Killers, thieves and cookies

OK, you may hate Tom Waits, but you have to admit this is well done.



Kissing the little girl at 0:30--priceless.

I have about 17 favorite moments in this mash-up. We'll discuss them in the comments.

  1. So I guess that means someone has to comment? Okay, I like how Cookie Monster's mom looks just like him only with a curly blue wig.

  2. I love this because it erases any trace of what is annoying, nay deeply offensive, about Tom Waits.-Kathleen

  3. I burst into tears once after listening to "A little rain" on Bone Machine. Waits is definitely a guy thing. Well, needless to say that was before I was married....

    When CM does that face-palm thing I lose it laughing every time.

    OK. Here's another CM youtube fave if you don't mind the really bad language. Very funny hip-hop rip-off.

  5. Kathleen, I haven't used a cast-iron skillet for many a year, but I was thinking. Do you like cast iron furniture? I got some when we bought our house a year ago. It's very nice and not at all overly masculine.

  6. I don't like Charles Bukowski much. Even worse are his legion of fans who think he's brilliant. I'm not sure I can say that describing a hoooker having sex with a cockroach in anything but juvenile.

  7. I guess I'm too old to know about Charles Bukowski (y'all made me look him up). And I still don't know about Charles Bukowski, nor am I now much interested in reading anything he's written. And no, I don't think I'll start with Flower, Fist, Ass and Bestial Wail -- I guess that's only for "guys".

    Cast iron skillets I get, tho. Unless you're referring to Charles Bukowski's work on that subject.

    P.S. Wikipedia says there are eleven "major" biographies written about him??!?!?
