LYRICS:
Long way going to get my medicine
Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren
Piano from a window played
Gone tomorrow, gone yesterday
I found it in the street, at first I did not see
Lying at my feet a trampled rose
Passing the hat in church
It never stops going around
You never pay just once
To get the job done
What I've done to you, I know you've done to me
So what happened to the trampled rose?
In the muddy streets
With the fireworks and the leaves
A blind man with a cup I asked
Would you play "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine"
I know that rose just like I know my name
The one I gave my love, I swear it was the same
Now I find it in the street a trampled rose

Tom Waits - Watch Her Disappear
LYRICS:
Last night I dreamed that I was dreaming of you
And from a window across the lawn I watched you undress
Wearing your sunset of purple tightly woven around your hair
That rose in strangled ebony curls
Moving in a yellow bedroom light
The air is wet with sound
The faraway yelping of a wounded dog
And the ground is drinking a slow faucet leak
Your house is so soft and fading as it soaks the black summer heat
A light goes on and the door opens
And a yellow cat runs out on the stream of hall light and into the yard
A wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air
I hear your champagne laugh
You wear two lavender orchids
One in your hair and one on your hip
A string of yellow carnival lights comes on with the dusk
Circling the lake with a slowly dipping halo
And I hear a banjo tango
And you dance into the shadow of a black poplar tree
And I watched you as you disappeared
I watched you as you disappeared

Barcarolle - by Tom Waits - performed by Brendan
A cloud lets go of the moon
Her ribbons are all out of tune
She is skating on the ice
In a glass in the hands of a man
That she kissed on a train
And the children are all gone into town
To get candy and we are alone in the house here
And your eyes fall down on me
And I belong only to you
The water is filling my shoes
In the wine of my heart there's a stone
In a well made of bone
That you bring to the pond
And I'm here in your pocket
Curled up in a dollar
And the chain from your watch around my neck
And I'll stay right here until it's time
The girls all knit in the shade
Before the baby is made
And the branches bend down
To the ground here to swing on
I'm lost in the blond summer grass
And the train whistle blows
And the carnival goes
Till there's only the tickets and crows here
And the grass will all grow back
And the branches spell 'Alice'
And I belong only to you

TOM WAITS 'Lowside Of The Road'
I’m on a black elevator
Goin down
Little joe from kokomo
It rattles to the ground
The dice is laughin at the
Man that he throwed
Your rollin over to the
Lowside of the road.
The moon is red and your
Dancin real slow
29 miles left to go
The chain momkeys
Help you with your load
You’re rollin over to the
Lowside of the road
Jezebel is naked
With an axe
The prosecution tell you
To relax
Your head feels like it’s ready
To explode
You’re rollin over, you’re rollin over
Well the clapper has been ripped
Out of the bell
The flapper has been kicked right
Out of hell
When the horse whips the
Man that he rode
You’re rollin over to the lowside of the road
The dog won’t bite if you beat
Him with a bone
She’s so shy when she’s
Talkin on the phone
The round rises up and starts to groan
You’re rollin over to the
Lowside of the road

