  • Tom Waits' original was better.

  • My mom loves Stewart, and I love Tom Waits. She has always loved this version, but Jesus....I'm sorry, he just can't touch Tom.

  • Lol @ Rod Stewart

  • @catlover1001 Infinitely better. This version is worthless - a thorn without a rose.

  • Absolutely love Tom Waits, but not everyone is going to feel the same. I'm glad in this case that a great song can be enjoyed by millions of people who just don't like/get Tom. Dunno why people have to get so precious about which version is better. Whichever version you like the best is the best one, to you, which is all that matters surely?

  • This is an embarressment.

    Rod Stewart is a talentless poseur and a ponce, who has never written a decent song in his entire life. He shoudn't be allowed within a 1,000 miles of a Tom Waits song.

    My ears want to puke.

  • Rod Stewart is a twat.

    Always has been. Always will be.

  • very bad version when comparing to Waits

  • I don't think this is disgusting, but, I feel like Rod does not get the tone of longing/hopelessness/lonelines­s/etc. that Waits captures in both lyrics and vocal delivery. Tom's voice is not great, but he does pain very well. Rod is not making bad music, it is just at odds with the song as i know it.

  • @Czerniakowska

    I still don't care what you think..I don't criticize your music, don't criticize mine.

  • @Sanedmex1

    He's total crap, as is your taste in music.

  • @Czerniakowska

    If you have nothing good to say about someone, learn to keep your mouth shut. We don't care what you think, we still love this song and Rod!
