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.

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.

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

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.

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

This has to be one of the worst cover versions in the history of popular music

Isn't it true that he had his stomach pumped, and there was man-juice in it?

Burn in hell, Rod