Tom Waits - Hold On -muy buena-
They hung a sign up in out town
’if you live it up, you won’t
Live it down’
So, she left monte rio, son
Just like a bullet leaves a gun
With charcoal eyes and monroe hips
She went and took that california trip
Well, the moon was gold, her
Hair like wind
She said don’t look back just
Come on jim
(chorus)
Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I’m standing right here
You gotta hold on
Well, he gave her a dimestore watch
And a ring made from a spoon
Everyone is looking for someone to blame
But you share my bed, you share my name
Well, go ahead and call the cops
You don’t meet nice girls in coffee shops
She said baby, I still love you
Sometimes there’s nothin left to do
Oh you got to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I’m standing right here, you got to
Just hold on.
Well, God bless your crooked little heart st. louis got the best of me
I miss your broken-china voice
How I wish you were still here with me
Well, you build it up, you wreck it down
You burn your mansion to the ground
When there’s nothing left to keep you here, when
You’re falling behind in this
Big blue world
Oh you go to
Hold on, hold on
You got to hold on
Take my hand, I’m standing right here
You got to hold on
Down by the riverside motel,
It’s 10 below and falling
By a 99 cent store she closed her eyes
And started swaying
But it’s so hard to dance that way
When it’s cold and there’s no music
Well your old hometown is so far away
But, inside your head there’s a record
That’s playing, a song called
Hold on, hold on
You really got to hold on
Take my hand, I’m standing right here
And just hold on.
Tom Waits-House Where Nobody Lives
There’s a house on my block
That’s abandoned and cold
Folks moved out of it a
Long time ago
And they took all their things
And they never came back
Looks like it’s haunted
With the windows all cracked
And everyone call it
The house, the house where
Nobody lives
Once it held laughter
Once it held dreams
Did they throw it away
Did they know what it means
Did someone’s heart break
Or did someone do somebody wrong?
Well the paint was all cracked
It was peeled off of the wood
Papers were stacked on the porch
Where I stood
And the weeds had grown up
Just as high as the door
There were birds in the chimney
And an old chest of drawers
Looks like no one will ever
Come back to the
House were nobody lives
Once it held laughter
Once it held dreams
Did they throw it away
Did they know what it means
Did someone’s heart break
Or did someone do someone wrong?
So if you find someone
Someone to have, someone to hold
Don’t trade it for silver
Don’t trade it for gold
I have all of life’s treasures
And they are fine and they are good
They remind me that houses
Are just made of wood
What makes a house grand
Ain’t the roof or the doors
If there’s love in a house
It’s a palace for sure
Without love...
It ain’t nothin but a house
A house where nobody lives
Without love it ain’t nothin
But a house, a house where
Nobody lives.
Tom Waits -Cold water -tributo-
Well I woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold water
Woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold
Police at the station
And they don’t look friendly
Well they don’t look friendly
Well they don’t look friendly
Police at the station
And they don’t look friendly
They don’t look friendly well
They don’t
Blind or crippled
Sharp or dull
I’m reading the bible
By a 40 watt bulb
What price freedom
Dirt is my rug
Well I sleep like a baby
With the snakes and the bugs
Well the stores are open
But I ain’t got no money
I ain’t got no money
Stores are open but i
Ain’t got no money
Ain’t got no money
Well I ain’t
Found an old dog
And he seems to like me
Seems to like me
Well he seems to like me
Found an old dog and he
Seems to like me
Seems to like me
Well he seems
Seen them fellows
With the card board signs
Scrapin up a little $
To buy a bottle of wine
Pregnant women and
The vietnam vets I say
Beggin on the freeway
Bout as hard as it gets
Well I slept in the graveyard
It was cool and still
Cool and still
It was cool and still
Slept in the graveyard
It was cool and still
Cool and still and it
Was cool
Slept all night in the cedar grove
I was born to ramble
Born to rove
Some men are searchin for the
Holy grail
But there ain’t nothin sweeter
Than ridin the rails
I love 47 but I’m 24
Well they shooed me away
From here the time before
Turned there their backs
And they locked their doors
I’m watching t.v. in
The window of a furniture store
Well I woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold water
Woke up this morning
With the cold water
With the cold water
With the cold

Tom Waits What's He Building In There
Tom Waits' What's He Building In There
Storyboards by Andrew "Druie" Chan
What’s he building in there?
What the hell is he building
In there?
He has subscriptions to those
Magazines... he never
Waves when he goes by
He’s hiding something from
The rest of us... he’s all
To himself... I think I know
Why... he took down the
Tire swing from the peppertree
He has no children of his
Own you see... he has no dog
And he has no friends and
His lawn is dying... and
What about all those packages
He sends. what’s he building in there?
With that hook light
On the stairs. what’s he building
In there... I’ll tell you one thing
He’s not building a playhouse for
The children what’s he building
In there?
Now what’s that sound from under the door?
He’s pounding nails into a
Hardwood floor... and i
Swear to God I heard someone
Moaning low... and I keep
Seeing the blue light of a
T.v. show...
He has a router
And a table saw... and you
Won’t believe what mr. sticha saw
There’s poison underneath the sink
Of course... but there’s also
Enough formaldehyde to choke
A horse... what’s he building
In there. what the hell is he
Building in there? I heard he
Has an ex-wife in some place
Called mayors income, tennessee
And he used to have a
Consulting business in indonesia...
But what is he building in there?
What the hell is building in there?
He has no friends
But he gets a lot of mail
I’ll bet he spent a little
Time in jail...
I heard he was up on the
Roof last night
Signaling with a flashlight
And what’s that tune he’s
Always whistling...
What’s he building in there?
What’s he building in there?
We have a right to know...

