Tom Jones Appreciation Thread - Page 3 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

He did a funny duet with Cerys From Catatonia - it's cold outside. You can just tell by listening to it she just wants to be impregnated with his babies.

I challenge any of the Lounge Ladies: If you got to duet this with Tom, would you want him badly by the end or what? I know I would.

(be honest now)

And yes, I've had to stop myself from joining in with the ladies who throw their panties at him. Not that I usually wear panties, of course.

Oh sure and when I am out there you tell me to go see the rat pack. I am sure they would be good but Tom Jones would be off the planet. I keep mentioning it when we are there but everyone just thinks I am kidding!

If you stay in Vegas, next time I come out you and I are going, assuming he is still playing there. Dam, Fish, Tom Jones, panties..... It would be epic!!!

The first time that I saw Tom Jones in Vegas about 15 years ago he did Unbelievable as well as Lenny Kravitz "Are You Gonna Go My Way". Prior to the show I was rather ambivalent to these two songs. Mr. Jones and his band gave these songs more life than the original versions.

I had a medical problem with Tom Jones. I went to my doc and told him I couldn't stop singing 'The Green Green Grass of Home'. He said 'You have Tom Jones Syndrome'. I asked him if it was rare. He said 'It's not unusual.'

I'll get me coat.

Someone mentioned the TV show earlier. Me and my family watched everweek.

Cassandra Peterson the woman who playes Elvira misstress of the dark told Howard stern many years ago that Tom jones took her virginity. She said she was a young showgirl in Vegas at the time. She also said he tore her up and she had to go to the hospital. Yikes!!!

If I had to give up my pooper for one man, it'd be Tom Jones.

He and his son used to come into a bar a friend of mine worked at and both of them would bet blotto and hit on everything female that moved. Usually successfully.

Tom Jones update: He just slayed it on American Idol, sporting a very dapper and new silver mane.

I unearthed this gem in a thrift store record bin as a freshman in college, and it rarely left the turntable for several years.

Tom Jones is the stone cold nuts.

You will learn to appreciate him one day, My Son. He simply has too much testosterone to a lad of your age and you naturally feel threatened.

Considering at my age testosterone levels in males are at their natural high and at Tom Jones age he has as much testosterone as floppy **** your statement made no sense at all.
