"Clap Hands" by Tom Waits

I have had a long-standing love of Tom Waits, ever since my uncle (a mighty connoisseur of all things alternative) introduced me to his music when I was twelve.  This is a particularly excellent song quite unlike anything I've heard before.  Waits' voice takes me to some grungy form of New York City, where everything has gone corrupt and people do what they can to get by.  I simply adore it.
