in time, literally. Hope I get to meet Tom before he kicks the bucket.

[@axsys212]

...and i have enjoyed chatting with you. Glad you like Tom, he's a hero of mine. All the best, Ciao

[@jerrybuck7844]

[@famron]

Tom is timeless!

Lyrics Warm beer and cold women, I just don't fit in Every joint I stumbled into tonight That's just how it's been All these double knit strangers with Gin and vermouth and recycled stories In the naugahyde booths With the platinum blondes And tobacco brunettes I'll be drinkin' to forget you Lite another cigarette And the band's playin' something By Tammy Wynette And the drinks are on me tonight All my conversations I'll just be Talkin' about you baby Borin' some sailor as I try to get through I just want him to listen That's all you have to do He said I'm better off without you Till I showed him my tattoo Now the moon's rising Ain't got no time to lose Time to get down to drinking Tell the band to play the blues Drink's are on me, I'll buy another round At the last ditch attempt saloon Warm beer and cold women, I just don't fit in Every joint I stumbled into tonight That's just how it's been All these double knit strangers with Gin and vermouth and recycled stories In the naugahyde booths With the platinum blondes And tobacco brunettes I'll be drinking to forget you Lite another cigarette And the band's playing somethin' By Johnnie Barnett And the drinks are on me tonight

[@juliandougherty]