Tom Waits - Eyeball Kid
Well zenora bariella
And coriander pyle
They had sixteen children
In the usual style
They had a curio museum
And they had no guile
All they ever wanted
Was a show biz child
So on the 7th of dec. 1949
They got what
They’d been wishing for
All of the time
He grew up in a trailer
By the time he was 9
He rolled off to join
The circus... telling fortunes
On the side
Hail hail, the eyeball kid
Well the first time I saw him
Was a saigon jail
Cost me 27 dollars
Just to go his bail
I said your name will
Be in lights...
And that’s no doubt
But you got to have
A manager that’s what
It’s all about
People would point
People would stare
I’ll always be here
To protect you and to
Cut down on the glare
I know you can’t speak
I know you can’t sign
So cry right here on
The dotted line
Hail hail, the eyeball kid
Well he was born with out a body
Not even a brow
I made the kid a promise
I made the kid a vow
He’s not conventionally handsome
He’ll never be tall
He said ’all you got to do is
Book me into carnegie hall’
Hail hail, the eyeball kid
He’s just a little bitty thing
He’s just a little guy
But women go crazy
For the big blue eye
They say how does he
Dream? how does he think
When he can’t ever speak
And he can’t ever blink?
I said hail hail, the eyeball kid
Hail hail, the eyeball kid
Give it up and throw me down
A couple of quic
Everybody wants to see
The eyeball kid
How dies he dream
How does he think
When he can’t even speak
And he can’t even blink
We are all lost in the
Wilderness we’re as
Blind as can be
He came down to teach us
How to really see
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
So give it up and throw
Me down a couple of quid
Everybody wants to see
The eyeball kid
Eyeball kid
Eyeball kid
Tom Waits - Take it with me
Phone’s off the hook
No one knows where we are
It’s a long time since i
Drank champagne
The ocean is blue
As blue as your eyes
I’m gonna take it with me
When I go
Old long since gone
Now way back when
We lived in coney island
Ain’t no good thing
Ever dies
I’m gonna take it with me
When I go
Far far away a train
Whistle blows
Wherever you’re goin
Wherever you’ve been
Waving good bye at the end
Of the day
You’re up and you’re over
And you’re far away
Always for you, and
Forever yours
It felt just like the old days
We fell asleep on beaula’s porch
I’m gonna take it with me
When I go
All broken down by
The side of the road
I was never more alive or
Alone
I’ve worn the faces off
All the cards
I’m gonna take it with me
When I go
Children are playing
At the end of the day
Strangers are singing
On our lawn
It’s got to be more
Than flesh and bone
All that you’re loved
Is all you own
In a land there’s a town
And in that town there’s
A house
And in that house
There’s a woman
And in that woman
There’s a hart I love
I’m gonna take it
With me when I go
I’m gonna take it
With me when I go

