* CoveredUp: Happens to him all the time. "Downtown Train" from ''Music/RainDogs'' seems to be the most popular cover choice. Since Waits' own recordings have never made the charts, Music/RodStewart's cover of "Downtown Train" went to #3. Music/BruceSpringsteen's cover of "Jersey Girl" was only released as a B-side, but got lots of radio airplay and is more associated with him than with Waits.

It wound up getting a B-side, but got lots lot of radio airplay and was later re-released on Bruce's live box set. The song is more associated with him than it ever was to Waits--probably because of Bruce's deep identification with Waits.New Jersey, which the Californian Waits couldn't match (and the generous Tom wouldn't want to, as long as he got his writer's credit).
