It's not Unusual to be a Sex Bomb
Hello Hello to all you wonderful Hivians
One thing that strikes me about Hive ...
There is always something that you learn if you engage with other Hivians...
With all this media talk about Sam Bankman-Fried and his trial not to mention his parents, it got me thinking of ...
SBF, KLF or SLF so many fluffing F's!
So yes it nearly was a ttt with songs from KLF or Stiff Little Fingers but no I never got that far.
It is Tuesday and that of course means that it's #ttt or #threetunetuesday and so it's time to share some tunes with you!
@ablaze started #ttt 121 weeks ago! Go check out what it is all about on his latest post Damian Marley for Three Tune Tuesday - Week 122 - 10 HBI shares to be won!
Do go support @ablaze as without him we would not have this mental fun musical activity that you can win HSBI from! I am happy to be one of the TEN sponsors and it is kinda fun checking out music from all over this global village of ours!
Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday
So I have mentioned the post from @ablaze what I did not mention was that in his post he mentioned
Ok, folks you'll know by now that I love a good Tiny Desk concert. They are the gift that keep on giving. Such a simple idea and yet genius in it's simplicity and ingenuity.
Did you see Tiny Desk concert in there? A great post from ablaze by the way I do love the Marley musical family.
I had earlier this morning read my first ttt post for week 121 by none other that @coquicoin who by despite being a fellow silver blogger keeps her ear on the pulse with today's music via her son Rodrigo and I quote ...
Yesterday, when I talked with my son, he asked me if I had seen the Tiny Desk that they just released a few days ago of this Venezuelan band on the occasion of Latin Heritage Month at the Tiny Desk Concerts.
Do you see it ... Tiny Desk Concerts ... yep I am being surrounded buy these wee Tiny Desk Concerts.
Fluff it thought I, and decided there would be no F in my post for ttt today, so I went to the List of Tiny Desk Concerts
What a fascinating list, did you know that it goes back to the year 2008?
I never did!
If you are wondering about what these Tiny Desk concerts are and where they came from, then wonder no more...
Tiny Desk Concerts is a video series of live concerts hosted by NPR Music at the desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen in Washington, D.C.
The first Tiny Desk Concert came about in 2008 after Boilen and NPR Music editor Stephen Thompson left South by Southwest frustrated that they couldn't hear the music over the crowd noise.[1][2] Thompson joked that the musician, folk singer Laura Gibson, should just perform at Boilen's desk. A month later Boilen arranged for her to do just that, making an impromptu recording and posting it online.[3] The name is taken from Boilen's 1970s psychedelic dance band called Tiny Desk Unit.[4]
If you know me, I do try to have a wee story or two when I post a ttt post.
Daffodils!
What country do you think of when you see daffodils? Wales?
For me, it is always Wales.
So in tribute to The Welsh rugby union team beating Australia and qualifying for the rugby world cup quarter-finals I am going to have this post dedicated to a singer from that list I told you about!
I am sure the post title has given it away, if you haven't guessed then you are in for a treat!
TOM JONES
Sir Thomas Jones Woodward OBE is a Welsh singer born on born 7 June 1940 in a village called Treforest next to a small town called Pontypridd.
I want to Pontypridd to study Chemical Engineering and lived in Treforest.
Tom Jones - She's A Lady
Fun story. Being a broke student I would help out at the bar of our local pub when I was 18. Awesome fun and used to get free beer, food and money!
A real community pub it was. As a general rule the locals didn't the students so few ever ventured in the pub, I was Scottish I was different. I was Jock and I was tolerated with open arms.
This song came on the jukebox once and I started singing from behind the bar. Let's say for every pint I served I think I had one myself so I was a wee bit worse for wear.
A couple of girls I knew came into the bar just as She's A Lady came on the jukebox.
Off I went into singing drunken mode.
One of the mothers (we called them passion pigs they were animals) of the girls comes up to the bar and says to me ...
Who do you think you are? Tom Fucking Jones
Talk about a mental blow to the balls 🤣
Tom Jones - It's Not Unusual
This was featured in my title and here is something unusual about Tom Jones...
Like I said earlier he was actually born Thomas Jones Woodward and he was actually the front man for the band Tommy Scott and the Senators. They used to play the local clubs in South Wales without much success.
As things often do though, one person led to meeting another person and he ended up meeting Gordon Mills who got him into the London music scene and became his manager.
In 1963 apparently, there was a successful and award-winning film called Tom Jones
The rest as they say is history.
Tom Jones, Mousse T. - Sexbomb
Tom Jones was a bit of a sex idol back in the day.
So much so that when Mrs T was a child her mother and stepfather went away to Las Vegas because she had tickets to see him in concert.
They drove from Colorado which being America was a fair old distance and were due to stay in the MGM Grand hotel.
However, when they got there, they found out Tom Jones was ill and had cancelled the show.
So the mother of Mrs T was royally pissed off and demanded to go straight home. The stepfather did as was told and drove back to Colorado.
Just as well as there was a fatal fire at the MGM Grand which killed 85 people and to this day remains the biggest tragedy in Nevada history.
I hope that you enjoyed these Tom Jones tunes.
Which was your favourite (if any) ?
If i am honest I could have played more and may well do a follow Tom Jones ttt later in year.
But I will include a bonus ....
We did mention Tiny Desk Concerts so here is the concert which has four lesser known songs...
Do check out what NPR said about the BIG desk concert
Enjoy!

