[Tonyr00]

All of you idiots, please stop talkign about this one damn Tom Waits....fuck him. Rod is the best and forever....come one fellas admit it!!

[deviant41]

well, sorry folks, love tom waits' voice, but he CAN`T sing, rod can !

[yaueue]

rod is the greatest rock Singer of all times!

[richardmbowman]

@yaueue Perhaps. If not, he's mighty close!

[PINPRENELLEful]

there re things that should be saved to tthis world already sick...such as rod version of this great song by TOM WAITS .......

[TheVathek]

Tom Waits!!! 

[kowtpr187]

Can't hold a flame to Tom Waits!....A little too clean for me...I need this song bourbon soaked and soppin in the rain!.....

[deantiffin]

I allways liked this much more then Tom ,Bob and so on.

[hardyclare]

I seen Rod Stewart last year he was brilliant

[SufferinSuccotash89]

Nah nah nah. Tom Waits is where it's at.

[iammontecristo]

Seeing this video when I was 3 is one of my first memories EVER.

[MikeConservative]

Hey I just listened to Waites version. Some of you people must be on crack!! Rod Stewart is far better. Crackheads.

[fem420fan]

the biggest fan.............. attended 9 concerts including this one!!!!!!hes classic and timeless

[Tedminat0r]

Really. I'm not a Die Hard fan of waits, and im not a Stewart hater, but Tom do this, like 1000 times better. :)

[javierfunes1374]

ROD ESTA EN LA GALERIA DE LOS GRANDES DE LOS GENIALES AÑOS 80.....Y ESTE TEMA ES UNOM DE LOS MEJORES GRACIAS POR LA MUSICA....THANKS FOR THE MUSIC FROM ARGENTINA JAVIER FUNES...

[0724Ashley]

i love this song so much....they just don't make music like they use to....it use to be sooooo full of meanin and now songs are just words

[retrorocker44]

FANTASTIC

[CactiTrio]

I think Stewart's video is better, but, I like to listen to Waits sing it better. It's just that the Wait's video runs amok a few times and ruins it.

The "Brooklyn girl & boy" here are precision cast. They're both adorable.

The tracking camera in the subway shots is extraordinary. Just enough to make you want more.

[SlightlyUsedMusician]

I don't understand. It's not up for comparison. Tom Waits is an artist. Rod Stewart is a singer. It's like comparing the Beatles to the Monkees, or Rembrandt to the guy that painted my house. Rembrandt did it because he had to get it out of his soul. The guy that painted my house, chose the color and did it for the money, just like Rod Stewart. Now do you get it?

[JoeyNavinski]

Listening to Rod sing this I have to laugh and laugh and laugh. There's only one person who could cover a Waits song decently. Johnny Cash

[kapat45]

Oh no, 6 people got run over by a train and were so mentally damaged that they simply cannot comprehend Rod's genius. What a sad world we live in, ah well, it's a good thing I have this song to cheer me up!

[hardyclare]

He is one of the best singers I have seen that includes Bon Jovi and I am mad on them.

[hardyclare]

I love this song. I seen him last year I was sick when he didnt play this.

[saurabhghosal2799]

what a song ..love to listen to it again and again...first time i got the chance to hear this song was way back in my college days lovely memories

[saurabhghosal2799]

what a song ..love to listen to it again and again...first time i got the chance to hear this song was way back in my college days lovely memories

[TheBrinaleck]

the song of a stalker

[planetrockford]

French platts are very elegant, shame my girlfriend has a skinhead.

[sandlapper62]

Retro Song of the Day....Another great one from the 80s. "Downtown Train" is a song by Tom Waits released on his album Rain Dogs in 1985. Rod Stewart recorded a cover version that became a #3 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart after being released as a single in late 1989, and was also a number-one single on the album rock and adult contemporary charts. Stewart also received a Grammy nomination for the song in the category Best Male Pop Vocal performance.

[kowtpr187]

@sandlapper62 Waits is a way better artist in my opinion. I think Rod Stewart slaughtered this.

[rhaydon6784]

@kowtpr187 Then don't watch it....Rod is superior by far bud.

[kowtpr187]

@rhaydon6784  a superior Rod is what he is!

[lacetwig]

tom waits did it better!

[Compudoc]

Love the song and video...it has this...power to it...

[facciadipelle]

qualcuno mi può tradurre correttamente il testo della canzone in italiano? grazie mille!

[iammontecristo]

What can I do to go a Rod Stewart concert?

[kevinyuni]

@iammontecristo first come to L.A. second buy a ticket before they sell out.

[iammontecristo]

@kevinyuni Thanks for the heads up, but I am currently stationed in Europe (so L.A. is out).

[gary1961]

Typical Rod to have a gorgeous blond in his video. Great song.

