Tom Waits - For No One

This was made in 1979, before MTV, so it has never been seen before it was put on YouTube. The animation was done with rotoscope. Donna Gordon is Waits' dance partner in this film. The animation was done by David Silverman (of The Simpsons fame) and direction was by John Lamb. You can read the whole history of this video at YouTube.

For me, this is classic Waits -- some smokin' blues.
