Tom Waits - Underground

From album "Swordfishtrombones" 1983

[robloxboy]

“Goodbye son, good luck with your dastardly plans!”

[SlenderVA]

I never imagined this being its own song. I always thought it was made for robots. But its still a banger

[Reaper-qotn]

Robots introduced me to this. A friend showed me the actual song.

[wenderhastenreiter]

This song scared the shit out of me when I was a kid

[PurpleLover]

I've never taken the time to actually find out more about this song after hearing it in robots. And now I know, it's a bop.

[master_bdoof]

I found this by watching the movie Robots (2005) with Ewan MacGregor and Robin Williams

[Telvak]

I knew of this song for years and it surprised and amazed me to hear it playing on the Robots movie!!

[freddy]

Rattle big black bones in the Danger zone
There's a rumblin' groan down below
There's a big dark town, it's a place I've found
There's a world going on underground

They're alive, they're awake
While the rest of the world is asleep
Below the mine shaft roads, it will all unfold
There's a world going on underground

All the roots hang down, swing from town to town
They are marching around down under your boots
All the trucks unload beyond the gopher holes
There's a world going on underground

[kevincarson]

This sounds like it could be in a Tim Burton

[pedroa.cantero]

Pièce maitresse dan l'oeuvre de Waits, "Swordfishtrombones" es une leçon absolue

[officialsquadrilogystudio]

Okay break time...
Huh?
Okay now break time's over! chop chop!!

[bambi_alonelyfoe]

Ok but like it's been years since I've last heard this song

[TMcCoy-ktqk]

There's a big dark town it's a place I've found / all the roots hang down
swing from town to town / there's a world going on underground... 11A

[meganecucinotta]

"Break time's over! Chop-chop!"

[nuts]

I've Always wanted to know wanted to know if the song was for robots or an actual song but it's good

[fluffywolfo]

You can really hear the Captain Beefheart in this.

[charliebuckets]

i want to hit the like but i dont want to ruin it its at 666

[lordofchaos]

Anyone here because of the movie Robots?

[chiaram]

Why does it slightly feel like thats a miners working song bc of the tact. Idk the term of that word in English.

[sammorgan]

Huh...the robots version is so much more....intense? Idk how to explain it, both are good but I'd love to see a full version in the robots way...
