Of Tom Jones' oeuvre, I prefer "Sex Bomb" to "It's Not Unusual." *g*

I have to admit, I also really like his remake of "Kiss." It's delightfully cheesy.
His "Kiss" actually made me reconsider his past work, and decide that he passes from kitschy to "Nobody Does A Better Tom Jones Impression."
He's yet another performer that I think would be better respected if he sung in another language, because all of his virtue is in
how
he's performing rather than
what
he's performing.

Plus Art of Noise. What's not to like?
I must admit, ever since I saw BOUND I've had a secret fondness for "She's a Lady". And I thought he was a riot in MARS ATTACKS!
Clearly I need a Best of Tom Jones album.
HA! I find that song strangely compelling, but then I find La Brit strangely compelling in general.
I think I may have to acquire her new album in some form.
I love both Tom Jones and Xanadu.
If you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it!
For fellow fans of the Cory-Corb-Ben trinity of holy americana, Last Chance Diner has posted a new song by Cory here.
And make sure you listen through to the end, because he included (shh and spoiler font)
Cory's Irish-influenced cover of Lucero's "It Gets the Worst at Night."
I just might get through the rest of the work day with this on repeat.
eta and since i am listening to it on repeat, here are some lyrics.
Someone screwed the sky too tight
I laughed and filled my lungs with light
I wish I may, wish I might
Line my coat with kites
