Music Quotes:

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

Song Parody Fragments:

"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!
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!

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"What's New Pussycat?"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I'll soon be kissing
your sweet little pussycat lips
Why They're Nonsensical:
Man,what a gigantic pile of bull it all sounds like now.Can you imagine limbering up to a girl in this day and age,whether you know her well or not,and prattling out,What's new pussycat?No.and neither can I.So,Mr Jones,girls are a bunch of sweet little felines are they?Yeah,right.Maybe on whatever planet this garbage was written on.Fact is ole' buddy boy they aint.They're human beings,and,just like dudes,there are good ones and bad ones.He's got flowers and many hours to spend with her,and spouts all manner of laughable drivel like,Go powder that little pussycat nose,and,Oh how I love those pussycat eyes.As a sidenote to this insanity,I think that Tom Jones and others down through the years have somehow forgotten that there are male cats as well.Also,since when were cats so nice and sweet anyway?One false move with those little beasts and your eye could be clawed out or something.One final observation about this drivel-He might not even be that well in with this so-called pussycat girl,for at one point he prattles that if all his wishes come true he'll soon be kissing her-That's what happens when you start out to write drivel.It can end in cocking even that up.Guys,there are times when I seriously marvel at some people-Especially some lyricists and singers.

"I, Who Have Nothing"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I,I who have nothing
I,I who have noone
I'm just a noone
With nothing to give you,but oh,BR>I love you
Why They're Nonsensical:
Anyone who checks out my views on It's not unusual,will see that I have likened the guy portrayed to a lunatic.Well,here we are again with yet another Jones number,and we're being presented with maybe the wettest dude in song history..Just what is going on in this guy's brain?This apparently mentally challenged dude freely admits that he has nothing and noone in his life-One wonders if he brought that hideous state of affairs on himself-He openly admits,at least to himself as noone else is interested,that he has nothing to give this mysterious lady who has captivated his heart.However,he loves her,and is convinced that noone else loves her as he does,including the man in her life who showers her with diamonds and takes her everywhere.Perhaps the saddest line of all is relating that he must watch her with his nose pressed up against the window-Man,I can just picture that now.In my mind's eye there's a stark picture of this tragic clown,with his konk flattened against the glass,as he burns for the unattainable lady going dancing by with her rich boyfriend.The image Jones is producing here,made even more startling by his powerful,rich delivery,is that of a totally hopeless geek,with a blazing crush on a beautiful girl who doesn't even know,and,one suspects,wouldn't want to know,that he even exists.All that is certain is that he loves her.Infatuation gone mad,personified in what could be the saddest specimen of the male I've ever heard of in a song.

Insincere Lyrics:

"She's A Lady"

Always treat her with respect,

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

Inappropriate Lyrics:

"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!

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.
