Tom Jones is far from innocent, absolute sex symbol of his times. Ladies went absolutely hysterical over his performances and still go to this day, in his 80s. The man is a real lady magnet.
Loved the expression on your face during his “moves”. He almost had to be censured because he could be so suggestive. Women threw panties at him on stage. He is still singing now at age 80, he is a judge on the British version of the Voice. He is now Sir Tom Jones.
Tom Jones has a reputation of being very “spicy”.. He was a real sex symbol do I the 60s and 70s for many women, who would throw their undies at him on stage during his concerts
That man had women throwing bras and panties at him because of his style. Pussycat was a term of endearment like sweetheart, honey or boo. He turned it into a play on words with the melody and tempo to throw in a little alley cat/french streetwalker in but talking to the woman he loves
he was the essence of smoooth and coool back in the 60's. Women went insane over him, throwing their bras, panties and hotel room keys on the stage at him
Tom Jones was also referred to as "Tom and his Jones". Not only for waggling it around, but also for its apparent size and its standing ovations during his performances. Unfortunately for me, he stopped performing in Vegas before I was old enough to go see him.
OK. I know what you were thinking but you are mistaken. Domestic cats in British Commonwealth countries in those days were called Pussycats (a term kids and a lot of adults used). It wasn't until USA-speak turned the first word into something else. No-one used that reference outside North America, although with all the North American movies and TV shows bombarding other countries that some of the kids these days use it. The song was used in the 1965 French-American film "What's new Pussycat". It's innocent but Tom Jones wasn't 😁 He's singing about a girl who is cute and cuddly.
At that time, pussycat was also used in a nonsuggestive way in the US, as it was a benign term of endearment, just the same as in the UK. Those of us from a certain generation fully well know, that pussy can be something else.
Lol. I was a young teenager and I never noticed it was anything weird. I remember going around as a kid singing that song all over the place. It was catchy! Loved it! Anyone could sing it, and we did. Lmao.
Fantastic reaction to our beloved Sir Tom Jones. Here in Britain he is a national treasure, most brits consider sir Tom to be the best male singer ever :) and most women threw underwear at him in concerts for a reason ...
Hell, Tom is 80 still get ladies flustered. He is on The Voice UK as one the judges and mentor. Jennifer Hudson also a mentor and judge goes fan girl as Tom sings one of his songs.
Had to watch this again as I often do. This is my all time FAVORITE reaction to any song by any reactor. I often tell people to watch it. Jayy you are so precious young lady. I’m a 73 yr old lady and I just love you. Keep up the great work.
Sweetie, I was in elementary school when I first heard this. It wasn't until I graduated with a Master's degree that I recognized the metaphor and double meaning
Hi Jayy!!! I really can appreciate your surprise to Tom's stage performance of What's New Pussycat. Actually, Tom has always been "spicy". He isn't bashful by any stretch of the imagination and he absolutely loves performing on stage. He believes in giving his audience what they want and he's more than happy doing it. We're talking about a guy that started trying to dance in his mother's baby carrier that she secured around her upper body and sat baby Tommy in it. When she'd be going about the home cleaning she also had music playing or she was singing herself. Baby Tommy would be wriggling around in the carrier trying to dance. He was born loving music and it was inevitable that he went into music when he was a teenager. So, I hope I've been able to give you a little more insight on this wonderful world reknowned singer.
He had a concert about 10 days ago. Even in the Pandemic! On Facebook, search Tom Jones , make sure there’s a blue check after his name. Check him out. 💛💛💛💛
There were Three heart-throbs back then or as you would say spicy. Elvis , Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck At around 7 my mom put me in a talent show I lipsynked to Tom Jones Daughter off Darkness Would love for you to react to it. It's been year's sense I heard it Thanks again and Great Reaction Stay Safe
When Tom Jones was told by his record producer the title of the song he would be recording for the movie, as yet untitled, he just replied "WHAT!!!?!!"
One of the tragedies of Tom's career is how quickly he got side-tracked from soul belter to Vegas crooner. Time is a great leveller, however, and he is completely restored in the public's eyes. In fact the song that did it was his version of Prince's 'Kiss' with The Art of Noise: ua-cam.com/video/7nE0IdXSv6Y/v-deo.html.
No other artist in my lifetime made the women swoon quite like Tom Jones. He had it all - the looks, the powerful instrument, the moves, and some carefully selected songs that allowed him to show it all off. There’s no denying that Tom Jones was a superstar. I believe he is (or was) one of the judges on one of the musical talent shows on TV - maybe The Voice or The Masked Singer. Not sure which one. But he is (or was) on one of them.
The sentiment of this song comes from the poem "The Owl and the Pussycat" which most people of Tom's generation would have known from childhood nursery rhymes. It was a fun song which took something innocent, an old childhood poem, and made it naughty and updated it for the 1960s sexual revolution. Just look at it from the context of the time, not with a 21st century lens.
No, it’s not. It’s an original song by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the film ‘What’s New Pussycat’ and is meant to capture the zaniness of Peter Sellers who starred.
Me and my cousins used to exchange looks with each other riding in the back of the car- We knew why our aunts / mothers were giggling in the front seat when this was on the radio.
Lmao. You thought Tom was innocent :D One of the most manly men in History is our Tom. Not many women have had a man like Tom. Just like Jennifer Hudson once said on The Voice UK. lol Water? Cold shower is that way....... :D
I think you may be confused. At the time of the song, pussycat was a term of endearment like sweetheart or darling. You may be confusing it with the later, offensive meaning of the word pussy.
@@shyphyre yes was comedy about a sex addict who called all his young ladies Pussycat basically because there were so many of them plus he was always getting steaming drunk he just couldn't remember their real names
Control yoself, gurrl, or you'll have "a moment". Seriously, I love the looks on your face when he's "dancing". They censored Elvis for swinging his hips in the 50's. I think the "Tom Jones Show" ran in the late 60s. (Edit: 1969-1971.) Things were allowed to be a lot raunchier. As others have pointed out, women went wild at his concerts, throwing their panties onto the stage and all sorts of other shameful behaviour.
Tom was competing with Elvis at the time I remember it vividly that's why Tom was wild on stage. They were always comparing them asking who is number one and all that bull.
Tom wasn't in any personal or professional competition with Elvis. They were friends. They enjoyed each other's voices and performances. Tom even encouraged Elvis to make his "1968 Comeback." It was the managers who were leery about who was more "popular," and the entertainment media was intent on hyping conflict whenever possible to boost advertising sales for their tabloids, fluff magazines, and gossipy TV coverage of celebrities. Of course. the die-hard fans of each singer factored in, being vocal and fighting constantly over who supposedly was better. (They still do argue... even with Tom still recording, touring, and singing... and, sadly, with Elvis gone for years now). We're blessed with both legacies of music from two incredible and popular performers. Just enjoy, people. Stop fighting!
Today Feb 6th was my mothers birthday, my sister and I was reminiscing on all of my mothers favorite artist & songs, so there was "The Seekers" Judith Durham singing "Georgy Girl" Another You, there was "The Fifth Dimension" Beautiful Balloon, Wedding bell blues, Aquarius, Neil Diamond, Sweet Caroline AND THEN "Tom Jones" the Tom Jones show I was around 10, we were to be seen yet not heard, her friend would come over, my mother and her would sit there and latterly LUST over him, I left the living room and over heard my mom and her friend Loopy LOL talking about him and I could not believe the words that came out of my mothers mouth "Loopy I know he has a big D___G lol I thought how gross. Before watching your video I was sending video clips of these artist and while the Pussy cat video same one you showed was playing I got to laughing so hard I peed my paints, I had to shut it off. Dear mother as we road in the back seat of her 1966 Ford Falcon powder blue with the AM radio playing (93 khj) in LA, when the fifth dimension got to the part Balloon real high up in range mom would sing it so loud OUT OF KEY made my head burst, then Wedding bell blues, she would sing Marry me BILL so loud but she re-married a A__H))E named Art puzzled me lol, can you tell I miss my Mother? She passed over to be with God three years ago at the age of 89. Thanks for your video I did change my paints lol. OH she tried to get me to learn how to play that Pussy Cat song, I'd walk away and she would say "Well I pay for your guitar lessons" I turned around and said mom, any song but that one lol. So I learned "Sweet Caroline" made her smile.
Tom Jones is far from innocent, absolute sex symbol of his times. Ladies went absolutely hysterical over his performances and still go to this day, in his 80s. The man is a real lady magnet.

