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.
She just... she just did the math.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
My chairdance/must-sing-along to songs are pretty predictable, for the most part:
A whole bunch of stuff by MCR (off of all their albums, actually)
Plasticine by Placebo
Guitar Hero by Amanda Palmer
Days of Swine & Roses or Devilbunnies by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult
Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde
Nobody Likes You When You're Dead by Zombina and the Skeletones
Fairytale of New York by the Pogues
This Is Halloween from the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack
... and of course, the song that I will listen to on repeat for hours on end, Last Of The Famous International Playboys by Morrissey. I think I need to listen to it right now, actually.