Tom Waits vino por el Bafici.Y AHORA VIENE POR SEGUNDA VEZ
El mítico cantautor estadounidense Tom Waits visitará por primera vez
la Argentina hoy a las 18, en el teatro Alvear, para ofrecer una charla gratuita sobre música y cine en el marco de la novena edición del Festival de Cine Independiente (Bafici).
A los 58 años, el artista nacido en Pomona, California, pisará suelo argentino en un hecho impensado para muchos de sus fieles seguidores que lo erigieron como un artista de culto capaz de trascender las fronteras y de ser inmune al tiempo.
Aunque en principio no está prevista una actuación, se especula con que ofrezca un mini recital, ya que para la ocasión Waits solicitó un piano en el escenario y un equipo de sonido.
Tal vez su voz áspera, profunda y versátil, y su espírtu meláncolico, inquieto y bohemio, que delatan sus canciones, sean culpables de una prolífica carrera signada por una libertad artística que lo hizo pasar por el blues, la balada, el rock, el jazz, el folk y la experimentación.
Historias de vagabundos, prostitutas, suicidas, bares y soledad,abundan en su temas -la mayoría compuestos desde su piano- e interpretadas por una voz única a la que recurre como instrumento principal.
Desde su primer álbum "Closing time", editado en 1973, las búsqueda de la belleza a través de las melodías y la disonancia se retroalimentan y conviven en un extraño vínculo que cultivó desde la sensibilidad y el talento.
Waits, uno de los creadores más respetados e influyentes de los últimos tiempos, posee una mirada desprejuiciada de la música. Se animó a combinaciones poco convencionales en el universo del rock, como la de mezclar guitarras distorsionadas con sonidos de culturas diversas con instrumentos como la mandolina y el acordeón.
Hijo de un acohólico que era profesor de español, abandonó la secundaria a los 15 años y tuvo una docena de trabajos: cocinó en
una pizzería, lavó vajillas y fue portero de un club nocturno.
Su vida y su música dieron un vuelco abrupto cuando en 1980 se casó con Kathleen Brennan, una editora de guiones que conoció cuando trabajaba en la banda de sonido de "Golpe al corazón", para Francis Ford Coppola, quien alguna vez lo definió como "El príncipe de la melancolía".
Ella se convirtió en su compañera musical, lo rescató del alcoholismo y la vida nómada para convertirse en un hombre de familia. Abandonó a su manager, Herb Cohen, y a su compañía, Asylum, para firmar con Island y grabar "Swordfishtrombones" (1983), el primer disco con producción propia.
Esta etapa más oscura y vanguardista resultó paradójicamente más exitosa a nivel comercial. "Bon Machine" (1992) -uno de sus mejores trabajos-, "Mule Variations (1999), "Blood money" y "Alice" (2002) y el monumental disco triple "Orphans" (que lanzó a fines del año pasado), fueron algunos de esos trabajos.
En el camino, fue actor fetiche de directores como Coppola ("Los marginales"), Jarmusch ("Bajo el peso de la ley") y Robert Altman ("Ciudad de ángeles"), y colaboró en producciones teatrales con el director avant-garde Robert Wilson.
En el cine, sus composiciones integran la banda de sonido de decenas de películas como la reciente "El tigre y la nieve", de Roberto Beningni.
Moderada por los periodistas Martín Pérez y Mariana Enríquez, la charla que el creador ofrecerá en el país como invitado especial del Bafici, se realizará en inglés y contará con traducción en simultáneo a través de auriculares (que se deberán retirar media hora antes en el teatro con DNI).
Las entradas se deben pasar a buscar en el Alvear (Corrientes 1659) desde las 10 de la mañana del sábado y se entregarán a razón de una por persona.

Tom Waits -Singapore
We sail tonight for singapore,
We’re all as mad as hatters here
I’ve fallen for a tawny moor,
Took off to the land of nod
Drank with all the chinamen,
Walked the sewers of paris
I danced along a colored wind,
Dangled from a rope of sand
You must say goodbye to me
We sail tonight for singapore,
Don’t fall asleep while you’re ashore
Cross your heart and hope to die
When you hear the children cry
Let marrow bone and cleaver choose
While making feet for children shoes
Through the alley, back from hell,
When you hear that steeple bell
You must say goodbye to me
Wipe him down with gasoline
’til his arms are hard and mean
From now on boys this iron boat’s your home
So heave away, boys
We sail tonight for singapore,
Take your blankets from the floor
Wash your mouth out by the door,
The whole town’s made of iron ore
Every witness turns to steam,
They all become italian dreams
Fill your pockets up with earth,
Get yourself a dollar’s worth
Away boys, away boys, heave away
The captain is a one-armed dwarf,
He’s throwing dice along the wharf
In the land of the blind
The one-eyed man is king, so take this ring
We sail tonight for singapore,
We’re all as mad as hatters here
I’ve fallen for a tawny moor,
Took off to the land of nod
Drank with all the chinamen,
Walked the sewers of paris
I drank along a colored wind,
I dangled from a rope of sand
You must say goodbye to me