[DBarns7]

Ah! Rod Stewart at his very best. What was a great touch to this song was the fade out at the end. A treat for the ears. Thanks for posting this.

[TheSuper3076]

one of the Rod Best!

[bwrpwr]

I think it's alright. When Tom Waits does it though the true brilliance shines through.

[rhaydon6784]

@bwrpwr Waits sings like crap though....am I missing something?

[bwrpwr]

@rhaydon6784 Yes you are.

[m0zc0re]

@rhaydon6784 Taste.

[rjs01007]

@rhaydon6784 Yes, you are missing something. Waits' voice is calculated; it suits the style and lyrical content of his music. If you can't digest that, then maybe Rod Stewart really is the artist for you. Hope you like mullets.

[chrycohauler]

Just heard Bob Seger's version and it can't hold a candle to this

[68blues]

T. Waits song..... i think Rod's just got it though....didn't want to say that.

[tracylooloo]

Had forgotten all about this one til I heard it on Smooth this afternoon! Fantastic!!

[josegdasilva]

This guys is amazing. A true music living LEGEND.

A unique voice and a great talent..............

[walkingoncinders]

Fantastic song, one of my favorites from Rod Stewart :)

[delrobb]

@2:38 is that staton island bend ......as in the movie UNSTOPPABLE ?

[sa65cn1]

You go Rod!!! He did a really good job with this Tom Waits song.

[ClubViking63]

Wooow one of my Rod Stewart favourites! Saw him play live up here in Viking Land on a chilly Spring night 2008. One of my best concert memories still. Rod you are still rocking!

[2979260]

Great sog i loved it in the 80s 90 , 2000 , 2011

[chrycohauler]

@2979260 because today we're too damn politically correct..

[kimhodd]

ive asked before but does anyone know who the girl is, looks a bit like a young anne archer

[bosszeroboss]

That Tom Waits can write a heck of a song.

[anitagtaylor]

This song brings back soooo MANY memories for me that I will NEVER 4-get!!! I just LOVE this song, & will ALWAYS LOVE Rod Stewart! Saw him on Ellen yesterday, & the memories of ALL of his songs just kept coming back! Thank you, Rod Stewart!!

[delwigzie]

happy new year 2011

[Novembereagle1]

Rod Stewart has ALOT of talent.He is one of many people that has a model railroad as a hobby.Read and see all about his layout in Model Railroader magazine, issues December 2007,and December 2010.There is plenty of talent in both aspects..his songs and his hobby.

[TheSusie1142]

I think Rod is the best!

[MrMartydhinton]

Great song Thanks For Posting It :)

[Skyhawkct]

I have to agree with Sunday.  Waits verson has sooooo much soul! Which goes to reason since he wrote the song.

[Vitoriakm]

I love him!!!!!! Tks for share this vid!

[deantiffin]

I happen to like this one the Best ! It must be me.

[ihavethepoweriswear]

rod stewart's leathery face loves ruining songs.

[sundaydsus]

Uhhggh. Rod Stewart is a stupid poof. Its all about Tom Waits. His version (the original) is so much more raw and real.

[cochranexyz]

@sundaydsus Just different, that's all. Troll elsewhere.  Tom got his nicely deserved royalties.

[Zorozangel]

One of my favourite songs by Rod............

[quiltbee]

Perfect.....oh i love this tune and the video too...great upload...thank you...

[Baskerville22]

My favourite Rod Stewart song...

[pattipie100]

Moms very fav by Rod, she wanted me to tell :) :) :+XXX

This is probably the best song Rod has done in a long while.

[starkie73]

[delwigzie]

[DramaDon83]

Very nice song..any brooklyn girls out there wanting to breakout and move to Florida?

[iammontecristo]

One of the first memories I have (and first memory of MTV/VH1 that I have) is seeing this video when I was in preschool. Rod Stewart, I thank you for that.

[thx291]

My favorite of his.

[LARABARAable]

Love this song. Rod Stewart does rule!

[LILLIANBAS74]

ROD STEWART SURELY RULES...I SIMPLY ADORE ROD STEWART...OUTSTANDING AND SO PASSIONATE!!!!

[yournextnightmare]

Doesn't even come close to Tom

[glissando23]

Rod blows giant elephant d!ck. Tom Waits rules.

[TalaJenta]

I know someone who told her husband she'd leave him for Rod Stewart...and she's serious!! Rod is rather sexy i have to admit ;)

[LeakyMustang]

Google ads RUIN Youtube!!!!!

[navegente]

2:36 part is great!

[lanternmarsh]

This song sucks! Anyone who thinks this sanitized crap is 'rock n' roll', doesn't know what real rock n' roll is! The original version by Tom Waits on the other hand, is a classic.

