As a rule I do not post videos that are restricted in any way and must be viewed on another site. So ordinarily I would have just tossed this cover. But it is too brilliant, too spectacular, too awe-inspiring, just too, too, too … Take the journey over to YouTube and queue up the version posted by Tenkanen, then sit back and bask in its extravagance! Trust me, you will thank me later!!!

Tom Waits:

Definitive Version?

Okay, let’s slow down. Obviously, it is downright sacrilegious to dub any cover of the Master’s as a definitive version. With that said, this song was tailormade for The Ramones in the same vein that Jersey Girl was destined to find its way into Springsteen’s setlist. The Ramones do tare it up though in their remarkable cover.
