Tom Jones, The Cardigans - Burning Down The House (Official Video) 

Whoever thought to pair up Jones and the Cardigans to cover this song is a freakin' genius.

His voice is so powerful, he blew out a large number of microphones in the recording studio over the years.

Was never ever a Tom Jones fan. I appreciated he has a good voice. That being said I listened to his album reloaded. Like this ^^ lots of other artists Top 10 album in my world now

He’s got such a fantastic voice, it’s as strong as when he first started out years ago

Tom Jones and the cardigans what a powerful voice perfect❤

Viewed this based on a Mitski Live Performance at KEXP Seattle. She recommended it - said it was wild and an awesome collaboration, which it is on both counts! 🔥

So that's what David Byrne was singing.

i love this song

I ❤ this song

Came here to listen to this as I was _"Folding up my pants"_ and realised I was singing this song in my head with those words ✨ Great video. Tom bringing Mad energy levels - contrasting great with Nina's cool energy. Love their close ups to camera 🤩

Sir TOM ages like fine wine. 🍾

Awesome version

Wow ..... I like it a lot....!!! That TJ doesn't age .....looks great for being like 102... Nina is off the hook... of course!!

Me fascina esa voz hermosa de Tom

This video is just edited funny and good

Nina is just some echo of the Great Tom. Sounds like Backing vocalist like Sheryl Crow.

Tom Jones is the SHIT!!! Awesome

I say given what they want. What would you say people?

hermosa

I saw Tom in concert early 80's. Omgawd....sexxxxxxy.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I am a Talking Heads purist, but oh mah GAWD! I can't believe I have lived this long, without seeing this video. Brilliant!

The contrast between Tom's bombastic vocals and Nina's cool vocals make this song so special.

According to an interview with Nina , Tom entered the studio , chatted for 5-10 minutes , prepared 2 minutes and then nailed his singing part in the first take.

This is great. I love it that Tom Jones stays relevant by teaming up with current artists. His voice is one of few of the old guard that has survived beautifully.

Nina has a fantastic voice and Sir Tom is an absolute legend. I'm sure David Byrne is proud of this cover version.

A lot of singers can be personalities, Tom Jones is an ENTERTAINER!

Saw Tom perform last night, he’s 82 (almost 83) and put on a great show and his voice is as strong as ever!

Tom's voice is at its best when he's belting a song out. No half measures.

This is so awesome! The on-point vocals, the shimmery latex-clad dancers, the obvious fun everyone is having, and, of course, the great squelchy timeless funk of the song itself. What an inspired remake! An unabashed treat. Go Tom! Go Nina!

Tom Jones absolutely nails this.

Tom Jones is an absolute legend who has always kept up with the times but never selling out his style. I completely applaud him for doing so. This version rocks! :)

Its 2023 and this house is stil burning. Tom & Nina rules.

Tom Jones is an example of what excellent musical training, natural musicianship and passionate delivery can do to any song.

I feel like they recorded this thinking “this is TOTALLY going to be in an Austin Powers movie!”

I turn 66 in March. Back in the early to mid 1970’s my maternal grandmother was the same age I am now. I was extremely close to her. I spoke with her multiple times a day even throughout high school. She was a strong, wonderful woman, but very religious. She never cursed and never drank a drop of liquor until she was in her mid 80’s and went to Europe to celebrate after having both her hips and knees surgically replaced! She had ONE glass of wine in France to celebrate. So back in the early to mid 70’s she called and my mom answered the phone. My mom spoke to her for awhile and then asked if I wanted to talk to my Granny. I was lying in the floor watching one of the talk/variety shows (not sure if it was Mike Douglas or Dick Cavett or who….) I was very eagerly awaiting #TomJones to come out and perform. I told my mom to tell Granny I would call her back after I watched Tom Jones. My mother relayed the message. Suddenly, my mom yelled, “MOTHER! What did you say? WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT?!?” Tom wasn’t on yet so I instantly asked what Granny said. My mom was shocked. She finally blurted out: “Your GRANDMOTHER wants to know if you’re creaming your jeans waiting for Tom Jones!” My jaw DROPPED. I said I would figure it all out AFTER Tom Jones performed. I watched Tom and as usual: HUBBA HUBBA! ❤ I called my Granny back. I thought she couldn’t possibly know what that phrase meant, but it seems one of my male cousins who was in college at the time had taken it upon himself to keep our very religious, but very cool grandma apprised of all the hip lingo. She knew what it meant and thought it was hilarious. She admitted to me years later when I was an adult that her saying that was the closest she ever came to cursing. But she felt it was important especially since she also liked Tom Jones. Generations of women bonding over Sir Tom Jones for decades. We will always love you, Tom! ❤❤❤

Posted 3 years ago?!? I can't believe it took me this long to stumble on to this! Thank you, RU-vid suggestions!!!!

Can go years without listening to this, and it’ll still pop into my head sporadically. So much passion for a relatively fun song 🫡

Tom Jones literally a force of nature, Nina Persson an incredibile interpreter too and on top of that she looks like a goddess

One of the best covers of the 90’s? Who’s still burning down the house in 2024?

