Nov 21, 2008 - A beautiful song! Too bad Rod isn't the best looking guy out. But he is brilliant in this song.

Nov 21, 2008 - This is my first time hearing this version and it is surprisingly better than I had expected. I love Tom Waits. He is one of my favorite songwriters of all time, and I thought this was going to be a huge letdown. I could not be more surprised. I guess it is Rod Stewart . . .

Agtronic Says:

Nov 22, 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 24, 2008 - Ha, I'm a Brookyln girl and I am on a downtown train at least once a day. Cute song.

alexpacker88 Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - Isn't it true that he had his stomach pumped, and there was man-juice in it? Burn in hell, Rod

sammysbabyboy Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - fuck u alex

movingtarget1978 Says:

Nov 29, 2008 - This has to be one of the worst cover versions in the history of popular music

1heavycheavy Says:

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.

anduthinkurright Says:

Nov 30, 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.

Oilcanshottupac Says:

Dec 1, 2008 - this is anodyne, boring, awful. Mr. Waits is a brilliant musician, and Rod Stewart is just brutal.