Clap Hands of Tom Waits
Sane, sane, they’re all insane,
Fireman’s blind, the conductor is lame
A cincinnati jacket and a sad-luck dame
Hanging out the window with a bottle full of rain
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Said roar, roar, the thunder and the roar
Son of a bitch is never coming back here no more
The moon in the window and a bird on the pole
We can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Said steam, steam, a hundred bad dreams
Going up to harlem with a pistol in his jeans
A fifty-dollar bill inside a palladin’s hat
And nobody’s sure where mr. knickerbocker’s at
Roar, roar, the thunder and the roar
Son of a bitch is never coming back here no more
Moon in the window and a bird on the pole
Can always find a millionaire to shovel all the coal
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
I said steam, steam, a hundred bad dreams
Going up to harlem with a pistol in his jeans
A fifty-dollar bill inside a palladin’s hat
And nobody’s sure where mr. knickerbocker’s at
Shine, shine, a roosevelt dime
All the way to baltimore and running out of time
Salvation army seemed to wind up in the hole
They all went to heaven in a little row boat
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Clap hands, clap hands, clap hands, clap hands
Tom Waits - Cemetery Polka
Uncle vernon, uncle vernon, independent as a hog on ice
He’s a big shot down there at the slaughterhouse
Plays accordion for mr. weiss
Uncle biltmore and uncle william
Made a million during world war two
But they’re tightwads and they’re cheapskates
And they’ll never give a dime to you
Auntie mame has gone insane
She lives in the doorway of an old hotel
And the radio is playing opera
All she ever says is go to hell
Uncle violet flew as a pilot
And there ain’t no pretty girls in france
Now he runs a tiny little bookie joint
They say he never keeps it in his pants
Uncle bill will never leave a will
And the tumor is as big as an egg
He has a mistress, she’s puerto rican
And I heard she has a wooden leg
Uncle phil can’t live without his pills
He has emphysema and he’s almost blind
And we must find out where the money is
Get it now before he loses his mind
Uncle vernon, uncle vernon, independent as a hog on ice
He’s a big shot down there at the slaughterhouse
He plays accordion for mr. weiss

Tom Waits Big Black Mariah
Well cutting through the cane break, rattling the sill
Thunder that the rain makes when the shadow tops the hill
Big light on the back street, hill to ever more
Packing down the ladder with the hammer to the floor
Here come the big black mariah, here come the big black mariah
Here come the big black mariah, I seen the big black ford
Well he’s all boxed up on a red belle dame
Hunted black johnny with a blind man’s cane
A yellow bullet with a rag out in the wind
An old blind tiger, got an old bell jim
Here come the big black mariah, here come the big black mariah
Here come the big black mariah, here come the big black ford
Sent to the skies on a benny jag blue
Off to bed without his supper like a linda brides do
He got to do the story with the old widow jones
Got a wooden coat, this boy is never coming home
Here come the big black mariah, here come the big black mariah
Here come the big black mariah, I seen that big black ford
Cut through the canebrake, oh yeah
Well he’s all boxed up on a red belle dame
Flat blue johnny with a blind man’s cane
A hundred yellow bullets shook a rag out in the wind
An old blind tiger, on a bell you win
Here come the big black mariah, here come the big black mariah
Here come the big black mariah, here come the big black ford
Tom Waits - Hang down your head
Hush a wild violet, hush a band of gold
Hush you’re in a story I heard somebody told
Tear the promise from my heart, tear my heart today
You have found another, oh baby I must go away
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head tomorrow, hang down your head marie
Hush my love the rain now, hush my love was so true
Hush my love a train now well it takes me away from you
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head marie
So hang down your head for sorrow, hang down your head for me
Hang down your head, hang down your head, hang down your head marie

