TOM JONES SINGS HIS 1965 HIT
Guess who was playing at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, in the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood area, last night?
None other than Sir Thomas Jones Woodward a/k/a Tom Jones, a Welsh singer and heartthrob who had a run of hits in the 1960s, including, "It's Not Unusual," the theme song for the James Bond film Thunderball (1965), "Green, Green Grass of Home," "Delilah," "She's a Lady," "Sex Bomb", and a cover of Prince's "Kiss.”

For those of you who are pussycats, or happen to be into them, here’s Jones singing his 1965 hit, “What's New Pussycat?,” which was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. (It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song back in 1966.)

What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Pussycat, pussycat
I’ve got flowers and lots of hours to spend with you
So go and powder your cute little pussycat nose
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat nose
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Pussycat, pussycat
You’re so thrilling and I’m so willing to care for you
So go and make up your big little pussycat eyes
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat eyes
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Pussycat, pussycat
You’re delicious and if my wishes can all come true
I’ll soon be kissing your sweet little pussycat lips
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat lips (whoa whoa), you and your pussycat eyes (whoa whoa)
You and your pussycat nose

Even though Sir Jones is turning 83 on June 7, many think he’s still the cat’s meow ….
