@@AldousHuxleysCat Just heard this song for the first time and thought is this a Cohen tune covered by Waits ? When learned it was a Wait's written song I said hmmm...wow. Great tune

My first Waits album was Rain Dogs. My most intense episode of listening to one of his albums was as a passenger in a car. 4 of us went to a Pink Floyd show, 1 designated driver, and 3 of us tripping and smoking through the show and the rain. Our "designated driver" drove us through the night but leaving the city in a continuous rain and Neon signs streaking by. Once out of the city the songs took on a new life with words that hit home deeply and sometimes even a comedic splatter here and there. I think that we heard the entire CD at least twice in a row and it didn't fail us. That was so long ago now. In times before cameras and cell phones or Windows 95, non-musical electronics destroyed a chapter of history.

Seriously though, of all the things I love, I never thought Tom Waits and The Muppets would overlap. Good job!

I was introduced to Tom in the late 80 with Rain Dogs - been a love affair ever since...

Waits has got just the right amount of weird for me to be always devoted to his music.

Only one and forever Tom Waits!

How is this not on every television in the world upon broadcast release date? smh

"I would rather have a bottle in front of me, then have a frontal labotomy." _Tom_

can't help but think of Leonard ♥♥♥

Your sister CW and I hung out at HHS. I was a year or two behind you,🍦🙋‍♂️! We loved you and knew you were different then, an Old Soul. You haven’t let us down! 💕

I think it’s only fitting that Tom has a song called Nighthawks at the Diner after the Edward Hopper painting! Mr. Waits paints us such a visible tangible Palpable picture with his lyricism! “Wrote goodbye in the dust on the good…” I mean, damn! So good!

Tom looks better than he has in years

My first song played with guitar was 'Chocolate Jesus' I love this guy.

I've just crested my 30th birthday. My introduction to Tom Waits was stumbling on Real Gone... somehow. I can't recall the details. Maybe through a friend. This was probably around 2016? Anyways, when I heard "Hoist That Rag," I was blown away -- not just by his unique voice, but the force of the words, such a bare bones story given so much weight by the simple choice of "rag," and the emotion Tom threw into the words. Been hooked on his poetry every since. Anyways, great video -- two things I love in this world, Tom Waits and puppetry. You put them together and it's an instant hit for me!

That’s interesting, I thought the same, and the harmony singers sound like the sisters that were on Leonard’s last live album.

His quest is naively pure; to be pure is to be wise, ...

T.W. Is a true original Americana treasure trove ahead of his time

That was fantastic.

Great little ditty with a gritty beat. Thanks Tom. Keep em coming

Haunting.

Tom Waits is such a unique and monumental artist I normally wouldn't listen to covers but I was caught unaware and this is great!! I think Linda Thompson's cover of "day after tomorrow" is really good but I haven't heard many pull off a Tom Waits song. And one of his best! Great job!! ✌️🥸

You have a voice worthy of a Waits number!

Just love it, that puppet is just how I would picture mr. Waits as a puppet! ❤❤❤ And the video is perfectly done!!! great job!!!🤘

It never ends!

I am 68 and have some good Waits stories. I saw him 4 or 5 times for free. The Troubadour would have open mike night on Mondays. He would come walking in , almost every week I am told but certainly almost every time I went there, and play a few songs. Then another time I was dancing to a punk band at Madame Wu's . My girlriend leaned into my ear and said look at that guy next to you trying to act like he is Tom Waits. I looked next to me and replied, it is and that is Rickie Lee Jones that he is dancing with.

I am the 1000th subscriber!

How illustriously Tom Waits for evidently a dark and steamy Circus that will hollow out your dreams, and make room for some of his.

LOVE tom , his music i only heard in one radio indy!!

This is priceless. I love it 🌚

Absolutely brilliant, thanks for this ❤

Nice one

Just great!

I knew Tom is an alien and wearing a human suit to fit in as best he can.

I love Tom Waits!!

God truly exceptional

Songs so good you are sad when they end

I remember when I first discovered Tom Waits, I sent a tape to my brother. He said, "What is this? Grover's greatest hits?" Love the Tom Waits. This is a terrific rendition. I would love to play this on my show #cultofthehummingbird

Another Masterpiece Tom!

Much like many a dark and grim mystery, more to the story is revealed just when we think the story is over. 🕵️

Brilliant, thank you

Waits did a skit with Iggy Pop once. I guess this was on SNL. In the skit, they meet (as themselves) in a bar, and they don't get along very well. Major awkwardness. Iggy mentions he doesn't see any of Tom's songs on the jukebox. Then he leaves and Tom checks out the jukebox and goes "Huh- none of his songs either."

Real talk

Awesome

Incredible

I think I like this. Aloha~~ from Hawaii~~ 🍍🤙🤙

Consummate Waits! Although I don't recall hearing that particular variation on his normal growl before, the animation is certainly a suitable depiction - whatever that raggedy creature is? - of what a voice like that may emanate from! Great stuff!

y first experience of Tom Wait music was Downtown train, that was years ago and only just got back into his music, F'in awesome so many different flavours of Tom lol

Great 😊❤

Wundershowzen vibes!

Genius.

This used to be one of my least favorite because I didn’t agree. I don’t think about or care about how I die. I’m sure it will suck but I definitely don’t want to know. But this video makes me like the song. It… puts a face on it. And now I see that like many of his songs it’s from the perspective of a character and now I see that character and I like it.

Definitely shades of CookieWaits here. I dig it.

I was wonderin what the Muppets were doin.

Tom Waits is a G.
