Sitting in a cafe in Mt. Airy, Philadelphia (too hot to be home, so I relocated here to read and write some). Suddenly a song they were playing got my attention.
I mean, commanded my attention. I couldn't ignore it, and didn't want to. I put down my book and just listened. And then went to ask the guy behind the counter what song this was.
Clap Hands, by Tom Waits.
Holy moly.
You can listen to the track here (takes a few seconds for it to load and start). The lyrics are here. And, as a bonus, after You've listened to it once, You can also see an especially freaky version here.
Man. So much power in such simple lyrics, such simple music. Gotta love it.
And, of course, You can tango to it. :-)