Tom Waits-Time
Well the smart money's on Harlow and the moon is in the street
And the shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And you're east of East Saint Louis and the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
And Napoleon is weeping in a carnival saloon
His invisible fiancee's in the mirror
And the band is going home, it's raining hammers, it's raining nails
And it's true there's nothing left for him down here
And it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
And they all pretend they're orphans and their memory's like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can't remember tell the things you can't forget
That history puts a saint in every dream
Well she said she'd stick around until the bandages came off
[ Letras de Canciones encontraron en es.mp3lyrics.org/QpxF ]
But these mama's boys just don't know when to quit
And Mathilda asks the sailors "Are those
dreams or are those prayers?"
So close your eyes, son, and this won't hurt a bit
Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
Well things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars and splash into the street
And when they're on a roll she pulls a razor from her boot
And a thousand pigeons fall around her feet
So put a candle in the window and a kiss upon his lips
As the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
And pay the fiddler off 'til I come back again
Oh it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
And it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Inside a broken clock, splashing the wine with all the rain dogs
Taxi, we’d rather walk, huddle a doorway with the rain dogs
For I am a rain dog, too
Oh, how we danced and we swallowed the night
For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We’ve always been out of our minds
The rum pours strong and thin, beat out the dustman with the rain dogs
Aboard a shipwreck train, give my umbrella to the rain dogs
For I am a rain dog, too
Oh, how we danced with the rose of tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You’ll never be going back home
Oh, how we danced with the rose of tralee
Her long hair black as a raven
Oh, how we danced and you whispered to me
You’ll never be going back home

Blind Love
Now you’re gone, and it’s hotels and whiskey and sad-luck dames
And I don’t care if they miss me, I never remember their names
They say if you get far enough away, you’ll be on your way back home
Well, I’m at the station, and I can’t get on the train
Must be blind love, only kind of love is stone blind love
Blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
With your blind love, oh it’s blind love, stone blind love
It’s your stone blind love
Now the street’s turning blue, the dogs are barking and the night has come
And there’s tears that are falling from your blue eyes now
I wonder where you are and I whisper your name
The only way to find you is if I close my eyes
I’ll find you with my blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
The only kind of love is stone blind love
The only kind of love is stone blind love
With your blind love, oh your blind love, your stone blind love
It’s your blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
Stone blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
With your blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
Stone blind love, stone blind love
And I don’t care if they miss me, I never remember their names
They say if you get far enough away, you’ll be on your way back home
Well, I’m at the station, and I can’t get on the train
Must be blind love, only kind of love is stone blind love
Blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
With your blind love, oh it’s blind love, stone blind love
It’s your stone blind love
Now the street’s turning blue, the dogs are barking and the night has come
And there’s tears that are falling from your blue eyes now
I wonder where you are and I whisper your name
The only way to find you is if I close my eyes
I’ll find you with my blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
The only kind of love is stone blind love
The only kind of love is stone blind love
With your blind love, oh your blind love, your stone blind love
It’s your blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
Stone blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
With your blind love, the only kind of love is stone blind love
Stone blind love, stone blind love

Tom Waits For No One - Animated 1979 ... John Lamb
Tom Waits and Donna Gordon as the stripper,
Performed for us live (at the La Brea stage in Hollywood, 1978), and rotoscoped - a process that traces back the live action
frame by frame and turns it into animation. The original live
action was shot with 5 cameras - 2 high, 2 low and one hand
held. The music from "The One That Got Away" blared in the
background as Tom sang karaoke style different lyrics on each
take. Two strippers, Donna Gordon was the choice, 6 takes and 13 hours of video footage were edited to make a 5 1/2 minute live action short which we turned into animation. A total of 5,500 frames were caricatured and then re-drawn, inked by Mike Cressy and painted by hand onto celluloid acitate to produce this film.
Produced by Lyon Lamb, directed by John Lamb, the film bore some cool new technology, talent ( David Silverman, producer and director of the Simpsons TV series, and director of the NEW Simpsons movie to be released in July of 2007, was our head animator and also his FIRST job as an animator) and was created specifically for a video music market that didn't yet exist . But
the buzz was out and we went on to create what arguably may be the first music video created for the new and upcoming MTV market.
A series of unfortunate events prohibited the film from ever
being released or sold commercially, consequently catapulting it into obscurity... until now,thanks You Tube!
In 1979, an Academy Award was presented to Lyon Lamb for the
technology used in this short.
The production materials (character sketches, layouts,
storyboards, animation drawings and cels) are still amazingly intact and held in private hands. However, a few of the production elements managed to slip away over the last 28 years and occasionally, one of these rare gems can be found on ebay.
