Weekly finale: John Mulaney and Tom Jones

Another week ends, and I present you with the weekly musical finale.

For this week, I offer a finale based on one of my favorite comedy monologues, "The Salt and Pepper Diner" by John Mulaney:



With this being the weekly musical finale, this leads to two Tom Jones songs.

First, "What's New Pussycat?":


It is hard to believe that song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

Finally, here is the much better "liberation of France" song, "It's Not Unusual":



As Wikipedia describes it:

"It's Not Unusual" is a song written by Les Reed and Gordon Mills, first recorded by a then-unknown Tom Jones, after having first been offered to Sandie Shaw. Jones recorded what was intended to be a demo for Shaw, but when she heard it she was so impressed with Jones's delivery that she declined the song and recommended that Jones release it himself.

And the rest is history.

Enjoy your weekend, and I will return for more blogging on Monday.