Haste Ye Back!

Great choice, it has been a while since I have heard Tom in action! He certainly had the moves back in the day.
Ah yes the moves, those he had right enough.
Tom Jones! Awesome music! Great choices! The funny thing I've heard from celebrities who have met him in person say he is real jerk! Never met him so I can't say, just though those were funny stories. He sings some damn good music though!
!DHEDGE
Yes he had some great tunes and a right old showman. I could believe it though as some celebrities can be pretty bitchy and I know he was proud to be Welsh but the locals thought he could have done more for his home town.

There are some real gems in the Tiny Desk Concert. I love them!!!
An all-time classic, the sexy Tom Jones!!! And how lucky for your in-laws that concert in Las Vegas was canceled, wow!
There really are, I saw the list and they seem to be almost daily now in the last few years.
Awesome stuff! Tom will always be associated with Carlton from Fresh Prince for many of the younger viewers that remember that show. He was always a great entertainer though. Tom I mean, not Carlton. I like his cover of Burning Down the House. Great stuff!
Now you have me asking Mrs T about Carlton from Fresh Prince..
Well damn I don't remember that, just watched a clip lol!
Haha, that is too funny. It was his shtick back then.
I was really annoyed when they replaced him with Boy George on The Voice the other year, damn right rude and that was
I have no idea what The Voice is, but I would rather Tom Jones sang than Boy George lol!
You don't watch telly? But I don't blame you tbh. It's a talent show where contestants sing behind the four mentors and they select people based on their voice only to build their team. It then goes through knock outs till you get a winner
This was very emotional
Oh right. Stopped watching TV years ago, unless it comes on Netflix or Amazon Prime I won't see it.
I can see why you miffed then. Emotional indeed.
Wooooooohooooo! Sex bomb! I love this song! Sex bomb sex bomb! You’re my sex bomb! Lmao.
I didn’t know that we story of yours. Also, I like that first song. It was going to be my favorite but then I heard the third one. So I have a new one added to the list. His voice is divine!
That second one, I loved his moves! But that’s about it.
I really love sex bomb. The music is something else!
Sex bomb is just brilliant, I defy anyone not to sing it lol
Glad you liked it, and now you know that some old music is good music!
Hahaha, I love the lyrics of "it's not unusual". Really these days, it's not unusual to be mad with anyone or sad with anyone 😅, even at that, someone out there is in love with you or them😅😅. Why haven't I heard about Tom Jones before? I love his moves in that second song and the first, but he was actually turning the whole town round with his sex bomb. 😃. Nice share, well done.
#dreemerforlife
He has song so many great things and was friends with Elvis. Have you heard of Elvis?
Great tunes indeed and glad you liked them!
Haven't heard of Elvis either. Nice choice of songs, I must say

I think that's mostly because he may have stuffed a sock down his pants.
Great choices. Tom Jones may not be taken too seriously in the US, but he has a helluva voice.
