Shore Leave

This is kind of an odd one.  The song in my head this morning was inspired by a Vine post.  If you haven't had the chance to use the Vine app, I recommend it.  It's loads of fun. 

First, I'll show you the video.  A WARNING, this small clip could be offensive to some:




The strange music playing on this clip stuck with me.  I had to ask the Vine user "afbradstone" what song it is playing in this clip so I can share it on this blog post.  I was embarrassed to find out the song is called "Shore Leave." 

It's a song by Tom Waits from 1983.  It sounds very different than I had imagined after hearing 6 short seconds of it on Vine.  The song is about a sailor on leave in a foreign country.  What an odd way to learn a new song.  It's a funny world we live in.  Here is the song if you'd like to hear it.

This is the end of my odd little post.  Thanks to afbradstone for exposing me to not only this song, but some really funny Vine videos.
