Shuffle Sundays: Tango Till They're Sore (Tom Waits)

Jan 31, 2010, 9:58am Cover Me

Shuffle Sundays is a weekly feature in which we feature a cover chosen at random by my iTunes shuffle. The songs will usually be good, occasionally be bad, always be interesting. All downloads will only be available for one week, so get them while you can.

"This is a song about suicide," Tom Waits said by way of introduction to "Tango Till They're Sore" at a 1996 concert. "But it's a fun song."
