For the better part of a century Tom Jones has kept his mojo running strong. A cultural icon, Jones is responsible for some of the biggest pop hits of the past 50 years—including “It’s Not Unusual,” “She’s A Lady” and “What’s New Pussycat.” The later of these took on new life after former Saturday Night Live writer and standup comic John Mulaney turned the song into a hilarious bit. It’s hard to believe Jones would take it too hard. After all the Welsh-born singer has a good sense of humor. Remember when he played himself in Tim Burton’s uproarious sci-fi comedy Mars Attacks?
