The theme to <i>Rain Dogs</i> seems to be beautiful discordance. “Tango Till They’re Sore” has a skillfull sloppiness in the beginning, but it all works. Waits’s relationship with the beat is as loose as ever, but works brilliantly. Beautiful song.

Brilliant off-key piano intro. It's as if he's completely wasted when he recorded it... he probably was actually.
