Tom Jones (covering Prince), Tom Jones and the CardigansQuotes:
Women are still throwing their undies at me in concert but now the panties are quite a bit larger than they used to be. Submitted by: LucidLupin
| I always feel a bit guilty when Catherine Zeta Jones talks to me and I can't converse with her in Welsh. Let's not complain about why things don't work. Let's see if we can come up with something that we can all get behind. I haven't become an American! Having a house in LA is just where the house is. It's just a convenience thing living there. I carry Wales around inside me. I'd consider moving back there one day. I never really left. I like to drink to suit my location. I've always worn jewellery but for a time it went out of fashion. Like grungy and punk bands didn't wear jewellery because it was stupid. You can't be a sexy person unless you have something sexy to offer. With me, it's my voice: the way that I sing, the way I express myself when I sing Submitted by: LucidLupin

"The Young New Mexican Puppeteer"
Better Lyrics:
The old Old Mexican Puppeteer
He caused the people to live in fear
He knew that they wouldn't listen to
A puppet telling them what to do!
So he stole some paint and he stole some wood
He did some carving and it was no good
And people went running so they wouldn't hear
The old Old Mexican Puppeteer!
He caused the people to live in fear
He knew that they wouldn't listen to
A puppet telling them what to do!
So he stole some paint and he stole some wood
He did some carving and it was no good
And people went running so they wouldn't hear
The old Old Mexican Puppeteer!
Original Lyrics:
The young New Mexican Puppeteer
He saw the people would live in fear
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
A puppet telling them what to do!
So he got some paint and he got some wood
He did some carving and it was real good
And people came running so they could hear
The young New Mexican Puppeteer!
He saw the people would live in fear
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
A puppet telling them what to do!
So he got some paint and he got some wood
He did some carving and it was real good
And people came running so they could hear
The young New Mexican Puppeteer!

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"It's Not Unusual"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: It's not unusual to go out at any time,
But when I see you out and about it's such a crime. Why They're Nonsensical: Is either the singer or the addressee or both an escaped convict? No such thing is implied by any other part of the song, but that is pretty much what it would take for any crime to be implied in the addressee's being out and about or the singer's being out and about to see the addressee out and about. The crime in that cad would be breaking out of prison, bot nothing about the song makes sense of any such inference, so the lines are for that reason nonsensical.

| "Without Love (There Is Nothing)"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I have conquered the world
All but one thing did I have Without love I'd have nothing at all Why They're Nonsensical: No person can conquer the world. No one can have all but one thing. And a person can still have things even without love.

Insincere Song Lyrics:

I never would abuse her. Why They're Insincere: If Tom never would abuse her, then he would know when to stop singing to her.

Inappropriate Song Lyrics:
"Delilah"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
Why They're Inappropriate: It sounds like contemplation of suicide.
Submitted by: Alan the Ottoman
| "It's Not Unusual"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: But if I ever find that you've changed at any time
It's not unusual, to find that I'm in love with you Why They're Inappropriate: An 'If...then' statement (sometimes with the 'then' implied but not stated, as above) is supposed to imply a logical connection between the 'if' clause and the 'then' clause. But in this case it is pretty darned inscrutable what logical connection, if any, could exist between the two clauses!

| "What's New Pussycat?"
Opening Lines: What's new pussycat? Woah, Woah. What's new pussycat? Woah, woah.
Comments: Hot on the heels of Tom Jones first international top ten hit, "It's Not Unusual" he was requested to record the theme song for Peter Sellers new comedy for the fall of 1965, "What's New Pussycat?" Although, not totally as big of hit as "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat?" was still a major international hit for Welchman Tom Jones.