The look on your face was priceless!!!!
This was the 1st time I have watched this too!! I had the exact same look on my face! ; D
Tom Jones has a reputation of being very “spicy”.. He was a real sex symbol do I the 60s and 70s for many women, who would throw their undies at him on stage during his concerts
They still do.
Roderick MacKay Was just gonna say the same thing 😂 They sure still do 🤣
Correct, they still do. It’s just that now their undies are the size of a bed sheet.
I would
@@christopherpaul7681 OMG!!! LOL!!! I know I'm a woman, but that's damn funny!!! LOL!!
The song is about a girl not what your thinking about. From the film "what's new pussycat "
That man had women throwing bras and panties at him because of his style. Pussycat was a term of endearment like sweetheart, honey or boo. He turned it into a play on words with the melody and tempo to throw in a little alley cat/french streetwalker in but talking to the woman he loves
I remember when my mom watched his tv show and she and her sisters would be fanning themselves lol.
Great reaction sweetheart I to had the same reaction
he was the essence of smoooth and coool back in the 60's. Women went insane over him, throwing their bras, panties and hotel room keys on the stage at him
Tom Jones was also referred to as "Tom and his Jones". Not only for waggling it around, but also for its apparent size and its standing ovations during his performances. Unfortunately for me, he stopped performing in Vegas before I was old enough to go see him.
I heard he sent Elvira mistress of the hospital, she was a gropie!
Tom is "the man" who is thankfully still with us. Still sexy after all these years.

I used to love it when Tom Jones sang on TV when I was kid in the sixties
Lol. I was a young teenager and I never noticed it was anything weird. I remember going around as a kid singing that song all over the place. It was catchy! Loved it! Anyone could sing it, and we did. Lmao.
Fantastic reaction to our beloved Sir Tom Jones. Here in Britain he is a national treasure, most brits consider sir Tom to be the best male singer ever :) and most women threw underwear at him in concerts for a reason ...
Tom can still get the ladies all in a flutter haha great reaction Jayy
Hell, Tom is 80 still get ladies flustered. He is on The Voice UK as one the judges and mentor. Jennifer Hudson also a mentor and judge goes fan girl as Tom sings one of his songs.

Haha he was a real character!!! Lovin your reaction girl.... hahahaha...
😂 this is the best reaction I’ve seen... your face was priceless. My mum and her friend loved him, went to his concerts.
Thanks for this 💕
Tom in his prime! Oh yes!
I'm just glad he kept remembering to say cat
Sweetie, I was in elementary school when I first heard this. It wasn't until I graduated with a Master's degree that I recognized the metaphor and double meaning
And they used to censor Elvis for shaking his leg.....
Right, lol?

I think that's the first time I have ever heard "Tom Jones" and "innocent" used in the same sentence.
Me, too! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💘💘💘
haha baby you luv the old school
He had a concert about 10 days ago. Even in the Pandemic! On Facebook, search Tom Jones , make sure there’s a blue check after his name. Check him out. 💛💛💛💛
Fine ass Tom Jones....and He can sing.
There were Three heart-throbs back then or as you would say spicy.
Elvis , Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinck
At around 7 my mom put me in a talent show

Daughter off Darkness
Would love for you to react to it.
It's been year's sense I heard it Thanks again and

Don't feel bad because when Tom Jones performs, WOMEN LOSE THEIR MINDS. Keep on.
She cant handle the bass drop hips 😆
Him: 🕺🏻
Her: 👀
As soon as Tom walked you were, “oh, hello there 😍”
🤣
☮️💙💙💙you’re blushing!
Your reaction to the lyrics is priceless.
Tom Jones was known as "the Tiger of Wales"

