Tom Jones Tickets – What’s Tom’s Sexiest Song?
Tom Jones’ songs are instantly sexy when he sings them live, as his macho persona and overtly amorous dancing combined with a flirtatious stage presence can make even the most bland songs seem outright steamy. But what is his most sexy song? The vast library of Tom Jones singles is far too large to come up with an answer, but narrowing down the field to three of his most famous hits could produce a legitimate contender for the title of Sexiest Tom Jones Song. “It’s Not Unusual,” “She’s a Lady” and “Hello, Pussycat” are the songs we will break down in terms of sexiness.
“It’s Not Unusual”
Tom Jones’ first mega hit was “It’s Not Unusual,” a bouncing, swaying song that still leaves audience members in a tizzy to this day. Considered to be too raw and amorous at first, “It’s Not Unusual” actually turned out to be a No. 1 hit in the UK and a top ten hit in the United States. The lyrics are more sweet and sentimental than some of his later works. The closing lyrics emphasize this: “It’s not unusual to be mad with anyone/ It’s not unusual to be sad with anyone/ But if I ever find that you’ve changed at anytime/ It’s not unusual to find out I’m in love with you.” The song deals mainly with the heartache and grief that Tom Jones is feeling at the thought of seeing his lover out and on the town without him.
While sometimes Tom will substitute sex for love in his songs, this one is clearly about a kind of jealous, puppy dog love. On a hotness scale from zero to ten “It’s Not Unusual” receives a five, as the lyrics never border on inappropriate and stay clean yet saucy. Perhaps the most sexy lines form the song are: “Love will never do/ What you want it to/ Why can’t this crazy love be mine?” The listener gets the slightest hint of aggression, but Tom’s still relatively subtle.
“She’s A Lady”
Coming out in 1971, “She’s A Lady” was a hit at perhaps the height in Tom Jones’ career. It reached No. 1 in the U.S. The song was written by Paul Anka, but the lyrics must have been inspired by Sir Tom Jones with the way it takes a sensuous turn at the end. The first few lines are all about the classiness and sophistication of Tom’s lover. Lyrics like “She’s got style, she’s got grace” and “Always treat her with respect” are some of the song’s main highlights in the early going. Tom Jones even wants to take this one out to dinner. However, “She’s A Lady” turns for the sexy in the last few stanzas.
Consider this outburst: “Well she knows what I’m about/ She can take what I dish out, and that’s not easy/ Well she knows me through and through/ And she knows just what to do, and how to please me.” It’s pretty clear what Tom is trying to describe here, and you’d probably get the point clearly If you were to buy Tom Jones tickets online to see his live performance. Just in case you thought Paul Anka wouldn’t hide a sexy metaphor in noticeably dirty language, he offers this little gem: “Help me build a mountain from a little pile of clay/ Hey, hey, hey.” Tom Jones’ hit “She’s A Lady” receives a seven out of ten on the sexiness scale.
“What’s New Pussycat?”
What’s New Pussycat,” written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, is by far Tom Jones’ most overtly sexy song. The song is rife with little lines that take the audience just far enough without becoming vulgar, such as, “Pussycat, Pussycat/ You’re so thrilling/ And I’m so willing” or “Pussycat, Pussycat/ You’re delicious/ And if my wishes/ Can all come true/ I’ll soon be kissing your sweet little pussycat lips!” Is there any competition to this song when it comes to Tom Jones being raunchy? Turning his lover into a feline pet is just the sort of 1970s machismo and sexism that only Tom Jones could pull off. This song is a ten out of ten.
