Nov 23, 2008 - I grew up with a strong fascination for the city life, and always wished I had grown up in NYC, to sneak out of the house late a night and see/experience all the excitement of being underage in the city. This song always brings back that exciting feeling, and makes me wish I was young again. Nothing like being in your early teens and discovering life. Wish I had done that. Hehehe.

Nov 30, 2008 - This has to be one of the worst cover versions in the history of popular music

Nov 30, 2008 - Rod´s version is so much better than Tom´s... I never knew that this was a cover version. Thank you Rod.

Dec 1, 2008 - Ya' know what? Sometimes we have to admit that there are songs that are better versions than the originals. This should be one of them. I have high respects to Tom Waits. He sure is one of the best songwriter of our times. And the best compliment a person receive is to know that somebody somewhere is trying hard to transform his work into something more special.

Dec 1, 2008 - this is anodyne, boring, awful. Mr. Waits is a brilliant musician, and Rod Stewart is just brutal.
Scanlanian Says:
Dec 2, 2008 - There's is nothing more special about this version. Its too clean. Waits style comes from the grit and dirt of human life and longing. Rod Stewart doesn't have the pain and suffering to truly preform this song. The instrumentation is cheese.

Dec 2, 2008 - really?
movingtarget1978 Says:
Dec 3, 2008 - Are you fucking kidding me? I'm not accustomed to abusing people on the internet as I think it's a bit cowardly, but you're really pushing me here dude. Do some homework. Tom Waits is arguably the most prolific songwriter of the past 35 years and he puts every ounce of his unrivaled creativity into every recording. Rod Stewart is a fucking hack who hasn't recorded a decent song since Maggie May. In my totalitarian anti-Philistine Utopia, Stewart would be hung, drawn and quartered for this.

Dec 3, 2008 - Such a good song.
movingtarget1978 Says:
Dec 4, 2008 - Dude. There's no good trying to reason with Rod Stewart fans. I've already tried. They're too far gone. Beyond redemption. The Damned. Nos Feratu. Nothing can save them now. Lord have mercy on their souls.

Dec 4, 2008 - I love this song. I remember listening to it on the radio in the 80s.
oneill41 Says:
