Think I'd better dance now!

Kiss...kiss...kiss...kiss....

You gotta not talk dirty, baby,
If you wanna impress me
You can't be too flirty, mama,
I know how to undress me
Let me be your fantasy,
And maybe you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We could have a good time

You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign
I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time
And your...kiss

Think I'd better dance now!

Kiss...
Kiss...
Kiss...
Kiss...
Kiss...

You don't have to be beautiful
To turn me on
I just need your body, baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'll show you what it's all about

You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign
I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time
And your...kiss

You gotta not talk dirty, baby
If you wanna impress me (ah ah ah)
You can't be too flirty, mama
I know how to undress me
Let me be your fantasy
And maybe (baby) you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We can have a good time

You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign
I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time
And your...kiss

Think I'd better dance now!

Women and girls rule my world
I say they rule my world
Act your age, mama, (not your shoe size) not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl
You don't have to watch Dynasty
To have an attitude
You gotta leave it all up to me
My love will be your food

You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign
I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time
And your....

(La la la!)

Kiss!

Wow, I never noticed the sample of "Do it Again" in the third verse before. Cool!
 
this came on the PSD and I was just reading your comment when I heard that.

7 years since it was played. This comment will never be read.

Go Giants!

Tom Jones makes top 10 bubble gum crap sound good like it so-post to. He's a treasure to the industry and any band or musician is honored when they are lucky enough to be chosen by him . Karl
Fun and campy. An aging sex machine giving it one more thrust.
Appalling, this was Tom trying to get "Down Wit Da Kidz" he should have packed it in years ago

there's good trash, which is still usable, and then there's smelly mildewy couches infested with fleas and spiders and mold that just needs to be doused in gasoline and then set on fire this rubbish should have been dragged to the curb long ago no offense Tom
Not quite as bad as Joss Stones Gimme Shelter cover. a low 3.
wow 2 of my 1s in a row cut it out Bill! ::gag::

Uh, can you provide some hard evidence of that? If so, than that 50% ain't invited to party at my place. People need to lighten up when Bill decides to play some camp. In any astute listener's musical education, one must learn to appreciate good trash.
I was living in England when this came out, and one of the DJs on BBC 1 played this alternating with the Prince original for an hour or so. What can I say, it grew on me.

30 minutes ago I was thinking how great my life is now that RP is in it. After two terrible covers, I once again realize how crappy my life is indeed!
couldn't help laughing at this (and relating)... good post.
Good for a chuckle. I sure this kills with all the blue haired ladies wathcing him in Vegas.
I'm sorry, but this doesn't do Prince's original any kind of justice. Hearing this remake induces laughter, but I don't think that was Mr. Jones' intention.
Gettin crowded in JAIL.

I adore this version of the song. Just to hear Tom Jones say "Think I better dance now..." makes me smile. And do a bit of chair dancing. And, were I not in the middle of an occupied office, I'd be singing. Fun. Just too much fun (if that is at all possible).
same here. except i was singing!
Two in a row rating less than 5.
Wow, I never noticed the sample of "Do it Again" in the third verse before. Cool!
Wow, two piles of shit in a row. Angelique Kidjo - Gimme Shelter Tom Jones - Kiss
Where's the skip button? Where? Where?
I would give this a lower score than I did except one is as low as it goes. Please no more. Pretty please with sugar on top.

I saw Tom Jones do this song on Arsenio Hall many years ago. Quite entertaining, actually. Afterwards, Arsenio says "so...what's that song about, anyway?"

Actually I quite like the song, and not just because I'm from Minneapolis. Prince has definitely had his moments. That said, I had forgotten how great this cover is. I gotta get it.

would they dare do a third now?
To all those who gave this a 1, loosen up. It's not meant to be taken seriously.

My first impression was but as I listen, it's really not bad! I happen to be an AON fan, so it helps out.

you have GOT to be kidding me... hahahahaha

Tom Jones with Art of Noise? Who would've thought? Not at all a bad mix.
You mean like William Shatner with Ben Folds?

I surfed onto Amazon (ALWAYS through the link on RP) and eventually saw he has an album out with Jools Holland. Looks cool. How about it Bill??