Wait until you react to Sex Bomb by Sir Tom Jones my goodness you'll definitely need that bottle of water ♥️
Best reaction I've seen!! Lol
Please play Tom Jones LOVE MACHINE (the one with him dancing to it! Promise: you will dig it!
When Tom Jones was told by his record producer the title of the song he would be recording for the movie, as yet untitled, he just replied "WHAT!!!?!!"
One of my fav movies. The balcony scene.....OMG!
One of the tragedies of Tom's career is how quickly he got side-tracked from soul belter to Vegas crooner. Time is a great leveller, however, and he is completely restored in the public's eyes. In fact the song that did it was his version of Prince's 'Kiss' with The Art of Noise: ua-cam.com/video/7nE0IdXSv6Y/v-deo.html.
The song was from Jame Bond "What's New Pussycat." Written by Burt Bacharach for the movie. Pussycat was an secret agent.
Your face! I laughed hard 😂
Jayy, is it no wonder he is flashy, and a beautiful voice, he and Elvis were friends!!!! Tom's voice is still GREAT today!!!!
You didn’t have to say anything your face said it all... 😸
You are hysterical.....
This was also the theme of the 1965 comedy What's New Pussycat? with Peter Sellers.
No other artist in my lifetime made the women swoon quite like Tom Jones.

Not many women have had a man like Tom. Just like Jennifer Hudson once said on The Voice UK. lol
Water? Cold shower is that way....... :D
You miss the point, that pussycat is an innocent term.
@@brainsareus I haven't. I didn't mention anything about that pussycat.
One of the best reactions I've seen Jayy, priceless.
I think you may be confused. At the time of the song, pussycat was a term of endearment like sweetheart or darling. You may be confusing it with the later, offensive meaning of the word pussy.
I was more wowed about the dance and him licking the fingers that’s why I was likeee uhh but I figured out what he meant when he said cat eyes
What’s new pussycat? Is the theme song for the movie of the same name that came out in the 60s.
No pussy meant the same thing then, but using it as pussy cat was a way of getting away with using it. IMO.
@@shyphyre yes was comedy about a sex addict who called all his young ladies Pussycat basically because there were so many of them plus he was always getting steaming drunk he just couldn't remember their real names
I cant even tell you how many times you about made me lose my wine! 😂😂😂🤘🏼 much love!🤘🏼
True story my 3rd grade teacher played this song in the classroom all the time. I knew something about this song was not appropriate in my spirit!
You should react to his song Treat Her Right, NOW that is a seductive one to watch. Great reaction. 💜
Sir Tom Jones is still a star, judge on the UK Voice
Bucket list babe. Rip, miss mary wilson.
Such a great reaction!
Tom’s got you SHOOK!
This lady has the BIGGEST crush on tom
Dude loves kitties what can I say? 😂 🐱 🐱
Control yoself, gurrl, or you'll have "a moment". Seriously, I love the looks on your face when he's "dancing".

Admit it, you were ready to melt like butter.
Your expression was priceless
This song was made for a movie in the beginning of the 60, called whats up pussie cat? He was frisky, but not that frisky😄.
" I don't know why Delilah left now." 😂😂😂😂
A karaoke favorite and long awaited reaction. A rollicking fun song that you reacted so well to.
‘Powder your nose’ back then did not mean Cocaine if that’s what you’re thinking. It was slang for going to the Powder room(toilet).
JAYY, I laughed and laughed at your reaction!
Tom was competing with Elvis at the time I remember it vividly that's why Tom was wild on stage. They were always comparing them asking who is number one and all that bull.

I guess back then men referred to pretty woman as pussycats 🤷🏻♀️, however others have said what we’re all thinking 🙉🙈😂
There was even a movie named after this called, None Other "What's New PussyCat," with Woody Allen, Peter O'tool.. Watched it at The Drive-In..
Your so funny JAYY lol great reaction video to watch..
Much as I adore Tom I've never been able to get my head around that song
He took that move from his very good and close friend ELVIS.. or vice versa.. lol
lol love your reactions, Tom is great.
💗Tom💗
You know tom got that stroke game on point 😂
I think your brain stopped working for a few moments---Tom has that effect on women :-)
The welsh king himself x love from wales
That was a tame show.
OG Tom Jones
