Tom Jans' "When the Rebel Come home" is featured in the in the 2009 film  "Lonely Street" directed by Peter Ettinger and starring Jay Mohr.  The story is of an Elvis impersonator and Tom's song is performed in classic Elvis style. Given Tom Jans' admiration of the Elvis version of "Loving Arms" we are sure Tom would have loved this cover version of his song which was originally released on "Champion".
