Framed

Tom Jones, Framed

Hello, readers, and welcome back to Framed, the blog that does just about everything right. This week, we're bringing you the very talented Mr. Tom Jones, the Welsh pop singer who's been with us since the 1960s. Tom's had a slew of hits, including "It's Not Unusual," "What's New Pussycat?," "Green, Green Grass Of Home," and "Delilah." This week's video is Tom's take on "Mama Told Me Not To Come," the kind-of humorous Randy Newman song that was a monster hit for Three Dog Night.

Tom, as everyone knows, is a veritable sex machine, and women often impale themselves on massive spikes if denied his charms. Even now, at the age of 70, he exudes pheromones that science had previously declared unexudable. 

We have great hopes that you'll enjoy this week's video and this week's captions, which are--as always!--simply given to you. Because they pay us! Be back here next week for even more in the way of video caption fun, as we feature a legendary band! Sort of!

Important blog note! We thought your captions last week were quite funny. So let's take the time to honor a quirky one that certainly made us laugh, submitted by Munchy, who seems to be a newer reader.

"I, state your name, do solemnly swear..."

 Nice touch there, Munchy! Keep up the good work, everyone!

 

1 -- "Kid, listen to me, and do something about the eyebrows. It is unusual to look like a total goof.  "

 

2 -- How many more women would name Jones as the father?

 

3 -- "But how did so many mice burrow into your hair?"

 

4 -- "Jesus. Is Sinatra always drunk?"

 

5 -- "And after you take this pill I'll set up your screen test, honey."

 

6 -- "Yes! We know all the Michael Buble songs!"  

 

7 -- You've heard of being between a rock and a hard place? Yeah, this is the exact opposite.

 

8 -- "Oh, God, I am humble yet joyful in your presence."

 

9 -- This dramatic re-enactment--Mama Cass vs. the ham sandwich--is available only on Y! Music.

 

10 -- Framed''s newest character, the Horrifying Transvestite Cowboy, probably won't be seen a whole lot more after this.

 

11 -- She's the kind you'd like to flaunt and take to dinner. At some dive. At three in the morning.

 

12 -- "No way, Mr. Jones! You actually know Engelbert Humperdinck?"
