The dictionary definition of "gay" is lighthearted and carefree, which is what he means In the song. Now it is commonly used in defining homosexual men (sometimes women). I searched this song out from watching Innerspace, as it was featured in Jack's drunk moment, and at the end of the movie.
I wanted to get a copy of this version in mp3 for my iPhone - can only find the older versions :( This one has so much more energy! The soundtrack cost is WAY out there (over $50Cnd) ... guess I'll have to keep my enjoyment to UA-cam & Sam Cooke!
@blueballsredhair I think was the version used at the end of the movie Inner Space with Martin Short (which you can obviously see in this video). While I agree re the music track, I reckon Rods vocal on this is a little better than his first attempt.
I hate to sound blasphemous,but I actually Like Rod's version better than Sam Cooke's. Not to take anything away from Sam(his version is great),but Rod's cover just has a "fun" air to it that sticks in your head. That,and the girl at 40 seconds is just too adorable ! ;) lol
@happymeal159 - I guess the answer as to "Why the second cover" lies with copyright and recording issues plus the need to produce a 'poppy' video to keep the record label happy....PS Ron Wood's guitar work on Faces and early Rod albums is amazing - no wonder Micky Jagger dangled a Rolling Stone medal in his face.

@blueballsredhair I saw Rod last night in Philly so I looked this up. I love this song. I couldn't agree with you more.. Who the hell is backing him on this song? Partridge Family!!! This is a washed out pop version. Ronnie Wood smokes on the orginal version. This verison sucks. But still love ya Rod...Great show last night.
open a new window,copy the link from the you tube video, on the new window type in youtube to mp3 and find a program that does that,paste the link on the program download the song, it should go to your windows media player, burn it to a cd and your done, i know pain in the butt but if you want it bad enough youll do it, i do it all the time, theres a lot of awesome songs on youtube that are certain versions of the originals that you will never find on a cd
13 people prefer the original by Sam Cooke. I can't say if I prefer one over the other. Personally, I'm not a big fan of remakes, it causes people to forget who the original singer was. However, as long as they don't completely butcher the original, I say let the music play on.
Not to offend anyone here but,this version is weak compared to the one off "Never a Dull Moment".That version had Ron Wood and The Faces and they just tore it up.This video lacks that same spirit.
Even if Rod will never be Sam, and no one, I mean NO ONE in the world will ever beat Sam, Rod's voice is not bad, and has his charm, a different charm, but I must say that the instrumentation of this version really sucks!! It's too bad that the instrumentation ruins the song that could be cool with a better instrumentation...
Great movie Innerspace! Hilarious line where Martin says "Help me doctor I'm possessed"! LOL! What a fun song! Rod and Martin must have had fun doing the video together. Wonder why they didn't get Dan and Meg in it too?
There was a guy who worked at a clothing store at the Bristol Mall in Bristol Va. in the 80's. This dude looked like Rods twin brother. Same hair cut and all. We called him Rod Stewart.
"That was the cowboy!!!" JACK PUTTER TO THE RESCUE!!!!!"
Just got done watching "Innerspace" I like the scene where they dance to this song!
"JACK PUTTER TO THE RESCUE!"
Thanks Rod, for remember me my early years in the 80's. Your voice is the british pop!

Rod was in his early forties at this point.

totally love rod!
Just a great song and Rod does a great version of it.
WHAT A GREAT FUCKIN SONG IS THIS? OOH YEAH!!!!!

GREAT ROD!!!

@Tokopol Just watched it. Good movie, good song.
I agree.

I know! i can't find it anywhere. CD, download.... It's driving , me mad!!
Chubby Checker would jump right out of 1960 if he ever heard this cover.

This sounds better at speed 1.25 :)
I like Sam Cooke's better.
But Rod has a very nice voice!

