Tom Waits was on the verge of a successful career as a lion tamer before it turned out that the lions were so terrified of Waits that after one session with him they would turn into a whimpering mess, thus rendering the whole act a tad pathetic. Henceforth Tom was forced to turn his menacing energy towards pianos, who are also at times seen whimpering after an especially hair raising performance.
