    This is great. I love it that Tom Jones stays relevant by teaming up with current artists. His voice is one of few of the old guard that has survived beautifully.

      The Cardigans are not current artists. They’re 90s artists that stopped releasing albums in 2005 with no intentions on making any more albums as the key songwriter left the group.

      Nina has zero funk. This song requires funk. Do not agree. Tom crushes it here though.
      edit: i like her addition as backup vocals on the chorus here. her tone works well there.

    I turn 66 in March. Back in the early to mid 1970’s my maternal grandmother was the same age I am now. I was extremely close to her. I spoke with her multiple times a day even throughout high school. She was a strong, wonderful woman, but very religious. She never cursed and never drank a drop of liquor until she was in her mid 80’s and went to Europe to celebrate after having both her hips and knees surgically replaced! She had ONE glass of wine in France to celebrate.
    So back in the early to mid 70’s she called and my mom answered the phone. My mom spoke to her for awhile and then asked if I wanted to talk to my Granny. I was lying in the floor watching one of the talk/variety shows (not sure if it was Mike Douglas or Dick Cavett or who….) I was very eagerly awaiting #TomJones to come out and perform. I told my mom to tell Granny I would call her back after I watched Tom Jones. My mother relayed the message. Suddenly, my mom yelled, “MOTHER! What did you say? WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT?!?” Tom wasn’t on yet so I instantly asked what Granny said. My mom was shocked. She finally blurted out: “Your GRANDMOTHER wants to know if you’re creaming your jeans waiting for Tom Jones!” My jaw DROPPED. I said I would figure it all out AFTER Tom Jones performed. I watched Tom and as usual: HUBBA HUBBA! ❤
    I called my Granny back. I thought she couldn’t possibly know what that phrase meant, but it seems one of my male cousins who was in college at the time had taken it upon himself to keep our very religious, but very cool grandma apprised of all the hip lingo.
    She knew what it meant and thought it was hilarious. She admitted to me years later when I was an adult that her saying that was the closest she ever came to cursing. But she felt it was important especially since she also liked Tom Jones.
    Generations of women bonding over Sir Tom Jones for decades. We will always love you, Tom! ❤❤❤

      I just heard this on the radio, but only heard the group as "The Cardigans." When I heard the voice I knew it was either Tom Jones or the lead singer had a heck of a voice. What a happy surprised to learn it is the man himself! I usually don't like covers, but I like this one. btw - I don't know if I'm your mother's age, but I was a kid when Jones became popular, so yeah, this was a surprise.