This is a washed out pop version. Ronnie Wood smokes on the orginal version. This verison sucks. But still love ya Rod...Great show last night.
Rod Stewart must've got Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" leather tuxedo from a garage sale for his video.
HOLA ALGUIEN ME PUEDE DECIR COMO SE LLAMA EL ACTOR QUE ES COMICO......DE TANTAS PELICULAS......LOS DOS GROSOS!!!
yes!!!! i twist!!!!
gay means happy as well
Holy shit! Was that Michelle Johnson as Martin Short's movie date??
♥♥♥
@difolk i kindda like this song, is that wrong??
Anyone know where I can find this version?
open a new window,copy the link from the you tube video, on the new window type in youtube to mp3 and find a program that does that,paste the link on the program download the song, it should go to your windows media player, burn it to a cd and your done, i know pain in the butt but if you want it bad enough youll do it, i do it all the time, theres a lot of awesome songs on youtube that are certain versions of the originals that you will never find on a cd
imho, his first version of this was much stronger. I believe it was on Never A Dull Moment.
maybe he was Rod in disguise, and on vacation. LOL! :)
Rod Stewart ando Dudley Moore... in some ways, they were look alikes.
13 people prefer the original by Sam Cooke.
I can't say if I prefer one over the other.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of remakes, it causes people to forget who the original singer was.
However, as long as they don't completely butcher the original, I say let the music play on.
@Butterfly1Blue 42 or 43 when he made this video
This isn't his best song ever. I liked the version off "Never a dull moment"
@blueballsredhair Actually Sam Cooke did the original.......
@blueballsredhair Agreed pal. An offence to the original Rod version.
@noms3 Read my post. It says right there "original cover." I know it's a Sam Cooke song.
@blueballsredhair
I think it's kinda obvious why this guy's got "blue balls"....
Not to offend anyone here but,this version is weak compared to the one off "Never a Dull Moment".That version had Ron Wood and The Faces and they just tore it up.This video lacks that same spirit.
soz but this sucks sam cooke forever although i love the bring it on home you send me live thats awesome rod stewart best hes ever done i think
Not near as good as Sam Cookes but still a fine effort !
Even if Rod will never be Sam, and no one, I mean NO ONE in the world will ever beat Sam, Rod's voice is not bad, and has his charm, a different charm, but I must say that the instrumentation of this version really sucks!! It's too bad that the instrumentation ruins the song that could be cool with a better instrumentation...
i don't like the guitar in this song & it can't beat original
Not as good as the Sam Cooke version but Sam Cooke was AMAZING
Still a decent cover
The word gay meant happy many years before the fruits ruined it. They need to make up another word to describe them.
sam cookes was much better.
The 1972 version was nice but this 80s version is my favorite. He recorded it for the movie "Innerspace" and included it in his Storyteller album.
a very good song which we didn't hear much in the radio. Why??? well, simply because the 80's were full of great songs.... couldn't play them all !
Great movie Innerspace! Hilarious line where Martin says "Help me doctor I'm possessed"! LOL! What a fun song! Rod and Martin must have had fun doing the video together. Wonder why they didn't get Dan and Meg in it too?
I gonna get so much hate for saying this, but I prefer this version over the original.
This actually isn't a bad cover:)
LOVE SAM COOKE BUT ROD REALLY KICKS IT UP.
Is this avalable on any album? i realllllly want to get hold of this version!
haha i remember this from innerspace, that was a badass movie
great video, I love that he had martin short in it, that made it funny and great !!!!!
The Jack Putter machine 0 defects.
MARTIN SHORT!!!! DENNIS Quaid!!!!Meg Ryan!!!!
me encanta "viaje Insolito"
por esa pelicula me encanta Rod Stewart
@tsjrlover I hear ya! What a GREAT version and a real honour to the late great Sam Cooke, dang the 80's were a good fun time, what happened...?
Love this video and Rod. Martin is a little cutey too..
Love Rod!
More than excellent. More than cool. I'll be twistting for night and day away. Anyway... Love Rod!
There was a guy who worked at a clothing store at the Bristol Mall in Bristol Va. in the 80's. This dude looked like Rods twin brother. Same hair cut and all. We called him Rod Stewart.
@tsjrlover - he wouldn't have been 66 when he made this promo video but he does look and move very good for his age.
I always said that Rod and Dudley Moore are lookalikes.
INNERSPACE! yes! loved that movie!
one of the most sexiest musicians ever! n oh what a voice!
I'm possessed!!!
@nadenka64 - your comment made me laugh.
@blueballsredhair - maybe you could try that comment again without the bad language !
