Choosing a favorite Tom Waits song is like choosing a favorite child. I've always been fond of "Old '55" for nostalgic reasons. I like "Cold Water" because I never tire of singing along to it. I like "Hold On" because it has a killer line. The list really does go on...Jersey Girl, Georgia Lee, I Don't Wanna Grow Up....there's very little of his material that I DON'T like.
Oooh, he also made a semi-cameo in Shrek 2--he was the Captain Hook-type piano player at the bar (and sang "A Little Drop of Poison"), he was the guy that answered the door (Buck?) in The Outsiders, a mental patient in Dracula....he's been in a lot of stuff.
