I’m sharing this if only because I like these serendipitous moments on YouTube where you discover something that has existed for more than a decade but you never knew about it.
As to the why of this video…I don’t know. It’s a pairing that really shouldn’t work at all. I’m not even sure that it does. But I love Tom Jones and I love The Cardigans. I have no opinion about the Talking Heads, whose song they’re covering here.
Also, here’s my favorite YouTube comment of the day:
If I had a voice like Tom Jones’ I’d give up all my worldy possesions and stand on a street corner and sing things like: Who wants waffles?! Hoh, yeeah — wahh haff alls!

Bonus Video!
Remember the ’90s? Man, I feel like I’m a Freshman in college again watching this. I really enjoyed the kitschy, bubblegummy flavor of The Cardigans’ early albums. It wasn’t earth shattering stuff, but it was fun.
I highly recommend watching this on YouTube so that you can simultaneously enjoy the debate about whether Justin Bieber is the Satan-spawn or merely a faggot. For the record, I’ve got nothing against Justin Bieber–he seems like a good kid. That said, his song that samples Lovefool sucks balls in the worst way.

Did you know that I posted this video on facebook a couple days ago? I posted it on the wall of somebody who isn’t a mutual friend, so you probably didn’t see it. If not, that’s a funny coincidence.
Anyway, this is a cool cover, and that chick is still the most beautiful woman on the planet.
So… do you think Bieber got that girl pregnant or what?
No, I didn’t see that. Wow–that’s a bizarrely strange coincidence.
I’m going to give Bieber the benefit of the doubt. I’m just surprised it took this long for somebody to claim that he’s her baby daddy. Also, going by what I read on YouTube, Bieber is teh ghey.
I dunno. Bieber can’t walk down to the Redbox at the 7-11 next to his mansion without every teenage girl going ape shit. How could anybody — as a human being — not just give in and fuck everybody?
Good question. But the Justins of the world need to stick together.