[chrycohauler]

@lanternmarsh yeah..classic crap

[chrycohauler]

@chrycohauler you don't know and don't know you don't know

[quiltbee]

awe...makes me wanna dance......totaly a great upload...love the song and video....thank you.......

[bekyea]

@quiltbee it makes me want to dance too naked in the front room window ,fucking love beans on toast x

[ghobson1530]

the heart of rock and roll,great lyrics,great music,heart and soul of the one and only rod stewart

[Italianprncessa9]

I WILL NEVER FORGET MY FATHER SINGING ALL HIS MUSIC WHEN I WAS LITTLE!! THATS ONE THING MY DAD HAS ALWAYS TAUGHT US... TO APPREICATE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF MUSIC!! MIM ONLY 25 BUT I KNOW EVERY WORD TO EVERY SONG!!! LOVE THE OLDIES!!!

[planetrockford]

Had a major crush on the woman on in this video. I think it was her hair that I liked the most.

[Moa57]

@planetrockford That makes two of us, I agree 110%.

[serchyissexy]

I can't find love in a downtown train, i only find hoodrats.

[jdietrich07]

Great song! Brings back memories of riding the NYC subway and seeing all of the pretty ladies.

[AB212HPB]

This song is my favorite song from Rod and it will always reminding me on a very special girl. One of a kind. I bet she is smilling now :) Way to go sugar :) I miss you..

[mixgrill888]

I love all of Rod Stewart's songs. For most of them I wasn't yet born but there is something about his voice and his performance. He is a true artist ! He is King

[ELLDEE321]

i miss 80's music

[radiodj1520]

I Love This Rod Stewart 1989 Music Video, "Downtown Train," Which Became The #1 Hit In America.

[teloiv1]

I love this song and the video. Rod's outstanding in this one.

[JMundyJr1]

Tom Waits version is better.

[kindredhearts]

@JMundyJr1 are u kidding? never heard such crap in my life. rod is the best!

[qw27]

@JMundyJr1 so much better. you can feel the song more when he sings it

[1956lakota]

GREAT STUFF..ROD STILL SOUNDS GREAT.

[deantiffin]

Cool love it. Thank you!

[joshuabrooks21]

One of my favorite Rod Stewart songs.

[basicsongs]

@joshuabrooks21 yes me too

[joshuabrooks21]

@basicsongs The way he pours his heart into this song is incredible. I was in a situation like this recently, only I felt this way when I looked at buses. The cool thing about this is the girl that made me think of buses, because she rode one because she didn't have a car, is talking to me again, and wanting to get back together with me. Isn't it funny how a 21 year old song can have a lasting effect on people?

[kowtpr187]

@joshuabrooks21 its older than that.. Tom Waits wrote this song.

[joshuabrooks21]

@kowtpr187 Yeah, but Rod Stewart made it famous.

[kowtpr187]

@joshuabrooks21 Rod Stewart is a "Rod" himself! haha

[joshuabrooks21]

@kowtpr187 I don't believe he's gay, but I've been known to be wrong.

[henry5h5]

Great record, terrific vocal performance by Hall of Famer Rod Stewart, one of the most distinctive, charismatic voices in pop music history. HENRY.

[LURCHMEISTER]

at 0.34 sounds like he forgot the words for a second lol

[Doxie79]

This cover is just bland, warmed-over, soulless tripe. Listen to Tom Waits original if yu want to hear a work of art. He murdered this song.

[cochranexyz]

Damn fine cover!

[qdog568]

Who is that woman? Gorgeous!!

[kimhodd]

@qdog568 wish I knew, I've aked before never get a reply

[orangina6400]

To add to my tribute to the Brooklyn girls: Rod Stewart and this video explains what it is like to be a man in love with a Brooklyn girl.

[jurogalay2]

CANCIONZAZA.EXCELENTE.

[thebleedingjeans]

Waits appears in this video at 0:47.

[qdog568]

@thebleedingjeans He's not black.

[Wehategod]

Note Rod Stewart is in Hoboken Station in NJ

[2Touchstone]

Why does he have such a silly hairstyle?

[FlorryMc]

@2Touchstone

In the late 80s early 90s this was not considered a silly hair style. Great cover he really made it his own. The band are great and the voice......... well nothing can be said

[garbidz]

@2Touchstone

Because he is Rod Stewart. He started it all.

[LisaM7204]

I Love Rod Stewart =] =] x

[Moa57]

Great song, awesome video, love the chick in the video.....she's as cute as it gets...

[vstar1976]

@Moa57 It was a model her name is April Bennett.. she is now a photographer in Scottsdale, AZ

[quiltbee]

totally lovely and divine......one of my top favers by rod...this is a really pretty tune love very much..im a big fan of rod...have been since 1970 since maggie may.....maggie may is what got me interested in rod...thank you much for this great upload.....
