I can't see it myself

I mean I've really tried and I just can't see it. Maybe it's because I saw Tom Waits live perhaps a dozen times back in the seventies. Maybe it's just because I'm sensible.

I just can't see this working! Scarlett Johansson doing Tom Waits. What songs is she going to choose? Here's a few for her to sample:
  • Diamonds on My Windshield
  • Frank's Wild Years
  • Heartattack and Vine
  • Ice Cream Man
  • Nighthawk Postcards
  • On a Foggy Night
  • Putnam County
  • Rain Dogs
  • Small Change (Got Rained on with his Own Thirty-Eight)
  • Spare Parts
  • The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)
  • Union Square
  • Whistlin' Past the Graveyard

Nope. Still can't see it. I mean does she even smoke? How could you cover Tom Waits without a fag? Maybe I'll be wrong. Dunno.
