- "Burma Shave is an American shaving-cream company, like Colgate. They advertise on the side of the road and they have these limericks which are broken up into different signs like pieces of a fortune cookie. You drive for miles before you get the full message. "PLEASE DON'T"... five miles... "STICK YOUR ARM OUT SO FAR"... another five miles... "IT MIGHT GO HOME"... five more miles... "IN ANOTHER MAN'S CAR - BURMA SHAVE." They reel you in. So when I was a kid I'd see these signs on the side of the road - BURMA SHAVE, BURMA SHAVE - and I'm young and I think it's the name of a town and I ask my dad, "When we getting to Burma Shave?" So in the song I used Burma Shave as a dream, a mythical community, a place two people are trying to get to. They don't make it."
(Tom Waits in Time Out magazine,interview by Richard Rayner. Date: New York, October 1985)
oh man i have been a tom waits fan for years and that captured the beauty of his music ....great thanks so much!!!!!
Thanks for the info on the song. It is my favorite Tom Waits song from the albums that predate Swordfishtrombone.
And your rendition is as infinitely sad as the original. Great job, Sir.
Wow, this was absolutely stunning. it was just so beautiful and haunting; not the 1st think that comes to mind when you hear ukulele. I just think this is amazing, I'm truly blown away.
Einfach toll, nichts kann mich mehr entspannen, mir helfen runter zu kommen und alles einfach mal zu vergessen als deine Instrumentalcover vom guten Tom.
Einfach vielen Dank
Hey, freut mich, vielen Dank! Grüße von Pascal
Thank you for the story behind the song. It makes it even more powerful and strong.
You play with your gut, it feels that way when I listen.
¡BRAVO!
Wow, the classical guitar gives it a spanish style and atmosphere, giving a whole new dimension to the melancoly in the already gloomy song :) I love it!
Just amazing! I can listen to your playing with hours...you take your audience to a diferent world!

damn, your stuff is amazing.. so musicaly tight.. a lot of your videos are my favorite tom waits songs, which seem harder to find.. vocals?
Five minutes of gentle conptempl@ion...it's looking grim over there....wh@ are we to do? : |
Sorry, couple technical errors in that post. 1st think should be thing and it should be capitalized. You tube is one of the last big sites that doesn't automatically insert punctuation marks like apostraphes or capitalize the 1st letter of a new sentence.
tabs please)))
