Tom Jones is a famous singer.

History

Mr. Burns held him against his will and made him sing "It's Not Unusual" to Marge and Homer. He tried to get them to get help but they just listened to him instead.

When Homer said that in showbiz, what goes up, must go down, Tom Jones was one of the names Bart and Lisa mentioned that flawed this, along with Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.

Milo, the owner of Coolsville Comics & Toys, frequently played Korean pop covers of Tom Jones' songs inside his store, in particular "What's New Pussycat?".

Jones appeared on the cover of his album This Is Exactly What Will Happen When You Play This Record, covered in women's underwear.