Tom Jones.. On one day he saves Earth from an alien invasion, on another day he reappears on RU-vid to burn down the House.. LEGEND.

I love the contrast between their voices. Tom voice is so powerful and masculine. Nina's is so gentle, calm and feminine.

The mark of a great singer - the ability to move from decade to decade and embrace the new. Absolute legend!

Tom Jones has countless old videos of teaming up with talented musicians such as himself. Truly a treasure trove of beautiful songs. This is the latest one I’ve seen and I am impressed again.

THE Tom Jones doing David Byrne??? I ask myself, MY GOD! WHAT HAS HE DONE!

Mr. Jones is everything but an ordinary guy.

Super-cool delivery left, right and centre. Loving Nina Persson's stylish stance and overwhelmingly understated eyebrow work next to Sir Tom's almost psychedelic facial expressions. Priceless, and timeless. Something sure can sweep me off my feet

I'm energized. Thank you, Tom Jones.

Nice to finally see an official version on RU-vid! Great song!

I like to think there was a very awkward conversation in which the director had to convince Tom Jones he couldnt wear one of the silver bodysuits for the video

I remember when this song came out, my mother who has been out of touch with music for a long time just turned and said.... Tom Jones is still singing??? :))

Tom Jones...always a stellar showman and passionate singer. I've always loved him. He doesn't take himself too seriously. Always seems to be having a blast.

So many musicians just become kind of pathetic when they get older and still try to compete with the young ones. Tom Jones is one of the few who can pull it off. Even at his age, he's still got it.

Terrific rendition! Absolutely fab and funky. ✌

If Tom Jones is an ordinary guy, then I must be living in a different universe.

The king of Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ❤️

This man has swag these kids could only dream of.

Tom Jones absolutely smashes this

It's not unusual...to love this version.

I've been waiting for years for this video to reappear on RU-vid.

I never thought I could enjoy a cover of Burning Down the House, but that was just too much fun. I'm also not familiar with the Cardigans, but now I'll have to look them up. That woman has a wonderful voice.

1999, 25 years later still a great song!

It's impressive how their voices completed each other.

Tom Jones: the definition of coolness in 7 decades and counting.

What is happening here? How have I not heard this previously? Not sure I can endorse this, but a must listen at least once.

This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. Sexy and clear vocals. Tom Jones is still one of the hottest singers, he's never lost his edge. To span so many generations and still sing that well, just Wow. Amazing.

If anyone can take it over the top, Tom can. So fun.

One of those rare covers that is better than the original! Nina and Tom's voices just harmonize perfectly.

Mmm weird no one talking about the talking heads 🧐

As much as I die a little when that lady raises her left eyebrow - I just keep rewatching this. And unlike many of their “mainstream hits” - this tune showcases that band is full of weapons grade musicians. Effing tight. Oh - and Tom Jones being that force no other man can in the world.

One of the few duets I like, and it's somehow also a duel. ;-)

Sir Tom of Jones singing with Nina Persson , OMG this is still EPIC nowadays !!

Nina's looks at the camera are my everything.

A great cover! Not an imitation, genuinely make the song their own.

I've been a fan of Talking Heads for 40 years, can't believe I only now found this amazing cover. Absolutely stunning version, can't stop listening to it.

The dancers really REALLY need to keep stretching their necks.

Always loved her voice,and she is singing with TOM freaking JONES! Very cool, timeless cover.

It didn't know it, but the universe needed this.

I am blown away. My adolescence is shaken. Tom Jones is THE MAN!

Tom Jones' voice is so accurate for this song

Every time I watch this video it makes me smile. Something about this video just makes me happy inside.

Damn, Tom Jones has still got it. What a great voice...he can literally sing anything and make it sound awesome!

Im going to make an edit of this video where every time Nina Persson uncomfortably raises her eyebrows, it speeds up by 5%

Tom Jones. The Mike Tyson of lounge bar pop.

Well Gets What Nina Persson I Will Dream Your White Dress And Your White Peptoe High Heels Shoes With Tom Jones In The Music Video Burning Down The House

Well this is kind of like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Which I *love*.

This guy kicks Martian ass. Sold. 👍

We all need more Tom Jones.

Finally we have the official video.

Tom Jones ROCKS!!! Still has THAT VOICE! Blues, balls in the tone.

Why am I just hearing this? We need radio to start playing the stuff we need to hear not what they want us to hear. This is fire.

How cool is this! Tom Jones has always been cool and she’s always been smoking! Lol Great cover.

This was my daughter's favourite song when she was six. Twenty-five years later, she just looks at me and says "My house", and off we go with a karaoke version. I'm still unsure whether she has ever heard the original.

Tom Jones' voice is Legendary and Nina with the Cardigans is so attractively gorgeous. Love❤❤

It's not unusual... for Tom Jones to Burn down the house with his awesomeness

Why does it say 2003? It came out in 1999.
